Created Equal

Oct 5, 2025    Pastor Chris Eshleman

In this powerful message, we're challenged to reflect on the profound biblical principle that all people are created equal in God's image. Drawing from Genesis 1 and Leviticus 19, we're reminded of our shared responsibility to judge righteously and love our neighbors as ourselves. This foundational truth, which inspired America's founding fathers, calls us to reject partiality and uphold justice in all our dealings. As we explore the concept of righteous leadership through the lens of biblical shepherds and kings, we're confronted with the stark contrast between self-serving rulers and those who truly care for their flock. This message invites us to examine our own hearts and actions, urging us to embrace the model of servant leadership exemplified by Jesus Christ, the ultimate Good Shepherd. How might our lives and communities change if we truly lived out this biblical understanding of equality and justice?
