The Centre Dural Podcast

A Theology of Gardening - Murray Lambert

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)
The prophet Jeremiah writes these words to a nation in the middle of exile. As refugees of war, living in a foreign land where they're treated as second-class citizens, God tells them to  “5 Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce." 
Why is God telling Israel to plant gardens of all things in the midst of exile?

The Fall of Babylon - Mitch Levingston

In Jeremiah's time Babylon was an impenetrable city, an all-powerful empire which seemed indestructible. Yet God promised this evil empire would be overthrown and justice would prevail.
Is there an issue or situation that feels too big for God to handle? Mitch reminds us that even the great city of Babylon was no match for the power and justice of God.

A Symbol of Hope - Mitch Levingston

Jeremiah's purchase of land on the eve of the Babylonian invasion was not a "wise investment" by human standards. But the symbol of hope it represented was a powerful reminder of God's promise for restoration in the midst of suffering.
What's your symbol of hope that keeps you focused on God's promise to restore all things?
