A Message From Rev. Al Walker, our visiting Minister this Sunday, June 12.
CHOOSING CHRIST:
THE REDEMPTIVE ROUTE TO RECONCILIATION”
Philippians 2: 5-11
If not now, when? If not us, who?
Race and racism; one does not exist without the other. So the questions that need to be addressed must be researched, delved into with diligence and determination. We cannot continue down this imploding path as though we are all oblivious to the ramifications. These evil twins are destroying our neighborhoods, cities, states and this entire country. Dismantling the Twin Towers of Race and Racism must become paramount as we move from brokenness to wholeness.
We can never become whole until all races recognize that we have a cancer infiltrating God’s kingdom. If one race feels devalued and silenced or the unfortunate have nots are being systematically placed in a chokehold by the haves, chaos will continue to be normalized. We must purposefully and intentionally converge at this crossroad to speak truth to power, as we all seek to reconcile with not only one another but our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We begin the work by preparing to tread beyond the surface level of race and racism and begin to acknowledge and rectify our “Unfinished Business.”

Scripture Reading
Philippians 2:5-11 (New Revised Standard Version)
5 Let the same mind be in you that was[a] in Christ Jesus,
6 who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
7 but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
8 he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
