Why Matter Matters - Stewardship of Creation and Care of God's Earth

Matter matters. Matter matters to God. Unfortunately, Christians and humans sometimes act as if matter doesn't matter, as if the soul and spirit are more important than the physical creation, including this planet and our own bodies. All three members of the Holy Trinity are involved in creation and delighted in it. God seeks to redeem not just sinful people, but a sin-scarred cosmos. Since matter really matters, how should we then live? This sermon seeks to present why matter matters and how we as God's people can respond by stewarding and caring for creation. This sermon is designed to be used with the bible study found at this link and the Prezi zooming visuals found at this link. This  sermon is number four in a four-part series on stewardship covering:

• Finances and material possessions
• Time
• Talents and Spiritual Gifts
• Creation - Care of God's earth

The sermon was preached on Sunday August 5, 2012, at St John's Lutheran Church Southgate. Enjoy!
