The story of Israel in the Old Testament included being taken away as exiles to a foreign land, and the promise of God to bless all nations through them seemed to be on the ropes. This week Jake, Ahren and Matt took a look at this moment in the story, and hear God's heart speak to His people in exile, in Jeremiah 31. There is something for us in God's words to them, today - in our own kinds of "exile" or rebellion, and in a cultural moment shifting away from allegiance to Christ. God's heart to them speaks volumes to us today. We're inviting you to hear what God may have to say to you through this - in a "podcast-style" sermon.
