"Live As If" -- Romans 8:22-27 (on living in a time of climate emergency)

Standing in the midst of our climate emergency, this sermon enters the groaning of Romans 8 -- all creation groaning, our groaning, the Spirit praying with us in groans too deep for words.  In our groaning together, we experience a deeper sense of belonging, we hope, and we enter into God's work of world-healing.  We live as if the world we long for is already here -- a world that is healed and whole.
