Some notes from this afternoon's session:
"That's not quite right, let's go back and do it together."
We (the church) are a people in exile. We would like to go back to Jerusalem. But what if God doesn't want us to go back but rather wants us to be God's people where we are?
Exile is a breeding ground for hope. Hope not rooted in history is dangerous.
Questions to think about:
In what ways do we see that the church is living in exile?
As a people in exile, how is God equiping us to 'build houses and live in them' (that is to do more than exist/survive)?
How are we 'seeking the welfare of the city' where God has sent us?
