What does it mean to come home from exile?
In this powerful and hope-filled message from Melbourne Inclusive Church, we explore Psalm 126 and the promise of restoration, joy, and “greater things.” Just as Israel returned from Babylonian exile with laughter and songs of joy, we are reminded that God is still restoring, still renewing, and still bringing exiles home today.
This sermon connects the ancient story of exile and return to our present calling as an inclusive faith community. Through the life and teachings of Jesus, we see that the Kingdom of God is about radical welcome, deep reconciliation, and creating safe spaces for those who have felt pushed out, excluded, or forgotten.
As we prepare for the Greater Things Conference—welcoming global siblings from Mexico, Taiwan, and the US—we celebrate what God has done and look ahead with expectation for what God will continue to do.
-Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.
-We are called to help the exiles come home.
-Expect great things—because God is not finished yet. Join us as we pray, celebrate, and step boldly into the next season of Spirit-filled, inclusive ministry.
