God’s Acre on the Go: Awesome Responsibility

On the Sunday before Thanksgiving, Chapin explores the ancient words of Psalm 8, a song of awe and wonder that celebrates both God’s majesty and our astonishing role in the universe. From the stars overhead to the fragile cry of an infant, the psalm reminds us that though we are small, we are deeply loved and entrusted with great responsibility.

With stories from the Pilgrims’ first Thanksgiving and personal reflections on what it means to be trusted with something precious, this sermon lifts up gratitude as a powerful response to suffering and a faithful beginning to stewardship. Drawing also on 1 Corinthians 15 and Hebrews 2, Chapin invites us to see Jesus not only as the fulfillment of the psalm but as our pathway to fulfilling our divine calling.

Listen in for a message that calls us to reverence, thanksgiving, and renewed commitment to the care of creation and one another.
