Speaking Out for the Speechless

In Micah 6:8 we are told to “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God”.  One of the ways that God calls us to do justice is to speak on behalf of the speechless and to help the needy.  Today we will be looking at our obligation to speak out on behalf of the most vulnerable and speechless of all, the unborn.  We will address this topic with grace and sensitivity, but also with urgency.  Wherever you are on this, I would encourage you to listen to this message.

Special Speaker

I want to welcome Rev. Robert McKenzie to our service. Rob has been the pastor of the same area church for over 30 years.  I met him 15 or so years ago at a pastor’s fellowship and am honored to call him a friend. Since he has recently retired, I was eager to invite him to fill the pulpit for me while I was away. I hope you will come out in person to hear him or join here if you can’t. Rob will be preaching from John 7 on accepting the authority of Christ.

We must remember the Command that He gave US, to go and make disciples. Today we take a fresh look at that aspect of God’s plan.
