Hillcrest CRC, October 12, 2025, 9:30am

Rev. Curt Walters 

1. We are all one in Christ. (Galatians 3:28)

2. There are things that divideus. (Galatians 3:28)

• Ethnic background. (Colossians 3:11)
• Social status. (Luke 18:9-14)
• Our gender. (Galatians 3:28)

 3. We are no longer slaves to sin, but children of God. (Galatians 4:7)

 4. We are heirs. (Galatians 3:29, 4:4-7, Revelation 21:1-8)

Next steps...

• Ask the Lord to forgive you for judging others based on wealth, outward appearance, gender, or skin color, but ask Him to give you the ability to see people as Jesus sees them. 
• Read and reflect on Revelation 21:1-8. Think about and share with a family member or friend what you most look forward to in God’s perfect kingdom some day.
• Don’t look at people from a worldly perspective (2 Corinthians 5:16) but see them the way the Bible does, so that the most important difference is not race, gender or socio-economic status, but whether or not you’re a disciple of Jesus Christ.  Make that difference your humble focus, and pray that God would continue to draw people from every nation, tribe, people and language to life in Christ.
