Contend against racism

Sep 22, 2024    Pastor Rick Wright

All you have to do is open a major news publisher and you will see headlines with themes of racism. Culture is deeply in need clarity on the way we see other people?  Gen 1:27, says God made man in His own image. Every person you see was created by God to bear his image, and deserves to be treated with decency and respect. This means that all people merit the right to be seen for who they are: image-bearers of God. 


In Esther 3 we find Haman, a man filled with racially charged hatred who is set to annihilate Mordecai, Esther, and all Jews. Satan some 2000 years later is still finding ways to seep these methods in every crevice he can in an effort to divide and destroy. It is of grave importance that we contend to unite and be a light portraying God's truth that the ground is level for every man at the foot of the cross! Remembering Jesus words the greatest command: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and Love your neighbor as yourself.
