Daniel 3 and Jeremiah 29 reveal the paradox of exile: we refuse Babylon’s idols and seek Babylon’s good. This sermon invites us to live as a creative minority — resisting compromise while renewing our city with Christ’s hope.

Daniel’s story in exile shows us how to resist cultural assimilation and stand firm in allegiance to God. We are called to live as a creative minority, distinct yet present, faithful in a world of compromise.

We live in a world that says, “I am lord,” but the gospel declares, “Jesus is Lord.” This sermon calls us to live as a creative minority—faithful, hopeful, and distinct in a post-Christian culture.

We are a forgetful people, prone to be shaped by culture instead of God’s story. Esther reminds us that even when God seems absent, He is faithful and calls us to remember.

Like Esther, we face the choice between comfort and costly obedience. True spiritual renewal comes through dying to self and living fully for Christ.

In a world obsessed with power and victimhood, Mordecai’s resistance in Esther reveals a better way—the path of faithful, vulnerable obedience to God.

In a world where God seems absent and power is abused, Esther reminds us that His providence is always at work — even through flawed people and dark circumstances. This sermon invites us to trust His hidden hand and live faithfully in exile.

True wisdom leads us to the good life—not through self-fulfillment, but through joyful submission to God. Rooted in Proverbs, this sermon shows how Jesus, the wisdom of God, forms us into people of righteousness, justice, and deep flourishing.

As God’s people, we are called and equipped to approach suffering not with withdrawal but with honest lament, bold protest, and humble surrender—finding peace not in answers, but in encountering God Himself.
