Series: Flourishing: The Way Things Are Meant to Be

Pastor Brandon Cash continues and complete our series, Flourishing: The Way Things Are Meant To Be" by looking at how God plays a role in our environment by looking at three views. The Biocentric View tells us the environment should be protected and has value because God created all things and created us, the animals, and insects as Paul talks about them in Genesis 1:31 and Romans 1:19-25. The Anthropocentric View tells us that the environment has no inherent value and its only value comes from its usefulness for human beings as shown in Leviticus 26:34-35 and 2 Chronicles 36:20-21.
