Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

In this sermon, Pastor Robert addresses one of the most morally contentious issues of our time with both biblical clarity and pastoral compassion. This message examines what Scripture teaches about the sanctity of human life while acknowledging the real pain, fear, and difficult circumstances that surround unplanned pregnancies.

What This Message Covers:
This sermon explores the staggering scope of abortion worldwide, with an estimated 1.5 to 2 billion pregnancies terminated since 1970, making this one of the most significant moral issues in human history. Pastor Robert presents sobering statistics showing that approximately 1 in 4 women in the United States will have an abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute, with around 65 million abortions in the US alone since 1970. Beyond statistics, this message addresses the aftermath of abortion, discussing research showing that 20-40% of women experience emotional and mental stress following the procedure, with 10-20% reporting more serious struggles including depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma-related symptoms.

Bridging the Divide:
This sermon honestly addresses why people stand on opposite sides of this issue. Pastor Robert explains the perspective of those who advocate for the unborn, seeing vulnerable human lives that cannot speak for themselves, while also acknowledging the viewpoint of those who see overwhelmed young women facing disrupted plans, financial strain, fear, and abandonment. He challenges both extremes and calls for truth spoken with compassion.

The Church's Responsibility:
A central theme is that the church must be more than just a voice for the unborn—it must be a refuge for women in crisis. Drawing from James 1:27 and Galatians 6:2, Pastor Robert emphasizes that moral truth must be tied to tangible care, including practical help, financial assistance, long-term discipleship, and patient support that doesn't disappear after a baby is born.

This message is for anyone wrestling with this issue—whether you're seeking biblical clarity, looking for hope after a past abortion, trying to understand both sides of the debate, or asking how the church should respond with both truth and love.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
