Jesus has said that disciples walking with him will be like a city on a hill which cannot be hidden (Matthew 5:14). Watch this sermon as Dr. Jay Harvey explores how Israel’s time in Exile informs the Church’s understanding of what it means to be a new kind of community in Jesus Christ — a city within a city that nurtures those inside it and blesses those outside of it.
