Creatures

When God created the creatures of the air, water, and land, God called them “good.” And when God created humans, part of our call is to tend to the goodness of creation, to partner with our non-human planet partners. What does the creation story tell us about our responsibility to our fellow creatures?

Scripture References: Genesis 1:20-27

From Series: "On Earth"

We pray, as Jesus taught us, for God’s will to be done on earth, as in heaven. God has assigned us to a place of privilege and responsibility. But if we are truly to be God’s hands at work caring for creation, we seemed to be falling short. This terrestrial home of ours is changing in some truly profound and ever-increasing ways. And we seem to be the problem. The effects of climate change on this planet continue to be one of the most pressing concerns for our time. As people of faith, we trust that God’s creative and redemptive love for creation will inspire us to action and sustain us as we work. Over these five weeks, we’ll wrestle together with what it means to be called as co-creators with God in this endeavor.
