Gardening in Babylon
2025-2026 THEME
Deep Faith in a Shallow World
This isn’t just a teaching series or a one-off church program. It’s a foundation to discover our Biblical identity as exiles. We are a faithful remnant, called to cultivate mini Edens wherever God plants us. The Way of the Exile is a challenging and all encompassing call to live with wisdom, resilience, and faithfulness in a world that is not our home.
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.
(Jeremiah 29:4-5)
