October 27, 2025 – Life is Valuable at Every Age and Stage

Sermon: 2387 Why I Am Pro-Life

Pray Over This

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Isaiah 5:20

Ponder This

When does life begin? Let’s consider not only an argument from the Bible but an argument from science. The nucleus of a human cell is composed of forty-six chromosomes, twenty-three are furnished by the father and twenty-three are furnished by the mother. Do you know what the word fetus means? It is a Latin word for child. To say “fetus” is to say “child” in Latin. No matter how small, it is a child. We are all in a continual process. Each age is only a part of it.

If I, an adult man, stand before you, you have no doubt that he is human. He has a life that is valuable to God. The same is true for every stage of life. It is a human being you see on the ultrasound and then wrapped in a swaddle after birth. Then he is a little helpless, babe. And then he becomes a toddler. And then he becomes a child who can run and play. And then he becomes a teen. And then he comes into his twenties, and thirties, and forties, and fifties, and sixties, and seventies, and eighties, and nineties. It’s a continuum. Just because he is little and young and you are old has nothing to do with it. We are called to value life at every stage. Young or old, rich or poor, like us or different from us, we value life. No matter the stage of life, from beginning to end, we need the love of Christ.
