Discrimination, the Gospel, and the Church | FITC32

Episode 32

by Dr. Jonathan G. Smith | Faith In The City

Discrimination is just plain ugly.  No matter the reason why it might have happened when a person feels discriminated against, it can be a harrowing experience. So, is the church any better at avoiding this social problem?

Unfortunately for the church, prejudice against particular groups can happen even in conservative churches.  So what is the cure? In this sermon, we discover what James has to say about the sin of discrimination and how to avoid it.

Sermon Topic: Discrimination and the Church

Current Sermon Series: The Integrated Life – Crafting Spiritual Wholeness

Key Notes To Remember:

  • Discrimination can be particularly problematic to minorities because they are often at greater risk.
  • The church should work diligently to create cultures that actively discourage discrimination in its meetings.
  • The gospel radically equalizes everyone at the foot of the cross.
