Worship at the Cabin: Creation Care

July 23, 2018
Rev. Brad Barton
Creation Care, Environment, Environmental Stewardship
Exodus, Genesis, Leviticus, Mark, Numbers

I said it before; I’ll say it again. I’m not an environmentalist. You will not anytime soon be hearing me advocating any kind of mandatory restrictions on people’s enjoyment of God’s creation. However, what you’ve heard today and what you will CONTINUE to here is a person of God imploring you to CHOOSE to perform one of the primary jobs God placed people here to perform: caring for God’s creation the way God would care for it, the way God showed us throughout scripture to care for it. Choose to participate in God’s desires and efforts to care for creation in such a way that creation can continue to care for people for generations to come.

Tempted to Keep Jesus a Secret

Folks, all around us, as in the time of Moses, people are dying. Literally, everyone dies. Metaphorically, people are dying to the ways of this world long before their earthly bodies give out. Just as the people of Moses’ time had to gaze upon the serpent if they wanted to live, people of our time must gaze upon Christ, must look up to Him and experience Him and make a decision to follow Him, in order that they might have the new life God offers through Him. Will you give them a chance to see Christ? Will you help them look up?
