Focusing On The Family In Troubling Times | Jeremiah 29 | Brian Shannon

1/15/2023
In Jeremiah 29, the prophet Jeremiah communicated the Lord’s instructions for the Israelites during their exile from Israel and captivity in Babylon. At the heart of these instructions, God exhorted the Israelites to focus on their families. Even as the Israelites endured the consequences of their failure to follow God (resulting in their exile), God had a plan for them to thrive and ultimately be restored to their home country. Join Pastor Brian Shannon as he shares why the family was such an essential part of God’s plan for the Israelites, and how those principles directly apply to God’s plans for all of mankind today.
