Created with Dignity: Race in the Image of God

Passage: Genesis 11:1-9; Ephesians 2:11-22

We live in an increasingly multi-ethnic and multicultural society. Many of us have neighbors, coworkers, classmates, friends and some even family members of different ethnicities. Such diversity brings with it many blessings and opportunities to reflect the image of God and his redemptive purposes. But it also exposes the brokenness of our pride and sin as we face the various racial tensions and division in our hearts as well as in our communities. Racial division and strife has existed since the fall, and all of man's attempts to remedy it have failed. That's because the issue runs deeper than just appreciating and accepting our differences. It comes in understanding and embracing God's purpose in creating from one man, many nations, and through one man, uniting many nations, as one people. Join us Sunday as we continue in our series and consider the issue of race in the image of God.
