Great Sermon! The only way that the Church should effect Social Justice (including Racial Injustice) in the world is to proclaim true Social Justice (the Gospel) to the world (Luke 4:18) and model it from within (John 13:35). Again, we must model and not participate nor partnership with the world (1 Corinthians 5:7 - 6:11). We (and only we) are the salt and light of the world. If we model it correctly then the world will taste (through our salt) and see (with our light) the LORD is indeed is good and His ways are right. And maybe they will see that the only way to achieve the justice and righteous they crave is to become a member of the Body through faith in Christ Jesus. They should know that the world is batting zero when it comes to Social Justice. Zero! The world offers no real solutions except for enslavement by totalitarian regimes like communist socialist which is a corruption of the Body's koinonia. Koinonia only works in the Body. Must we in the Body recognize people according to the flesh when we are told not to?

Great Sermon! I applaud you and your staff for having a candid conversation about Racism, especially within the Body of Christ. Believe me, I am Black (according to the flesh) and I have heard and participated in many conversations and forums over the years (especially in 2020) concerning Racism and the GREAT news is that every saint agrees that Racism is a sin. That universal agreement within Body pleases the Father. The problem is working it OUT (i.e. casting out the leaven of Racism) of the Body.
We must recognize that Racism is not a new problem within the Body. It is the FIRST problem in the Body that the young Church had to deal with in Acts 6. The solution came from within the Body which eventually led to the Gospel being preached to us Gentiles. This led to what I call the ideal congregation: the Church in Antioch. She had both Gentiles and Jews but an international cast of leadership. What happened? Instead of the Church in Fayetteville or the Church in Asheville we have multiple churches in every community. There would be no widespread Racism if all the churches lay aside their independencies and mostly minor theological differences and become one Body (the Church in Fayetteville). Many local congregations, one Body with a core group of leaders. Ministry of Reconciliation is ours.
