Baptismal water, light, and Spirit call us into our vocation as Christians to protect God’s Creation.
Here are ideas for reading and preaching Genesis 1:1-5 and Mark 1:4-11. These texts are assigned as part of the Revised Common Lectionary for the First Sunday after Epiphany, the Baptism of Jesus. This is part of the EcoPreacher 1-2-3 series to equip preachers and congregations for engaging the Bible through an ecological lens.
