Biblical Story Workshop: Session 7

In this session, Ross and Justin follow Israel into one of the darkest moments of the biblical story: the exile. We look at the fall of Jerusalem, life in Babylon, and the eventual return of God’s people under Persian rule. Along the way, we explore themes of repentance, faithfulness in exile, God’s covenant promises, the preservation of David’s royal line, and the longing for God’s presence to fully return. Even after the people come back to the land, the story leaves us waiting for something greater—a true King, a true Temple, and a deeper restoration still to come.
