Text: Philippians 4:6-9On this Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, we need to be reminded of the tremendous value that Jesus places on both children and adults. Jesus not only serves as our example, He also gives us a mandate to treat everyone with the same dignity and worth that He does. The preborn matter to God – and so do you!

Text: Matthew 18:21-35In this story of the woman caught in adultery, we see that Jesus bestows His amazing grace in the midst of the judgment of others.
