God calls us to be a church for and among all people. We’re sent to love people and invite them to follow Jesus with us. The Church is sent to reach everyone and embrace anyone. To do this we must check our prejudice at the door, recognizing that God shows no partiality—so all people matter. The example of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch is a powerful example of this truth lived out. As a church for all people, we're sent to love everyone anywhere.

Humans are divided over many issues, but all humanity rallies around this one idea - they desire to be treated with dignity. Why is that? Today we recognize three different issues that are seemingly unrelated but from a biblical worldview are very much connected to the same stream of the fallen human condition. All humanity is created in the image of God.

The culture demands that we who live in the culture weigh in on the issues of the day. What are the issues of the day, June 2020? COVID-19. The aftermath of the George Floyd killing. As followers of Jesus, what should we do in the midst of the cultural demands? The signature song of the movie "Frozen" gives us a window, ironically into the truth. In 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1, we discover that Christians really can "Let it go", to the glory of God. Join the Grace United crew to find out how.

"This is my body. This is my blood." These are familiar words to a Christian. The observance of the Lord's Supper is one of the main reasons we come together as a Church. Over the centuries the church has divided over this observance. Added things to it. One Christian denomination sees the Supper as completely different than another denomination. On the other hand, why did Paul include explaining the practice to the Corinthians? And surprisingly, the cultural backstory to the Lord's Supper addresses, of all things, our current iteration of racial unrest in our culture. How so? Join with the Grace United crew as we discover how to approach the Lord in unity, by understanding a more complete story of the Lord's Supper.

Being "privileged" is a really bad word in our culture. The notion is used as a bludgeon by members of one culture upon another. This is yet another weapon the enemy of the ONE human race has in his arsonal to divide us--and tragically he is doing a good job. But the people of God actually HAVE a privilege status. It is recounted in one of Moses' last messages he gave to the sons and daughters of Israel. What does privilege mean? What does it mean to "claim the privilege"? Come with the Grace United crew where, as people of God understand and learn how to apply our privilege.

It's evident...civility in our nation is in crisis! There's a nastiness found all around us today. The Word of God offers filters to help us talks to one another, even within disagreements.

Sadly, we live in an upside down culture where confusion and division regarding race has touched every person and culture today. This message will help explain how God designed and created diversity and variety within one race, the human race.
