Founded Upon The Bible - General Preaching
from Emmanuel Baptist Church of Jacksonville - Sermons · host Chad Hayes
When the framers of the Declaration of Independence penned the timeless words that "all men are created equal" and "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights," they weren't merely inventing a new political philosophy—they were echoing ancient, eternal truths woven directly into the fabric of Scripture. In this powerful message, "Founded Upon The Bible," we will explore the profound intersection between the foundational principles of America's birth and the unchanging Word of God. Through the lens of Acts 17:26, we will confront the reality that because God made all nations from "one blood," any form of racism, prejudice, or bigotry is not just a social issue—it is a direct assault on God’s image, His design, and His holy character. Join us as we trace the biblical roots of true liberty, examining what Scripture teaches about: The Origin of Our Rights: Why human rights come from the Creator, not the government (Genesis 1:27, Psalm 100:3). The Role of Government: God’s design for authorities to promote good and punish evil (Romans 13:3-4). The Condemnation of Tyranny: How God views oppressive rulers and demands justice (Proverbs 29:2, Ecclesiastes 5:8, Micah 6:8). True Equality: Recognizing our ultimate accountability and equal standing before a holy God (Galatians 3:28, Psalm 82:1). Ultimately, nations rise and fall, and human leaders are mere stewards of time. This sermon is a clarion call to shift our ultimate reliance away from political systems and place our trust firmly where it belongs: in the Lord alone (Proverbs 3:5-6). Discover how the Bible provides the ultimate blueprint for justice, equality, and lasting freedom.
