Missio on Loving the City: Jeremiah 29

Rev. Dr. Bill Fullilove | 3 min read

Jeremiah 29 is one of the seminal texts to biblically consider faith, work, and vocation.  Unfortunately, verse 11 is often read without the surrounding context: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11, ESV)...

“Let’s Start at the Very Beginning, a Very Good Place to Start”

Rev. Dr. Bill Fullilove | 3 min read

“Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start…” Julie Andrews sang Rodgers and Hammerstein’s famous line in The Sound of Music.  And that’s good advice. Genesis 1 and 2 bear a disproportionate influence on our understanding of our world because they show us the way God made it – before human...
