What does the Bible say about race and the church? In Ephesians 2, Paul writes to a church divided between Jews and Gentiles, a divide just as tense in the first century as racial division is today. His answer is that Jesus Himself is our peace.

Through the cross, He tore down the dividing wall of hostility and created one new humanity out of the two. This isn’t a new idea. It’s God’s original plan: one multiethnic family reconciled to Him and to each other, giving the world a preview of the kingdom to come.

This message continues our four-week series through the book of Ephesians on how God invites us into a powerful unity and gives us new power and hope to make a difference in Cincinnati and beyond.
