  • Color Blessed
    Jun 23 2024

    What does God say about race? Should we see everyone as humans and not worry about the color of their skin? Not exactly! In fact, the Bible is bursting with mentions of ethnicity and healing divides. It is a big deal to God! In this 3-part series, based on the book How to Heal Our Racial Divide, we will explore how racial diversity is a part of Jesus’ prayer that we would experience heaven, now. Because as Derwin Gray says, “We are color-blessed, not color-blind.”


    The Bible didn’t fall from the sky. It was written in space and time. So, that means culture and ethnicities play a role. In fact, bridging the ethnic divide is a major theme throughout God’s plan.
