Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Well, as we draw.

Our series on the sanctity of life here to a close.

I think there's no better way for us to end them to challenge.

Assal, including me.

About how we should respond if we have determined in our hearts, that life in the womb is worthy to be valued as fellow human being wonderfully created by God. if you believe that, And I hope you do.

Then that means that you and I and all of us who hold to that.

Believe in the pro-life worldview.

But as we seen before world use, or only as strong as our actual convictions, right?

Convictions that lead action.

Because if we say that, we believe in something like human dignity, for instance.

But then, when push comes to shove, we live in Acton do things that are contradictory to our claims then.

Do we actually believe what we say?

Do we Certainly not, I don't think that we do if that's our situation.

Show me consistently pro-life.

We must act like it.

Individually.

And also, as a church,

Here's my question for you, are.

We as Christians going to actually serve as salt and light in this Fallen world that we live in?

Are we just going to sit on the sidelines while children are murdered and mothers and fathers are duped into believing the pro-choice worldview brought to us all by the culture of death.

And what is our, what is your actual view of human life of babies of children?

What do you think in your heart of hearts?

I remember listening to a sermon in 2009 when I was in seminary right by my pastor, Ryan Fullerton, at Immanuel Baptist Church, I remember him then challenging our congregation about how our view of Children and Family reveals where our hearts are really at when it comes to protecting The Unborn and loving and promoting the flourishing of Children and Families.

What's our real position is what he was asking us in.

So many words.

He asked, have you ever been simply angry with other people's children or your own children?

And most of us all could relate to that pressing Challenge and Stacy and I for that matter would soon, find out what the late nights and challenges that that were ahead of us.

Cuz soon after the sermon, my first, our first daughter was born and we'd see ourselves how hard parenting would be as she was born later that year.

But most of the congregation you see, followed along with the questioning of our pastor, realizing and admitting that we can all lose our patience at time because of the noise, the neediness for the Mischief that children can often get into.

And the children can cause inconveniences for us at times and frustration, and even angry responses for the best of us.

Then you flip the script on us at that point.

Reminding us of the inner anger in The Sermon.

On the Mount Rose we saw in our series.

The Secret murder that Jesus taught in Matthew 5 and called us all to repent of the ways in which we have treated children, like a nuisance rather than a blessing.

and for the dismissive anger and impatience, which is just so grievously sinful and murderous Even in our hearts And before we reach the castle, stone at others, we must look in the mirror and evaluate how biblical really our world and Life View is when it comes to children.

Jesus says in Luke 18, 16.

He said let the little children come to me.

And do not hinder them for such belongs the kingdom.

Of God.

Jesus, loved.

And lovingly and patiently spent time with children, do you?

Jesus was pro-life, are you?

His worldview actually affected how he lived in the day today.

Does yours.

What does it look like?

Are we encouraging wife for our families and friends and local church and co-workers?

Or do we think children are destruction and a burden?

I hope we're convinced even through this series.

Even more to align our worldview to Value children.

And not just take a pro-life view that says in our minds.

We believe these things to be true alone.

But that we would positively show our love and value of how we think about and treat children and families in that.

What we desire as Christians to be pro-life.

Plays out in the day-to-day of our actual lives.

And I want us to think today, how that actually looks practically This is the point of our sermon today and this leads us to our first point.

And number one, we need to be Defenders of humanity.

Look with me and your Bibles at Philippians chapter 2 and verse for it says this.

Let each of you look not only to his own interests but also to the interests of others.

I don't know about you Church.

But I can be selfish at times.

but when I come to realize it in time, I'll open my eyes and commit to change and repent of my selfish actions or intent.

Jesus, on the other hand.

You see Jesus was never selfish.

He was always looking to the interests of others.

And if we are going to be pro-life and pro-choice Aaron and throw biblical Justice, like our Lord and savior, we're going to have to learn a thing or two from them.

10000 things from him, right?

We need.

That model for us because we cannot be pro-life and only care about our own little corner of the world.

We're our own personal family alone, and needs that.

We have Rather, we have to have a kind of christ-like selflessness looking to the interests of others.

Over even our own comfort and ease is Philippians 2. Just reminded us.

And since we live in a culture that has been so directed down the one-way, Street towards death.

One way, no, other way our culture is pushing.

We must swim against the stream and raging current that we saw from Phillip Jensen last week.

and if we're going to do that, we have to come to grips with what has actually happened over the last 50 years and start acting like, we care about the horror of the wholesale murdering and taking of innocent lives in the Holocaust of abortion.

Is that move you?

We can't just look away at what makes us uncomfortable.

Change the subject and seek to just keep the peace.

Because so many people just happen to be swimming down that same direction of the current and it's just easier to stay quiet and not opposed them and not say anything.

It is.

We can't do that.

Now, I decided in the series not to show any videos or portions of the horde of fake documentaries that I myself have watched in the past month and a half.

But I could have.

And you would have seen the horror of what.

So many people just call a simple easy outpatient.

Surgery to remove a clump of cells.

That is not how it is.

Families are devastated women or devastated, the horrific thing, But just as an anti-nazi movement began to pick up steam, when people actually saw images of the emaciated bodies in the death camps, we must face the reality and be honest about what abortion is in our own hearts and Minds.

Or we're just going to continue on and are a pathetic ways ignoring and abandoning The Unborn.

May it never be.

And remember, as we've been seeing, abortion is the tearing apart, limb by limb of living human beings in the womb.

Or the killing of all these different brocius weighs in the womb living.

That is what it is.

It's hard to hear.

It's uncomfortable to hear, but it's truth.

Grow a perfect to it.

we as Christians alongside other pro-life opponents and proponents, I mean, Because I mentioned before, there are even many non-Christian pro-life Advocates as well even atheists and agnostics who don't even believe in God or submit to the authority of the Bible.

Some of them are pro-life.

Because they follow the science and the embryology.

And I've come to the conclusion that this is a human life issue and a major crisis in our day.
