Why Christians Should Care About Their City | Jeremiah 29:5–11
August 16, 2026
Is it possible to celebrate even in bad times?
The Book of Lamentations is about the aftermath of the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC. It’s a sad book, written in the ashes of Jerusalem.
And yet right in the middle there is a note of hope and gratitude.
See, it’s possible for God’s people to celebrate, even in bad times.
This is because we always have hope that God has a great future planned.
