We've enjoyed unprecedented wealth, conveniences and power over the past 200+ years; blessings of produce, crops, and livestock - all dependent on favorable weather. Nations that suffer prolonged periods of drought, a succession of devastating floods, weather that is unseasonably cool for too long, or widespread disruptive weather events such as hurricanes will suffer in lost agricultural production, and even famine and ruin in extreme cases. In this sermon, pastor Rod Reynolds addresses the question, can anything be done about the weather?
