How can we thrive in the city? How can we experience a deep sense of purpose in living here? On this page, you will find three resources. First, there is a link to a sermon series aiming to uncover a biblical view of cities, and the mandate for God’s people to be in the city. Second, there is a series of short articles more directed at the practical questions of how to thrive in the city. Finally, there is an excellent book by Tim Keller which is both practically-minded and theologically rich.

RECOMMENDED READ
Loving the City by Tim Keller. The Bible is full of cities. Most of the scripture’s narrative centres around them. Jerusalem, Babylon, Ninevah, and Rome. The list goes on. In this book, Keller explores the city's significance in scripture, from their anti-God origins to their future redemption. Finally, he gives us tools for engaging with culture as Christians in the metropolis.
A helpful book for anyone looking to be reinvigorated and equipped for mission in their urban community.
