Title: Jeremiah
Reference: Jeremiah 29:1–14
Speaker: Taylor Fair, TaylorF@cckc.church

All creatures orient to home. It is the point of origin from which every species sets its bearings. Without our bearings, there is no way to navigate unknown territory; without our bearings, we are lost. … Nearly every creature shares some version of this deep attachment to a place in which life has been known to flourish, the kind of place we call home. - Sushana Zuboff, the Age of Surveillance Capitalism.

I feel that as long as the Shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable: I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again. - Frodo, The Fellowship of the Ring

How do you learn to live when you’ve lost all sense of home?

– Learn to be where your feet are.

To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul. - Simone Weil, The Need for Roots

The problem with Christians in America is not that they aren’t where they should be — rather they aren’t what they should be where they are. - Os Guinness,

– Pursue the good wherever you are

It was probably hard enough for the exiles to imagine they could pray to YHWH in Babylon, let alone that they should pray to him for Babylon - Christopher J.H. Wright, Jeremiah

The most consistent theme in the Scriptures for faithfulness at work is best characterized … by putting on work gloves, sacrificially laboring for the good of our neighbors. This is the consistent model of God’s people working in a pluralistic world. A distinctive Christian approach to faithfulness at work shows up as love demonstrated by selfless service to others. - Matt Rusten, Pastoring for Monday

– Never forget where you really belong

There is no real going back. Though I may come to the Shire, it will not seem the same; for I shall not be the same...Where shall I find rest? - Frodo, The Return of the King

God’s people can be at home even when they’re not at home.
