Life is a Gift from God
Name It
In one word, name something you are grateful/thankful to God for.
Where were you when this happened?
3,000 Lives Taken
20,000 9/11 attacks = over 60 million lives taken
That is how many babies have been murdered
in America since 1973
when Roe vs Wade was signed into law.
Our culture may not value life but
God places a HIGH value on life.
Let's Pray
- Lord, please deepen our burden for human life
- Show us how/what we can do to protect and preserve life
Exodus 1:16-17
Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other was named Puah; and he said, “When you are helping the Hebrew women to give birth and see them upon the birthstool, if it is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.” But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them, but let the boys live.

Let's Discuss
What are some ways our culture devalues life?
What might it cost US to stand up for those who can't protect themselves?
Next: Not only does the fear of God lead us to respect all human life,
but we should do what we can to protect them.
Exodus 1:22-2:3
(Pharaoh's new Strategy)
Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Every son who is born you are to cast into the Nile, and every daughter you are to keep alive.” Now a man from the house of Levi went and married a daughter of Levi. The woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was beautiful, she hid him for three months. But when she could hide him no longer, she got him a wicker basket and covered it over with tar and pitch. Then she put the child into it and set it among the reeds by the bank of the Nile.

Exodus 2:4-9
His sister stood at a distance to find out what would happen to him.
The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the Nile, with her maidens walking alongside the Nile; and she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid, and she brought it to her. When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the boy was crying. And she had pity on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for you?” Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go ahead.” So the girl went and called the child’s mother. Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
