Preaching on creation care – where to turn in the Bible by Dave Bookless Spring 2021
Somebody once challenged me on whether I could preach on Creation Care from any Bible passage. After all, if scripture’s big story starts with creation and ends with new creation, aren’t these the foundations on which the entire human story of blessing, sin, redemption and hope is anchored?
Personally, I relish the challenge of visiting churches which are either following a biblical book series or the Lectionary, and preaching on Creation Care from whatever I’m given. There is even a website (sustainable-preaching.org) providing outline sermons for all three years of the Revised Common Lectionary. It’s a great resource, with sermons from around the world, inevitably mixed in quality but with some real gems.
However, there are particular passages I have found most useful in engaging congregations. These notes are by no means exhaustive, but hopefully they may help with preaching on God’s Creation.
FOCUS ON JESUS
