Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost 2018, Year B

Season of Creation — HARVEST SUNDAY: Trees and Fruits

This week preaches itself. Psalm 1 is a key creation-care text. It brings us back to the beginning in the Garden of Eden, and it points us to the end with a new heaven and earth. It reminds us yet again what this book we call the Bible is all about — life and our journey toward righteousness. Creation always points us in that direction. We just need to be aware of our surroundings.
