Sermon – Easter Sunday 2016

This week, Mother Liz reflects on Jeremiah’s symbolic purchase of a field while imprisoned during the Babylonian siege — a striking act of hope amid devastation. Though exile and ruin loomed, Jeremiah preserved the deed as a sign that “houses and fields and vineyards shall again be bought in this land.” In our own times of crisis and uncertainty, we are invited to consider how small, faithful actions can witness to God’s future: investing in justice, caring for neighbors and creation, and nurturing hope for generations yet to come.
