Sermon Video: "Do we not all have one Father" Malachi 2:10

The prophet Malachi reminds us that everyone who is in a relationship (covenant) with God has the same father.  One Father = One Family.  In addition, he then reminds us that all of humanity has one Creator.  One Creator = One Human Race.  The prophet's subsequent question, "Why do we profane the covenant of our ancestors by being unfaithful to one another?" reminds us that there is no place in the Church of Christ for racism or discrimination of any kind.  All those who are in Christ share the same Father, and all of humanity as a whole shares the image of God.  Therefore, the Church must be proactive in supporting and defenders our brothers and sisters in Christ who face racism or discrimination, who suffer injustice.  Additionally, the Church has no room for Nationalism or other false ways of dividing the world into groups of 'us' and 'them'.  Silence is not an option, inaction is not acceptable.  It is long past time for the entire worldwide Church to speak together against racism (for example) in ways that transcend politics, affect our own hearts and minds, and impact our family, friends, and neighbors.
