Sermons About Green
Green
God’s command to fill the earth and subdue it was intended not only as a provision, but also as a responsibility. It is the church with its God mandated commission to be stewards of creation that should be leading the “green†discussion. Unfortunately the church has allowed the world to take control of the agenda of the discussion. Much of the agenda of the “green†movement has elevated those things created on days one through five to a higher value than those created on day six. It is here that Christians need to reassume their rightful place in the discussion, take seriously the charge that we are to be stewards of the environment, with the understanding that while all of creation was declared good by God, only one part was created in his image, and that was man.

Do Good: Creation
God has charged us with caring for and cultivating the earth. Our relationship to God's creation should not be one of misuse but one of good stewardship and responsible consideration. Simple things we do every day can help reduce the negative impact our lives have on the earth. Pastor Jason admonishes us to try a few simple steps as a starting place to DO GOOD to creation: recycle rather than throw things away, replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs, and reduce our speed on the road from 75 to 65 mph.
