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.
Gospel Justice and the Way of Jesus | Passion Talks, (passiontalks.wordpress.com), Silicon Valley, August 15, 2020
​​
In the midst of a global pandemic, the world finally paid attention to our brother’s voice crying out, “I can’t breathe.” Not the first to cry out for life at the hands of systemic racism, George Floyd’s last words serve as a global rallying cry, “Black Lives Matter.” Since his murder, peaceful protests and demonstrations continue, and many in the Church, some perhaps for the first time, have joined the outcry for justice. Gospel justice and racial reconciliation have been cornerstones of Spark Church since their founding seven years ago, serving as a core expression of the way of Jesus. Join us as Pastor Danielle Parish, co-founder and lead pastor of Spark Church, speaks to the biblical pursuit of justice and its centrality to the Christian faith. Following her remarks, a diverse panel of Spark members, leaders and founders will discuss how the pursuit of “Gospel Justice” renews and strengthens their relationship with Jesus, the Church, and their communities. This panel has the following speakers: Pastor Danielle Parish, Founder/Board Member Stacey Arevalo, Pastor Tom Arrington, Pastor Kevin Neuner, Pastor Marcus Randolph, Founder/Board Member Pamala Simpson.

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.
