In our Exile & Return study, we unpack how the journey of God’s people in the Old Testament points us back to our own redemption reminding us that even in exile, God is actively at work bringing us home. 🏠✨ We don’t have to feel ashamed or embarrassed when trusting God feels hard or when the next step seems impossible. He is faithful and He walks with us every step of the way. 🙌 There’s still time to be a part of this transformative study! Join us at joinbsf.com to find your place in community

Daniel pours his heart out to God in prayer Daniel 9 - a prayer marked by humility, honesty, and deep dependence. Reflecting on Lesson 7 of Exile & Return, Dr. Carl Laney examines this powerful moment, showing how Daniel rooted his requests not in his own merit but in God’s character: His mercy, faithfulness, and righteousness.
