Write an Evangelical Christian sermon on a theme of addressing longstanding issues like infrastructure, climate change, public transit, affordable childcare, etc. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, The Bible teaches us that we are stewards of God's creation. In Genesis 1:28, God commands us to have dominion over the earth, but this dominion is not about exploitation; it is about responsible stewardship.
