Choose Life!

Speaker: Rev. Raleigh Sims


Scripture Focus: Luke 14:25–35


Service Summary: The first issue that naturally
comes to mind to many Christians when hearing the phrase “Choose
life!” is that of abortion, which chooses death, not life. And
indeed, never should our witness to God’s gift of life be
silenced! Beyond that, however, are all the other choices we make
in our struggles between God’s good and gracious will for all and
the universal disability of sin that constantly attempts to lead
us away from God and His call to life. Today, God’s Word gives us
the assurance that because our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has
chosen to take our suffering and death into Himself by His cross,
all who are baptized into His saving death are given the power of
faith to love God and pursue His ways of life according to His
good and gracious Law and Gospel. Blessed is the man whose
“delight is in the law of the Lord” (Psalm 1:2).
