Sometimes, it can be hard to care much about the world we live in. Disasters, wars, crime, and environmental degradation can make us feel like giving up and simply living for ourselves. Yet, God loves this world and calls us to love it too. So how can we love it without being discouraged by its problems? This sermon argues that the world is destined for renewal, when the things we cannot change will be changed by God. This gives us hope to do our part, even when it may seem small.

Scripture reference: Revelation 21:1-6
