Join us for a special message about the sanctity of life.

Kristi Brown is the Executive Director of Ascend Women's Center in Asheville and Waynesville, NC. She joins Pastor Eric Williamson in a discussion on the sanctity of life.

Thanks for lending us your ears and your heart today. This is part 3 of our 4 part series on the Sanctity of Life. This installment turns our attention to a document that has shaped the modern Pro-Life movement in profound and lasting ways. Humanae Vitae, its prophetic insights into human love, the dignity of the family, and the moral vision of the church continues to guide countless individuals and ministries committed to protecting LIFE. If you are not familiar with Humanae Vitae (Latin for "Of Human Life") we hope our discussion will encourage you to read it yourself to better understand why the Catholic Church sees it as an important teaching on defending LIFE and supporting Mother's in need.

Sanctity of Life Day is a reminder that human life is not accidental or ordinary—it is created, intentional, and sacred. This devotional centers on the biblical truth that people have value because they are made in God’s image. Our worth isn’t earned by performance, productivity, age, ability, or circumstance. It’s given by the Creator who formed us, knows us, and calls us His. The devotional also emphasizes God’s personal involvement in every life. Scripture describes Him as the One who sees us before we’re even fully formed, who writes our days with purpose, and who breathes life into humanity. That means every person carries God-given dignity and is never invisible to Him. From the beginning, God’s hand has been on our lives—shaping, guiding, and appointing good works for us to walk in. Because life is sacred to God, His people are called to value it too. That includes choosing life in our own hearts and decisions, and also standing up for those who are overlooked, vulnerable, or not valued by the world around them. The devotional calls believers to reflect God’s heart by protecting, honoring, and advocating for human dignity—speaking up, showing compassion, and living with conviction that every life is worthy of care and protection. Today is an invitation to gratitude for the gift of life, and a renewed commitment to represent God well—by cherishing life the way He does. Main Takeaways Human life is sacred because every person is made in the image of God. Your life is not accidental—God’s hand and purpose are present from the very beginning. Our worth is rooted in God’s creation and care, not in culture’s standards or achievements. God calls His people to choose life and to value the lives of others. Part of godly character is advocating for those who are vulnerable and not valued by society. Today’s Bible Verse: “What is mankind that You are mindful of them, human beings that You care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of Your hands; You put everything under their feet.” - Psalm 8:4-6 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Strengthen us to value and choose life for ourselves, and stand up for individuals who are not valued in our culture.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

"Abortion is a spiritual warfare disguised as a political or social disagreement." — Addy Reilly In this stirring message, Addy Reilly exposes the spiritual roots of the abortion crisis, revealing it not as a political debate, but as a direct attack on the Imago Dei. From the "demonic parody" of the Eucharist to the modern-day schemes of the Satanic Temple, Reilly challenges the church to step outside its walls, arm itself with the Gospel of Peace, and meet those in shame with the same redemptive love Jesus offered the woman at the well. +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally

Pastor Brian Henderson

This sermon addresses the sanctity of human life by grounding its value in God's design and character. Pastor Blaine teaches that every human life is created in the image of God, giving it inherent worth, dignity, and purpose from conception to natural death. He emphasizes that the issue is not ultimately political or cultural, but theological—how we view God determines how we treat human life. The message calls believers to respond with both truth and compassion: to uphold God's design for life while extending grace, forgiveness, and hope through the gospel. Blaine challenges the church to be a people who protect the vulnerable, care for those who are hurting, and confidently proclaim Christ as the source of redemption, healing, and true life.      

An important message about the sanctity of life with Pastor Dan

Pastor Travis shows us that we should treasure human life because God does.

 ” (James 2:15-17)   Sanctity of Life Sunday         ⁠                  ⁠“Living FaithThe Demonstration (vv. 15-16)  1 Jo. 3:17 17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. Pro. 24:11-12 Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. 12 If you say, “Behold, we did not know this, does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work? The Definition (v. 17) Matt. 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” What do we offer? Justice, hope and help. -        Justice: is the truth about abortion, voting and speaking Christianly (Psa. 82:3-4). -        Hope: reject abortion as the moral wrong (sin) that it is.           -   Help: tangible (foster care, adoption, body & soul care).

Should Christians oppose the execution of murderers because it involves the killing of someone made in the image of God? Today, R.C. Sproul explains that the Bible justifies capital punishment in light of the sanctity of life, not in spite of it.

As part of our Across State Lines emphasis, New England Baptist partnered with the ERLC'S Psalm 139 Project to donate an ultrasound machine to Aspire Now Pregnancy Care Center in Vermont, a pro-choice state. On today's episode, you'll hear from Terry Dorsett, executive director of the Baptist Churches of New England, about the unique challenges facing New England Baptists, particularly when it comes to advocating for pre-born lives. He also discusses how cooperation with other state conventions like Tennessee and Alabama, fellow SBC entities, and local churches makes pro-life ministry possible in a region that is largely abortion permissive.New England Baptists face other ministry obstacles and opportunities as well, including family issues, pornography and gambling. Even with these challenges, there are encouraging signs of growth. According to Lifeway Research, New England is the only region in the SBC that has grown over the past five years. Terry has served in New England since 1994, first as a pastor, then a church planner, a director of missions, and finally a church planting catalyst before becoming the executive director of the Baptist Churches of New England in 2015. Now let's turn to Elizabeth Bristow's conversation with Terry Dorsett. Listen to more episodes of The ERLC Podcast at erlc.com/podcast.

Though the Sixth Commandment plainly forbids murder, Jesus shows its reach is deeper, condemning the anger, abuse, and hatred that devalue people made in the image of God. Yet in Christ there is hope: though we are guilty, his substitutionary death frees and restores us, calling us to love, protect, and honor human life. The post The Sanctity of Life appeared first on Mt. Rose OPC.

Psalm 139Luke 6: 6-11

Psalm 139Luke 6: 6-11

Pastor Ken Biggs | AM Nov 9th, 2025 | Sanctity of Life

How must Israel apply the sixth commandment to their life in the land? Deuteronomy 19:1–22:12 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these seventy-six verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that Israel were to honor God's holiness by treating His image in man as sacred. This devotional presents a comprehensive legal and ethical framework centered on the sanctity of human life, rooted in the Sixth Commandment's prohibition of murder. It establishes systems of justice that distinguish between intentional murder, accidental manslaughter, and just war, emphasizing divine protection for the innocent through cities of refuge, impartial judicial procedures, and the condemnation of false testimony. The text underscores corporate responsibility for bloodshed, illustrated by the ritual of the heifer in a valley of flowing water, and enforces equitable justice through proportional penalties and safeguards against abuse. It also extends the principle of life's value to include care for property, the environment, and vulnerable individuals—such as widows and orphans—while regulating warfare, inheritance, and holiness codes to preserve Israel's distinct identity as a people set apart for God. Ultimately, the law reflects God's holiness and the sacredness of human life, pointing forward to Christ, who alone fully embodies the divine regard for humanity and bears the curse of sin on behalf of His people.

The Sanctity of Life Psalm 139:1-24

Addressing abortion starts with discipleship, not legislation. In this powerful conversation, Roland Warren, President of Care Net and author of The Alternative to Abortion, challenges Christians to move beyond politics and embrace a “pro-abundant life” perspective rooted in John 10:10. Drawing from his own story of an unplanned college pregnancy turned 43-year marriage, Roland reframes abortion as a discipleship issue—calling the Church to support not just life, but lives transformed by the Gospel. He shares practical ways churches can respond with compassion, healing, and hope to those facing pregnancy decisions.Main Topics:From Pro-Life to Pro-Abundant Life – Why saving babies isn't enough without also making disciplesShocking Church Statistics – 54% of abortion seekers identify as ChristiansMinistry, Not Politics – How small groups and churches can become safe, healing placesMary, Joseph & Making Life Disciples – Biblical models for gospel-centered careIf abortion is happening in our churches, what kind of gospel are we really preaching?Make a matching gift donation by June 10!View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Free Grand Design Video Course from DNA: Male and Female in the Image of God

Pastor Paul invites us to see the Ten Commandments not just as a list of rules, but as a call to become people who honor life and reflect God's heart in our relationships. Jesus moves the conversation from behavior to the heart—showing us that contempt, lust, and dehumanization are as destructive to our souls as outward actions. As we remember the value of every person made in God's image, we'll explore how true life is found in giving life, protecting dignity, and choosing love over contempt, even in the most difficult relationships.

Each January, American Christians celebrate Sanctity of Life Day, set aside to commemorate God’s priceless gift of life. Let's pray together for this important day. - Lynette Kittle
