MY SERMON ON CLIMATE JUSTICE - TOMORROW IN FITZROY

My friend, best man indeed, David Dark is a Tweeter of prophetic influence. He is a theology provocateur with quick lines that cause hot reaction. Like his books, his Tweets have a sharp critique of the church, culture, society and politics but in only a handful of well chosen words.

He often says, “The are many ways to hate God.”

You see what I mean. Quite incendiary.

I feel that my sermon on Climate Justice deals with ways that we hate God.

I am going to be looking at how exciting it should be to those of us in the Church that the concerns of God are prime centre of the world’s concerns this week.

We will look at Psalm 104 and Colossians 1 to recognise the vital role of creation in God’s order of things and how we might be working against God in how we have been stewarding creation. That’s why David might suggest it is a way we have been hating God.

We will recognise that climate justice is a crucial part of our discipleship. 

We will then look head on at some of the difficult questions that our support of climate change raises and that prayer and marching need followed up by sacrificial living.

In the online service we will have prayers from John Martin who is Head of Policy and Advocacy at RSPB NI and was in Glasgow this past week. 

 

Gathering in Fitzroy at 11am
