Sanctity of Human Life

The third Sunday of January is National Sanctity of Human Life Day. This day is used to bring awareness to the value God places on human life as we are created in His image. All people have infinite value before God, regardless of age, race, or mental capacity, which includes the unborn. In honor of Sanctity of Human Life Day, guest speaker Savannah Marten will share how we can help create a world where every life is valued. Savannah is the Executive Director of Bella Vita Network, which encompasses the on-campus ministry Soul Purpose, The Pregnancy Center of Greater Toledo, and The Haven, an after-abortion care facility.

1. Read Ezekial 16:20-21 — At BAC90 a couple of weeks ago, Pastor Ryan addressed abortion. He described it as a self-serving act. How is it self-serving? (For further discussion, read all of Ezekial 16.)

2. Which young people in your life are walking away from God and which are walking towards him?

       a. What factors do you see influencing them?

       b. How can you be a living epistle to them?

3. Read 2 Chronicles 33:1-16 — Savannah described their ministry, The Haven, as a place for second chances. When has God extended a second chance to you?

       a. What are some of the “worst “sins recorded in the Bible?

       b. Is there any sin God does not forgive when someone is repentant?

4. Savannah described our mission on earth as “take your child to work day.” Had you ever thought of it that way?

5. Read Colossians 1:28-29 —When you are compelled to share the gospel with someone, how do you approach it?

6. What Bible reading plan have you made for this month or year?

7. Who have you invested in that you hope to see in Heaven with you?
