In Acts 15, Paul and Barnabus have returned from their first missionary journey only to be confronted by "certain ones of the sect" (Acts 15.5) who do not think Paul and Barnabus have any business sharing the gospel with the gentiles.
Although the matter in Paul's day was of gentiles being able to coexist with Jewish men and women as brethren, today a racial divide continues, but it is between black and white where the greatest example of segregation in North America is church on a Sunday morning.
Last week we did part one of this three part session geared toward breaking down the racial wall of partition in today's church. Last week we introduced the concept of Critical Race Theory and its impact on racial division in the body of believers. This message gives a Biblical response to Critical Race Theory centered around the need for reconciliation that the Apostle Paul stresses in Ephesians and 2 Corinthians in particular.
Much of the material I used in this series finds its roots in a series of messages Pastor Tony Evans in Dallas did called, Kingdom Race Theology.
With all the talk out there today about racial tension in America, it is important we know the truth about where God stands on racial reconciliation. Hopefully, these are lessons you will want to share with your friends, both black and white, about how we overcome divisions by becoming one body in Jesus, the Messiah.
