You Don't Need A Bible To Know Abortion Is Wrong. Sanctity of Human Life Sunday 2017

In broader culture, opposition to abortion is often spoken of as purely a religious view.  But is this accurate? As Christians, if we oppose abortion are we expecting unbelievers to follow Christian religious rules? Is this like Catholic rules on birth control or Jehovah's Witness beliefs about blood transfusions?  In this message we look at the idea that the Law is written on the heart. From this we can see a number of reasons why it is obvious that abortion is wrong. There are numerous secular reasons for the pro-life position and this message summarizes these and explores some implications.

Deacon Ordination Sermon

What are deacons? How do they relate to the purpose of the church? How do we face the obstacles and temptations to be diverted from the mission?

Acts 6:1-11

"Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. 2 And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, β€œIt is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. 3 Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. 4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. 6 These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them. 

7 And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.
