Caring for God’s Creation (August 31, 2025)

We wrap up our series The Call to Care with the broadest call of all—caring for God’s creation. This week, Pastor Magrey deVega explores how Scripture challenges the idea of “dominion” as domination, and instead reveals our true role as stewards of the earth. What if creation isn’t ours to control, but God’s gift to protect and learn from? Every small act of care matters, and together, we can reflect God’s beauty through the way we treat the world around us.

Reflection Questions:
1. In what way does creation and nature teach you about God?
2. How does creation help you remember that you are not helpless or alone?
3. What steps will you take to care for creation?
