    We live in world of compromise where people are letting go of standards, values, and morals to have recognition, position, titles, clout, and prestige. Society has pushed for the lowering of standards with the so-called premise of improving equality, acceptance, and accessibility.

    When we "Contend For The Faith" we need to realize the importance of contending for the fact that we have been created in the image of God. We're not an accident - we have value and a reason to live. But if folks damage that "image" how can they fix that?

    (We started out the sermon with a video from BBC One Videos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auSo1MyWf8g - which displays the wonder of God’s creation accompanied by a poetic reading of the song “What A Wonderful World”) What a wonderful world we live in.
