CJM's Ecumenical Earth Day Prayer Service for 2023 based on this year's Earth Day resource "Sowing Seeds: Prophetic Action to Climate Changed Lands". Music provided by Paul Vasile and sermon by CJM's Theological Education and Training Coordinator, Derrick Weston.
In a reflection on Matthew 3, Ched Myers offers context for John’s words and how we might bear fruits worthy of repentance in ourselves, our communities, and our churches.
How can we proclaim the good news of the Gospel in this time of despair and devastation? In this sermon, Creation Justice Ministries co-Executive Director Avery Davis Lamb draws on the language of "Living Hope" from Peter to explore the connection between hope, suffering, and action, and offer preachers and teachers a Biblically-rooted roadmap to talk about climate change in a congregational setting. Originally delivered for the Presbytery of Baltimore. Recorded October 21, 2021.
