Pastor Bill Bush · Sep 29, 2019
Drawing from Jeremiah 29, Pastor Bill Bush challenges the popular, comfort-centered reading of Jeremiah 29:11 by restoring its original context: a letter written to exiles whose lives had been completely upended by God's own discipline. True goodness, he argues, is not defined by happiness or prosperity but by God Himself. Every plan God allows or orchestrates — even painful ones — is aimed at drawing us back into wholehearted relationship with Him, because anything that does not lead us to God, no matter how pleasant it feels, simply is not good.
