Often one may run across an unknown minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ preaching from the pulpit of his church and say, “Wow! I can’t hear this message and move on without sharing it.”
Here he goes deep in his delivering a message on Sanctity of Life Sunday. A yearly message for which he has a passion.
It is not that he is the Senior Pastor of church and happens to be my brother-in-law that I post this. But his quiet warmth and intensity of the subject and his love for our Lord radiate through his delivery is more than ample reason.
Sermon: “In His Image”
Genesis 1:26-28
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Well said Jon. Thanks G.W.
He understands how serious God is about the principles of life, living and commitment to helping others live both now and eternally.

So true, Gary. Jon truly loves God, all things God cares about, and all God’s people first but all people generally. Plus, I know how intense he is in sermon prep.

Oh my GW so very good. Thank you for sharing!! After his closing prayer, I was reflecting on all he had said and found myself thinking of Paul’s closing words in 1st Timothy- “guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge.” (1Tim 6:20)

I’m so glad you liked it, Beth. Jon’s messages are often softly forthright and good reminders of “how then shall we live.” Such things that help remind me.
