Humans are divided over many issues, but all humanity rallies around this one idea - they desire to be treated with dignity. Why is that? Today we recognize three different issues that are seemingly unrelated but from a biblical worldview are very much connected to the same stream of the fallen human condition. All humanity is created in the image of God.

Why your life is valuable to God

Abortion is one of the most diabolical inventions ever devised by the mind and hand of humankind. Many say, "I know there is life in the womb. I know it's a baby. But I don't care." How in the world can one say such a thing? There is a concept that is very popular in our world today, that has taken us all by storm. Because of this 2 word phrase, over 56 million reported abortions were performed---in 2018 alone. What is this concept that is evil at its core? I challenge you to give a listen as the Grace United crew attempts to wrestle with this issue in our Sanctity of Human Life Sunday message.

The prophet Amos said to his wayward people back in the day, "Let justice roll down like water, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." Justice is a huge deal today--in all of its forms: racial, social, economic, even reproductive justice. The national discussion and the ramifications in our culture take up many minutes on all things media. But is the justice promoted today the kind of thing the Lord would approve of? Certainly, justice is his idea. But has it gone too far? Is God pleased? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover what the Lord means and how he desires to apply justice, both in Moses' day and in ours.

Is human life sacred? The "book" answer is yes, of course. If human life is sacred, what about the "environment" called a mother's womb? What or who is in there? In this 2021 rendition of Sanctity of Life Sunday, Grace United Family Church offers a challenge: give a listen to this message. Of course, the issues surrounding abortion and even infanticide are legion. If nothing else, may this message stir your thinking and feeling about issues of life in our culture.

What was the sin of Sodom? What does its destruction by the Lord tell us about Him, and about the people of Sodom? Is there grace and mercy to be found in this horrific story, which is just as true as the story of God's love found in Jesus? Join the Grace United Crew as we recount this part of God's grand story of His judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah.

What is wisdom? Is it Common Sense? Or is it "Knowing yourself" and the ways of the world? Or is it something else entirely? In this edition of the Corinthian Correspondence, the Apostle Paul is going to lay out an almost uspeakable, glorious, divine wisdom--and it involves mere human beings--literally for our glory! What is this divine wisdom "for our glory?" Come with the Grace United crew as we discover the wisdom that really is "out of this world."

The Torah of God means "teaching God's ways to God's people." Torah is a Hebrew word translated as "law." "Law" often conjures up a hard and fast set of rules that, furthermore must be kept perfectly or God is not pleased. For all who believe this, there is some good news! Torah is all about life. Torah is all about family. Torah is all about the proper understanding of true authority. Come with the Grace United crew as we bask in the wonders of Torah as it applies to the most fundamental elements in our lives.

The meme is "Law bad, Grace good." We tend to think that the Lord's primary purpose for giving us the Law is to show us that we need a Savior. While it is true that the Law is like a mirror, pointing out our sin, it is far and away more precious and valuable than a mere set of rules. Rather, Commandments 6-9 highlight the inherent dignity the Lord has given to his people. How so? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover anew and afresh how the Torah reveals our dignity.

Pastor Jeff Rollison looks to 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and other Scripture as the "What Does the Bible Say ...?" teaching series takes on the subject of abortion.
