  2. Welcome To The Services Of The Dunlap church of Christ Questions? Just Let Us Know!

  3. Matthew 7:12 “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.”

  4. Fair & Balanced • Noticed. • Acknowledged. • Not short changed. • Not mistreated.

  5. What about the 78%?

  6. The Truth Is… • No group can elevate the importance and significance of their lives above others. • Why not? Jesus died for all people (Hebrews 2:9).

  7. No Lives Matter

  8. More than the life of the Son of God! • Good men like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, & David had died in centuries past, but it did nothing for removing the sins of mankind (Matthew 17:3-5) • Matthew 22:42-45 “What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?”

  9. “Before Abraham was, I am.” John 8:58 • Hebrews 10:1-4 • People were crucified often by the Romans, but the crucifixion of Jesus not only fulfilled prophecy but brought redemption and reconciliation to mankind. • Matthew 20:28; 26:28

  10. No Lives Matter

  11. Too little that God does not want them to be saved (I Timothy 2:4). • Luke 19:1-5 -Jesus brought salvation to a man who was formerly the scum of society, a scammer, and a sinner because he was not beyond salvation (Luke 19:9-10).

  12. Saul of Tarsus was a Jewish terrorist who hated Christians (Acts 8:1-3; 9:1-2). • Jesus sent him to hear the gospel so he might be saved (Acts 9:4-6). • God looked on the worst sinner in the first century and used him as a spokesman to the Gentile world (I Timothy 1:13-16).

  13. No lives matter too little that God cannot save them or want them to be saved. • Luke 1:37 • II Peter 3:9

  14. No Lives Matter

  15. Here on earth if they are not used to submit to and glorify God (Isaiah 43:7 “I have created him for my glory”). • I Timothy 4:8 “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.” • Failing to serve God makes one’s life ultimately meaningless.

  16. II Thessalonians 1:7-9 • We can make our lives matter only when we decide to surrender them to Jesus in His service. • I Corinthians 15:58

  17. No Lives Matter

  18. More than any other because God shows no favoritism and loves all of His children the same (Acts 10:34-35; Galatians 3:26-28). • Let us follow the example of our heavenly Father (Matthew 5:43-48).

  19. God’s Simple Plan HEAR (Romans 10:17) BELIEVE (John 8:24) REPENT (Luke 13:3) CONFESS (Rom.10:9-10) BAPTIZED (Gal. 3:27) ADDED TO THE CHURCH (Acts 2:41,47)

  20. Are You Wayward? “Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.” (Acts 8:22) “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” (James 5:16)
