In this study, we'll look at the second blessing God gave man as a command - "subdue the earth". The implications of this command should be the basis of the Christian's views on environmental stewardship of the earth's resources. We'll also talk about climate change, the myth of scarcity, and the historicity of the biblical Adam and Eve.
SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:
What are some of the most impressive examples of man exercising dominion over nature that you’re aware of?
What are some things we could do to exercise dominion over nature that we’re not?
How can Christians discern between legitimate environmental concerns and potentially manipulative fear-based narratives about climate change? What role should our faith play in this discernment?
How does the biblical narrative of the end times (as described in Revelation) influence how we should view and respond to long-term environmental predictions and concerns?
Invite group members to share something they went through where the “normal” response would have been overwhelming fear, but they instead experienced the Lord’s peace.
How do you think the peace of God works? Why do some Christians seem to have it in abundance in their crisis, while other Christians don’t?
God's Word will always be proven true. Have you ever been skeptical of or doubted something the Bible says, and then discovered later that it was unquestionably true?
