City of Ruins: Babylon

by Scott Ancarrow

Babylon

Daniel 3, Jeremiah 29:4-13

Temptations of Babylon:

  • Cynicism and Despair 

  • Numbing/Escapism 

  • Hustle and try to"make it." 

The Immediate Pressures of Babylon 

Daniel 3:1, 4-6

Daniel  3:24-27 

God's presence is more than a "theory" in Babylon  

"Shalom" is more than naive optimism 

We must examine the voices shaping our picture of "shalom." 

The  Longsuffering  of Babylon 

Jeremiah 29:3-10

When you feel Cynical...

When you feel numb...

When you stuck in the hustle...

Jeremiah 29:11-13
