June 21, 2026 Sunday Worship: Rooted for the Good of Others

Aaron Atchley

This week we will spend time with Jeremiah 29 and the familiar promise that God has plans to give His people hope and a future. But we will hear that promise in its original setting: spoken to people in exile, people who were not where they wanted to be and whose lives had not gone according to plan. Together we will ask what faithfulness looks like when we find ourselves in places or seasons we would not have chosen. God does not tell His people to put life on hold until things get easier; He tells them to build, plant, pray, and seek the good of the place where they are. We will remember that their calling was not cancelled by exile, and ours is not cancelled by difficult circumstances either. In Jesus, we are called salt and light, rooted in grace so that others may catch a glimpse of God’s goodness through us.
