By Faith 2027: Living Faithfully in Exile

BY FAITH 2027: Living Faithfully in Exile 
February 27th | 8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
Heritage Theological Seminary

What happens when following Jesus puts you out of step with the culture around you?

Daniel and his friends knew that tension.

The kingdom of Babylon looked unstoppable, with armies, wealth, and kings who could kill with a single word. Its culture embraced different virtues and values and worshiped false gods. Babylon didn’t just want them to live there. Babylon wanted to reshape them.

That pressure feels increasingly familiar in Canada. Every day, we feel pressure to conform to a culture that rejects what God calls good, celebrates sin, and questions the Christian worldview.

But though the nations rage, God still reigns over kings, empires, and every power that sets itself against the Ancient of Days.

How do we live in this world with uncompromising faithfulness to God? How do we engage it with grace and truth? How do we endure when faithfulness costs us something?

Our confidence is not in our courage, discipline, or strength. It’s in the God who rules over every kingdom, who is able to deliver, who keeps his promises, and who will never leave his people, not even in exile.

Babylon is not sovereign. God is.

On Saturday, February 27, 2027, join us at Heritage College & Seminary in Cambridge, Ontario, for By Faith 2027, a conference for young adults ages 18 to 30, hosted by The Gospel Coalition Canada and Heritage College & Seminary. Together we’ll explore the book of Daniel and learn how to live faithfully in exile, trusting Jesus, the Son of Man, who delivers us.
