A Refuge in a World of Abortion

Every year over 800,000 healthy little babies are killed by doctors in office buildings just around the corner. These babies have no voice and are in desperate need of a refuge if they are going to survive. Alone, afraid, often pressured by a boyfriend or parents many compassionate mothers feel like they have no choice but to end the life of their baby. These mothers need a refuge. They need to know that they are not alone. And for those mothers and fathers who have chosen to have abortions what they soon realize is that their need for a refuge doesn’t go away with the baby, it only grows. Sad, depressed, often overwhelmed with shame these women and men need to know that despite anything they may have done there is one who loves them and offers them the forgiveness that they long for. His mercies are new every morning even on mornings after you have done the unthinkable. In this sermon we will see that there is a compassionate Father who offers to be a refuge for each of the different groups mentioned here as well as for anyone else who finds themselves overwhelmed by the brokenness of this world. We will also find that this Father is able to restore all that our sin has broken, even the things we thought were lost forever.
