4 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all who were carried away captive, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 Build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit. 6 Take wives and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters—that you may be increased there, and not diminished. 7 And seek the peace (shalom) of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace.

Listen along to Pastor Dusty as he shares timely and challenging message regarding our faith to move into new territory that God has for us.

This message from Numbers 13-14 easily applies to our personal lives as well as the present season of SouthHills Church.

“Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of the wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives into temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later.” - C.S. Lewis
