Blessing Babylon - More than a Story

The Bible is God’s saving story for each one of us, but what about the parts of the story that seem out of place? How does salvation fit the occupation by Rome, bondage in Egypt, and exile in Babylon? What if we understood these parts of the story as God’s way of saving us from ourselves? As we learn to embrace exile in today’s culture we will realize our purpose found in God’s grace…grace that still saves, provides freedom, and calls us to bless Babylon.
