I love Jeremiah 29. It's one of my favorite passages (though I'm somewhat skeptical of the value of having "favorite" portions of God's Word since you're implying less preference for others...), and not because of the oft-miss-applied Jer. 29:11, but because of the often-overlooked passage that immediately precedes it (Jer. 29:4-7, especially Jer. 29:7!). "Seek the peace and prosperity of the city... and pray for it"; here's two great sermons laying that out:
Tim Keller, Redeemer PCA, NYC, "[RISE] Serving the City"
Dan Rogers, Christ the King, Dorchester, "The J29 Project"
Tim Keller, Redeemer PCA, NYC, "[RISE] Serving the City"Dan Rogers, Christ the King, Dorchester, "The J29 Project"
