Planting Sunday: Good Beginning

September 2018 Post-Pentecost Worship Planning Series

Fifteenth Sunday After Pentecost 2018, Year B

In thinking about this sermon as the first in the series, consider relationships between God and non-human creation, God and humans, and non-human creation and humans. To understand Scripture, we need to understand God’s relationships. Knowledge comes from having a foundation of knowing God’s word.
