Life in Babylon

4 Weeks

Big Idea of the Series

This four-week series counsels us on how to live with character and integrity in a hostile and contentious culture. As Christians, we are called to love people and to love God. Loving people sometimes involves having the courage to speak truth and offer constructive criticism; loving God can sometimes mean believing and doing things that are countercultural. This series gives us some guidance in how to live out and stay true to our beliefs in a society that may conflict with our faith.

Using This Series Guide

What is the Series Guide?

The Series Guide is a comprehensive resource designed to help you lead your congregation through this sermon series. It includes weekly sermon outlines, discussion questions, and key theological insights to support your teaching preparation.

Each guide has been thoughtfully crafted to provide you with both depth and flexibility as you prepare your messages.

This series includes 4 weeks of content.

What is the Series Guide Not?

The Series Guide is not a word-for-word sermon script. It's not meant to replace your own study and preparation, but rather to complement it with additional resources and structure.

It also doesn't include all media assets - those are available in the downloads section.

How Do I Use this Series Guide?

We recommend starting with the series overview to understand the big picture themes. Then, for each week, review the scripture passages, main points, and illustrations provided.

Use the discussion questions for small groups or to spark your own thinking. Feel free to adapt any content to fit your congregation's specific needs and context.
