What do you do when systems oppress you? Most of us want to tear them down or walk away. But God gave the Babylonian exiles a different command: seek your oppressor’s welfare. Plant gardens in enemy soil. Pray for the city that holds you captive. This wasn’t passive acceptance of injustice—it was revolutionary strategy.
Join us as we explore how powerless exiles outlasted mighty empires through faithful presence. Discover what transformative justice looks like in McPherson—where seeking genuine welfare for everyone creates the shalom we all need. We’ll examine how small acts of justice multiply into movements that topple oppression, and why your future depends on your community’s flourishing.
This is the final message in our “Called to More” series, revealing God’s most radical calling yet. Come discover how to bloom justice in unlikely places and choose engagement over escape. New members welcome, First Fruits celebration, Christ the King Sunday.
