Worship at Calvary

Here For Good

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2026 AT 10AM PST


The prophet Jeremiah wrote a letter to people from his community who were living in exile. They did not want to be in Babylon, but sometimes people get caught up in world events and end up where they wouldn't have chosen to go. Jeremiah doesn't pretend they aren't in exile. He does tell them to care for the community where they have been sent in exile, to plant deep roots in foreign soil, to build a home that is not in their home. How are we to use our gifts and live our lives in light of this message from Jeremiah?

Jeremiah 29:1-7


These are the words of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the remaining elders among the exiles, and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. This was after King Jeconiah, and the queen mother, the court officials, the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the artisans, and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem. The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah son of Shaphan and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom King Zedekiah of Judah sent to Babylon to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. It said: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.

Two women, a child, a sword, and a freshly-anointed king. When everything’s on the line, what truly moves your heart? Come remember the saints and gather at God's table this All Saints Sunday.

The prophet Samuel warned the people Israel: Kings are takers. The king will take your sons, your daughters, your fields, your produce, your servants, your herds, your flocks. Power doesn’t always corrupt; corruption is a byproduct when a person in power is arrogant instead of grateful.

Like the family stories we tell again and again, retelling our congregation’s “origin story” can reveal our core values and key commitments as people of faith, remind us of our own courage and calling, and invite us to recommit to following God’s purposes in our lives.
