Guest Speaker Dr. Todd Gray, Executive Director of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, brings this Sanctity of Human Life Sunday message and gives us seven statements the Bible reveals of how we are called to value human life biblically.

If we want to walk closely with the Lord, we cannot do that apart from abiding in his word. In fact, abiding in his word is the catalyst for spiritual health in nearly every aspect of our lives. Jeremiah 2; 2 Kings 22

As we look at a famed vision given to the prophet Ezekiel amid some of Israel's darkest days, we will see God's promise to bring new life and hope into their situation and to all of us who are his. Ezekiel 37:1-14.
