The Great Commission, found in Matthew 28:18-20, is God’s mandate for Christians ever since Jesus’ resurrection, to make and baptize disciples, teaching them about God’s character, values, and commands.
Jesus said, "teaching them to obey -everything- that I have commanded you." The Lord indicated, in his teaching, God’s value of and care for all creation, inviting believers to view earth through God’s perspective, and to tend the earth as Christ incarnate.
This is my own theology on science and care for the earth.

Originally delivered on a Sunday at New Hope Chapel, Arnold MD, this talk is in a series for the Gospel of John at our church. I am one of four members on the pulpit teaching team there our church website is https://www.newhopechapel.org/
I always wanted to be on a jury, but the few times I ever made it into the pool, I never got selected. My husband was able to serve a few times, though, and one of the things he was instructed to do was to weigh the evidence put before the jury, then come up with a verdict on just the reasonable testimony of eyewitnesses plus whatever physical evidence was brought in.
This idea of bringing in eyewitnesses and physical evidence is something of the way the apostle John approached his gospel, as well. John was asking his audience to hear testimony, examine evidence, and come to a conclusion about Jesus of Nazareth—is he the Christ, the Son of God? And for those who had put their faith in Jesus, is Jesus able to shepherd you through the trials of life?
So first, we will call in John’s evidence: seven witnesses, seven claims, and seven signs. Then we’ll consider John’s confession that Jesus is God, and we’ll finish with the two responses John presents.
I Consideration: 7 Witness, 7 Claims, 7 Signs
Through eyewitnesses, testimony, and physical evidence, John proves Jesus is the prophesied Messiah and Lord.
II Confession: Jesus is Messiah, God the Son
John, along with the teaching of the apostles, shows Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God
III Conclusion: Yes or No?
Knowing the truth about Jesus requires a response
