The Gospel & Race

Dave Lomas teaches from Galatians 3:26-28 and 1 Corinthians 12:12-20 on the centrality of racial and ethnic harmony in the church, and ways we can personally and communally disrupt racism as followers of Jesus. (At the end of the slides, we’ve included the communal lament which our community participated in following the teaching. As part of your response to this teaching, we encourage you to read through this prayer and to respond to each line with “Lord, have mercy.“)

Bryan Loritts teaches from Ephesians 2 on the direct relationship between the Gospel and the tearing down of racial barriers, leading to a new, unified people in Christ. Bryan is the Pastor of Abundant Life Christian Fellowship in Mountain View.

Dave Lomas introduces a new series, defining race and ethnicity and naming the walls of division that, through the power of the Gospel, we hope to tear down.
