Racism and bigotry are a normal part of the world. But they shouldn't be a part of the church! It reflects our evil hearts and improper view of ourselves. The church should be an example to the world on how race relations should work!

2. Acts 17:26

every nation of men to dwell on all

3. "It is appalling that the most
segregated hour of Christian
America is 11 o'clock on Sunday
morning…," ~ Martin Luther King

4. We have already found that
legislation can force us to integrate
bodies of different colors, national
origins and genders in buses and
schools and jobs, but it cannot
change hearts from which all
behavior emanates. ~ Mack Lyon

5. Behavioral change is done by
accepting and respecting the teachings
of Almighty God. All races are going to
behave civilly toward one another only
when we respect each other as being
of a common origin and lineage, our
destiny being equal in the sight of God
our Savior. ~ Mack Lyon

a man.

11. Luke 14:7-11
7 So He told a parable to those who were
invited, when He noted how they chose
the best places, saying to them: 8 “When
you are invited by anyone to a wedding
feast, do not sit down in the best place,
lest one more honorable than you be
invited by him;

12. Luke 14:7-11
9 and he who invited you and him come
and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’
and then you begin with shame to take
the lowest place.

13. Luke 14:7-11
10 But when you are invited, go and sit
down in the lowest place, so that when
he who invited you comes he may say to
you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will
have glory in the presence of those who
sit at the table with you.

14. Luke 14:7-11
11 For whoever exalts himself will be
humbled, and he who humbles himself
will be exalted.”

15. Matthew 18:1-4
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus,
saying, “Who then is greatest in the
kingdom of heaven?”
2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him,
set him in the midst of them,

16. Matthew 18:1-4
3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless
you are converted and become as little
children, you will by no means enter the
kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever
humbles himself as this little child is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

17. Matthew 23:11
But he who is greatest among
you shall be your servant.

Himself His own special people,
zealous for good works.
