In this sermon, I explored how humanity often struggles with selfishness and depletion, yet through Christ’s grace, we are offered renewal and hope. Reflecting on the “Tragedy of the Commons” and examples of environmental restoration, I invited the congregation to see Lent as a time to reclaim our calling as cooperative, grace-filled agents of transformation. By imitating Christ, we can confront despair with active faith, nurturing justice, peace, and restoration in our communities and the world around us.
