This is the second sermon in the Creation Series, where Pastor Cristina Beauchemin explores the theme “Born to Be Wild” through Job 39, Psalm 104, and Luke 12. She shows how scripture lifts up the wisdom of creation — from wild animals to lilies of the field — as reminders of God’s sustaining presence and care. In Job, God humbles human pride by pointing to the mystery of animals; in the psalm, God’s provision nourishes all creatures; and in Luke, Jesus teaches that worry accomplishes nothing while trust in God brings peace.

Pastor Cristina connects these readings to the call for environmental stewardship today. She challenges the congregation to see creation not as something to be dominated but as a gift to be nurtured. Animals model trust in the ecosystems God designed, while humans often disrupt that balance. She urges the community to embody the reign of God by practicing justice, equality, peace, and love — not only with one another but with the whole created world. As part of the series, she gives practical “homework”: spending time each day researching ways to better care for creation. This sermon affirms that living faithfully means sustaining God’s world for all creatures who call it home.
