Creation Care + the People of God: Engaging in Environmental Stewardship | First Presbyterian Church, (fpcberkeley.org), Berkeley, CA, October 2, 2022

​

From the very beginning, the people of God have been called to care for the glorious earth that God created. Never has that mandate been more urgent! For this year’s Global Church Conference, we invite voices of those engaged in creation care to speak to us about the current global situation and about the theological call for Christians to join others in leading the way in environmental stewardship. We will also learn about other churches and organizations who are engaged in this critical work. As individuals and communities of faith, we hope to leave equipped and inspired to take action.

Setting The Stage | Spark.Church (spark.church), Palo Alto, CA, September 23, 2012

 

Every event held dear to our faith is bound by time and space. The doctrines of creation, redemption, incarnation, and salvation, were birthed through events that took place at specific times and places. So too, Jesus's life and ministry was rooted in the culture, and context of first-century Israel. The more we understand his world, the more we understand Jesus himself.
