Racism in America Today

Pastors Lance and Stan discuss racism through the lens of God's Word in the context of our culture today. They point out the importance of walking in Christ alongside close friends when our roots are in the family of God. Pastor Lance and Pastor Stan challenge the church with several questions. Do you allow the Lord to surround you with people who are different from you, and if so, how do you love those people through difficult times? Where have you placed your identity? How do you find unity in the body of Christ at a time when the enemy is effectively dividing the church? The pastors walk through the history of the US in regards to slavery and the devastating aftereffects, how generations previous have dealt with racism, how the current political climate has facilitated the same issues, and how believers can embrace diversity. Pastor Stan speaks to the topic of Black Lives Matter, and how they have focused on a movement and missed the message. He urges Christians to live in the power of the blood of Christ in a troubled world, amidst turmoil, loving the people that God has called us to live alongside. Reach out to others around you, and don't be afraid to have these difficult conversations.
