Integrating gratitude and praise and rest and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform our minds into seeing the entire creation—not just humans—as God-given, is essential to our spiritual practice. The earth is not our possession; rather we are its priestly caretakers. It’s our spiritual and sacred responsibility to steward and tend the creation, which is crucial to our having continued life on our planet. Pastor Emily Swan finishes our Sabbath sermon series in week 5 with, “Savoring Life: Animals and Land.” Learn more about Blue Ocean Faith, including service times and locations, at a2blue.org.
