Abortion – What Does the Bible Teach?

Abortion – What Does the Bible Teach?

On Sunday, July 12, 2026, Cole Tuck presented a biblical sermon titled “Abortion,” examining the subject through the authority of Scripture rather than public opinion or cultural trends. Beginning with Proverbs 31:8, the lesson challenged Christians to “speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,” emphasizing the believer’s responsibility to defend innocent human life.

Throughout the sermon, Scripture was used to demonstrate that God values human life from the womb. Passages from Psalms, Jeremiah, Job, Luke, Exodus, and other books were presented to argue that unborn children are created in the image of God, known by Him before birth, and deserving of dignity and protection. The lesson also addressed several common objections surrounding abortion from a biblical perspective, encouraging Christians to respond with truth, conviction, and compassion while remaining faithful to God’s Word.

Rather than approaching the topic politically, the sermon focused on the sanctity of life, God’s sovereignty as Creator, and the Christian’s responsibility to uphold biblical truth even when it is unpopular. Listeners were reminded that every human life is precious to God and that followers of Christ are called to reflect His justice, mercy, and love.
