The Bible is full of trees! We find them from the first chapter of Genesis (1:11-13) where God creates “seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds” and declares them “very good”, to the final chapter of Revelation (22:2). All this is a reminder that our faith is not only spiritual. Our faith is also deeply embodied in the physical world God has placed us in.
The Most Important Thing You Can do to Fight Climate Change: Talk About It! By Katherine Hayhoe2/20/2026 How do you talk to someone who doesn't believe in climate change? Not by rehashing the same data and facts we've been discussing for years, says climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. In this inspiring, pragmatic talk, Hayhoe shows how the key to having a real discussion is to connect over shared values like family, community, and religion -- and to prompt people to realize that they already care about a changing climate. "We can't give in to despair," she says. "We have to go out and look for the hope we need to inspire us to act -- and that hope begins with a conversation, today." A sermon by guest preacher Derrick Weston, drawing from Isaiah 32:14-18, exploring the intersection of faith, environmentalism, and social justice.
