Summary

Want to join our 4-week Zoom Bible Study, "Are we living in the end times?" https://info.thecrossingchurch.com/zoom-online-bible-studies (Sign-up today). We start Friday April 3 from 12:00-12:30 with a 15-minute Q&A afterward. "We have narrowed salvation to focus only on our souls or only on individuals. And we have missed what God is doing on a cosmic level, what God is doing on a bigger level." When we think about salvation, we probably think about our souls, but it's way bigger than that. God cares about all of his creation, which includes animals and nature. We are called to be stewards of the earth and caretakers of the land. Most of us care about the environment, but we might not realize how important it is. Learn how we're supposed to care for the earth fromhttps://www.westmont.edu/people/sandra-richter-phd ( )https://www.westmont.edu/people/sandra-richter-phd (Dr. Sandra Richter), author ofhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4500735-the-epic-of-eden ( )https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4500735-the-epic-of-eden (The Epic of Eden) andhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50143309-stewards-of-eden ( )https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50143309-stewards-of-eden (Stewards of Eden), as she joinshttps://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ ( )https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) andhttps://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ ( )https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) to discuss how creation fits in with the Kingdom of God.
