Water

The creation narratives confirm that the primary building blocks of creation itself begin with water and God’s very breath. Subsequently, the vitality of creation is directly tied to the health of the waters that cover and flow through the world. But have we forgotten or perhaps even blocked the breath of God from continuing to be a force of the planet’s wellness?

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.
