Living in Babylon | April 6th | Autin White | Week 5 by Tidal Church

Isaiah 47 & 48, Living in Babylon as Citizens of Jerusalem - Ken Rucker - 3-23-2025 by NewBranch

Message from Andrew Robbins on March 23, 2025

This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 23rd February 2025. The reading was Jeremiah 29:1-14. In this powerful message, Damilola explores what it looks like for God's people to live faithfully in exile. Drawing from Jeremiah's letter to the exiles in Babylon, she challenges us to seek God's will above our own, to be sacrificially present in our culture while remaining distinct, and to rely on the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. Though we face hardships and live as foreigners in this world, we have the hope of God's ultimate restoration and the resources of heaven to live for His glory wherever He has placed us.

"The Love that God Hates (While Living In Babylon)" from Pastor Pat Nemmers.

Daniel 1

Stephanie here! Do, you, like me, feel more like an outsider in the American culture today than you did ten years ago, as a Christian? If that's the case, you're not alone. The question is, what kind of outsider will we become? Will we become a combative outsider and rage against your enemies? Will we become a conformist outsider and mirror the world around us? Will we become a conflict-averse outsider and avoid confrontation at all costs? GIWEAWAY COMING UP! In our February newsletter, we will give away THREE copies of "Joyful Outsiders" in partnership with Patrick and his publisher, Zondervan. We will also give 3 copies of our previous January book interview ("Happy Lies" by Melissa Dougherty, episode 374). So make sure to be signed up to our newsletter for a chance to win. Sign up here: https://www.gospelspice.com/signup How can I convey to you the timely importance of this book? This has to do with the questions that we encounter every day and that make us feel like outsiders. Like, how do I react when my child's teacher claims that there are hundreds of genders? Or, what do I say when my best friend calls me a Marxist because I'm troubled by systemic racism? Or, how do I talk with my mom when she posts conspiracy theories on Facebook? Or, how do I talk to my coworker who says that all Christians are bigots? For these important questions that we have to face today, there isn't one size fits all solutions. We need to first remember that as Christians, we are outsiders to the culture we live in. As Patrick Miller, says, we live in Babylon, and yet we are called by scripture to both make our home in Babylon and resist Babylon. How do we do that? Jesus calls us to live seamless lives, and yet the fear that we encounter daily when we experience being an outsider, that fear has a habit of making scenes in our lives. How can we together resist Babylon's efforts to tear the fabric of reality, even as we work to repair this fabric, and influence the world for Christ? It's really understandable that we want to relieve the tension. We could change our beliefs to fit in, we could rage against our enemies and force them to agree with us, or we could just retreat from it all. But do these options really help, or do they just help us feel more helpless and angry and confused? Do they make us more, or less Christlike? Jesus has so much for us. He's called us to be a joyful outsider like him. He was crucified as an outcast outside the city. Now he welcomes us to join him; to die to ourselves and discover that sacrificial love has the power to change the world. In Joyful Outsiders, pastors Patrick Miller and Keith Simon show us how to be a joyful outsider by laying out six ways to navigate a confusing culture at home, at work, and beyond. They draw on the examples of biblical characters to introduce six types of joyful outsiders: the artist, the protestor, the builder, the advisor, the ambassador, and the trainer. We might be an outsider in today's world, but that doesn't mean Jesus can't use us to change it.

Through it, you will learn healthy, biblical ways to both cultivate and resist the world around you. You will learn how to change the culture without becoming like it.

Scripture:  Daniel 1:1-6, Daniel 1:8, Daniel 2:14, Daniel 3:16-18, Isaiah 43:2, Daniel 6:5, Daniel 8:10 Speaker:  Scott Meyer Summary: This sermon focuses on living faithfully as Christians in a culture that feels foreign or opposed to God's values, using the story of Daniel and his friends in Babylon as an example. It emphasizes four key tips: maintain hope and trust in God's word, resist bitterness, remain respectful even in challenging circumstances, and develop a consistent prayer life. The sermon illustrates these points with stories of Daniel and his friends standing firm in their faith, refusing to bow to cultural pressures, and showing integrity, even when faced with dire consequences. The central reminder is that this world is not our true home; believers are ambassadors of God's kingdom in a foreign land. Ultimately, the message encourages reliance on God's presence during trials and trust in His guidance for living faithfully in any circumstance.

To be misunderstood is sad but a part of life. In Acts 22, Paul is a victim of a gross misunderstanding on his view of the Law and things go downhill from there. Let's examine Paul's reaction to this series of events and how it might assist us when we are misunderstood.

Living in Babylon | The Trouble with Dreams

By Rev Charlie Lacey | Jeremiah 29: 1-14 Jeremiah 29: 1-14 (NIV)The prophet Jeremiah urged the people of Judah to turn back to God and so avoid the impending disaster. When they did not repent, God eventually allowed the Babylonians to take them into captivity. But even in captivity, God continued to love his people, to speak to them, and to guide them in how to live.

The post LIVING IN BABYLON appeared first on GATEWAYFAMILY.

Babylon was a very rich and imposing world power.  When Daniel and the other captives were led there in chains, they faced many pressures to abandon their heritage and faith, and to conform to Babylonian culture.  But Daniel and his three companions remained faithful, and God blessed them greatly.  Today, Christians are living in their own "Babylon."  Will you and I remain faithful? 

As our series through 1 Peter concludes, let's take a look at the final verses. Know this--God loves you, the devil is after you, and you are called to His eternal glory in Christ.

Daniel lived in the midst of a pagan, wicked society for more than sixty-six years. That is a long time and it is plenty of time to become discouraged or compromised. Yet Daniel continued to live godly in the final days of his life just as he had in his teenage years. Our passage gives us the account of Daniel's service and influence on a third king and world leader. Through the pressures, the persecution, the positions faithfully maintained godliness. May we his life encourage the same in us.  Download Notes Thanks for joining us for this episode and please take a moment to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

How do you think God wants you to act in our secular society? John was recently intrigued by the unusual instructions given to the Jewish exiles in Babylon. And it's a powerful lesson for followers of Christ today.
