We have all watched as the world has been in unrest. Divided by the colour of skin, divided by injustice, divided by fear. Perhaps nothing characterized the life of Jesus more than his pursuit of people whose lives and lifestyles did not look like his. If we fail to listen to people who don't experience the world the way we do, we will never bear their burden, we will never truly love them. What answers do we have for this world in Christ? Are we living from these answers?
Prayer: Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal himself to you personally as you worship Him and to teach you about what He wants you to do about entering into relationships with others who aren't like you, others whom you might fear, or with whom you might disagree.

Message: This Human Race This is more than an a message on social issues of our day, this is a message on how we as believers are to truly enter into each others lives. Letting go of the fear and the pride that so often hurt us, and embracing Christ's humility in a way that would lead us to be difference makers in our world, that so desperately needs to see something different.
