Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost
The Israelites called Jerusalem home because they believed God lived in Jerusalem. But when the Babylonian exile robbed them of their home, they also lost their identity, their welfare, and their perceived proximity to God. The prophet Jeremiah delivers a startling message to those in Babylon: settle in, build homes, and plant gardens in that foreign land. What does this mean for those in exile? Where does God dwell when we are uprooted? What does God say when our dreams unravel?
