TEACHING SERIES: Bend, Don’t Break SERMON TITLE: Citizen of Where BY: Tim Chilvers DATE: Sunday 05 May 2024 BIBLE PASSAGES: Daniel 1:1-5 & Jeremiah 29:4-7 EXCERPT: In an election year, how do you live when you feel like you don’t fit in? It can be easy to resist and complain. And yet. In the ancient book of Daniel we find a people who are a long way from home, in Babylon. But, how they live changes everything for them, and for the people they live amongst. “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yeah, we wept, when we remembered Zion” (Boney M) “Undeserved kindness changes things.” (Heather Holdsworth) Welcome: What's true of Riverside Church when we meet together in-person is still true of us online.
