United In Christ 5: Race + The Church

WEEKLY: Race has been a consistent division in the church. It is said that Sunday morning is the “most segregated time of the week.“ How do we find ways to unite in the area of ethnicity and cross-cultural engagement?

READ: Galations 2:11-21

LISTEN: This week’s worship set!

REFLECT:

  1. What does God’s word say, through the story of Paul confronting Peter, about race and unity (Galations 2:11-21)?

  2. What are ways you can continue to become united with those of different ethnicities than you?

  3. What engagements have you made to understand the history of race in the American Culture?

  4. If you have little understanding in this area, what is stopping you? If you have, what are your thoughts on the subject? How does it shape ethnic relationships today?

** While we may not agree with everything these authors say, diversity in perspectives is beneficial to growth, and we encourage an open and Spirit discerning posture while studying the Scripture and while reviewing any resource. **
