Kingdom Over Race

In a world filled with noisy, divisive opinions about race and culture, it’s easy to forget where our true allegiance lies. Today, I want to talk about putting the kingdom of God over race.

The kingdom of God does not erase our earthly distinctions, but it dethrones them. When we place Christ above every category, gender, race, or background, He becomes the lens through which we view everything else. Join me as we look at what scripture says in 2 Corinthians 5 and Galatians 3 about becoming new creations in Him.

Questions for personal reflection or discussion:

What does it mean for the kingdom of God to dethrone earthly distinctions without erasing them?

How does defining our identity in Christ first change the way we interact with people from different backgrounds or ethnic groups?

Reconciliation begins vertically with God before it happens horizontally with each other. How does receiving God's forgiveness enable us to seek unity in our daily lives?

In what ways can we ensure the Gospel remains our primary lens rather than letting race or culture dictate our faith?
