- 00:06
- Oh, come behold the works of God, the nations at his feet.
- 00:13
- Father, our aim here is to end abortion. That's why we stand out here.
- 00:19
- And Father, we don't trust in the arm of the flesh, but our trust is in the power of the gospel.
- 00:25
- Our trust is in a sovereign God who rules and reigns over all things and can do all things.
- 00:36
- You are a God that takes ground for Christ's sake. And we ask that our efforts here will be of that very means.
- 00:46
- We love you and we thank you in Christ's name. Amen. He has called us to do this, to rescue those that are being led to the slaughter.
- 00:59
- Rescue those that are being led to the slaughter. When we think of abortion, abortion is not merely a political problem.
- 01:10
- Abortion is not even just ideological differences between one person and another.
- 01:16
- Abortion is a matter of life and death. The reason why we know
- 01:29
- Planned Parenthood and abortion will be no more is because the Bible says Jesus wins. Amen. Lives were changed because the church showed up and did what
- 01:48
- God told them to do. Father God, anything that's contributing towards this, wicked practice,
- 02:19
- Lord. We pray against those things. Our prayer, our desire with Love Life is to normalize the presence of the church outside of the darkest places in our city.
- 02:36
- And the only places we know exactly where and when babies are scheduled to be killed.
- 02:41
- So that's where we are right now. And this is what we want to see normalized throughout the nation.
- 02:55
- Paul goes on as he's writing to Titus and he says this. Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great
- 03:03
- God and Savior Jesus Christ. The Christian stands in a place recognizing something. This is not our home.
- 03:10
- This is not where we're going to rest. We are looking forward to that blessed hope when
- 03:15
- Jesus Christ comes back. And as Pastor Chris and Pastor Mike had already mentioned, we want his kingdom to come here.
- 03:23
- His kingdom to come will be done as we look forward to the Lord Jesus Christ.
- 03:34
- It means as we're being hated, we ought to approach men with gentleness and respect.
- 03:42
- As we are doing about our good deeds, we need to be careful. We need to be careful that we don't deny the very truth that we're talking about.
- 03:51
- We need to be careful that we are not showing forth a spirit of hatred, but of brokenness and compassion and a motivation that's driven by the love of God and the love of our neighbor.
- 04:03
- That we, our hearts break recognizing that there are human beings being slaughtered in this building and all around this country.
- 04:11
- And so what are we doing? We're moved with compassion. Level of development, environment, and the degree of dependency do not disqualify the fetus from being a person.
