July and August Sermon Series
Next week, we begin a new sermon series, Living in a Foreign Land. Being displaced is one of the stories of our decade in history. Mass movements of people because of war, famine, and disease have created ongoing stories of people living in exile far from home, but living in exile is more than just a physical state. Being a refugee can happen emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. It can happen when you haven’t moved, but commitments or your culture move, and you find yourself on the margins and no longer at home. Join us as we study the book of Daniel, looking at this refugee and how he not only survived in exile, but thrived.
