Recreate Church, Pastor Michael Shockley—Service, Sunday, February 6, 2022

Sanctity of Life Sunday.

Our service starts off today with Luci Boudreaux giving a moving testimony to the unborn and her experience as a young lady living that.  It is a wonderful second version of our most popular podcast ever but here is only an introduction to Michael’s study on the sanctity of life.  In the days of the Roman Empire the Romans had a word, “Expositus” meaning exposure, where it was culturally acceptable for children to be left outside to die.  Even though this was 2,000 years ago, children are still sold into slavery and human trafficking in 2022.

We have to realize, we are created in the image of God and every human life is the handiwork of God.  It would be better to destroy human artwork than disrespect human life….which is God’s artwork!

There is a debate on when life begins.  From a biblical perspective, God counts us as people BEFORE conception!  You were conceived by God because God knew us before we were ever conceived. 

Life is precious; it should be honored and protected and we know that we are loved by a God that created us in his image.

Today’s verses can be found at Genesis 1: 26-27, Psalms 139: 13-16 and Jeremiah 1: 4-7.
