Manage episode 433866660 series 3284416
Welcome to the livestream of today's service at Creekside Community Church! Join us as we explore the biblical theme of exile, tracing its significance from the Old Testament through to the New Testament. Discover how the experience of exile shapes our understanding of faith and identity as followers of Jesus in a world where we don't truly belong. 🔍 Key Points: Understanding exile: a state of not truly belonging where you find yourself. The exile of Israel and the spiritual exile of humanity. How Jesus ended our exile and the call for Christians to live as sojourners. Embrace your identity as an exile in this world: discontent is normal, hope for hospitality, but don't strive to make this world a paradise. 📖 Scripture References: 2 Kings 24:12-14 Genesis 3:21-24 Hebrews 11:8-10 Ezekiel 36:24-28 Zechariah 8:3-8 Mark 1:15 Matthew 8:20 1 Peter 2:24 1 Peter 1:1-2 John 15:19 Philippians 3:20 Tune in and be encouraged as we learn to navigate life as exiles, looking forward to the day when Jesus returns and our true home is restored.
