Some thoughts to take things further:
God cultivated life on earth. What does that look like if we’re made in His image and likeness?
God commanded creation to ‘be fruitful and multiply’ even before calling humanity to do the same thing. What might the implications of this be? (Genesis 1:20-22)
In Genesis God seems to create vegetation for both humanity and the animals to enjoy. Though we’re limited to a vegetarian diet, how might the fact that God has created a common source of food for us all impact the way we distribute and consume food?
To have ‘dominion over’ creation, is not the same thing as dominating over creation. If Jesus is our model of life and leadership, how ought humanity interact with creation?
The church has been behind the curve on the environmental issue for a long time, why is this?
What’s stopped you from becoming more environmentally conscious and responsive in the past?
How might the similarities and differences be between a follower of Jesus and an environmentalist?
Shalom means peace in the fullest sense. Peace with God, with one another, and with all creation. What changes can you make in your own lifestyle, home, church, school, workplace to better reflect God’s heart towards creation?
Jesus came to redeem all things. Repairing and restoring creation is a key part of the mandate of the church. What would it look like if the church really embraced this?
