As Eric wrapped up our Unity series, we asked an honest and important question: Is racial unity optional or essential to following Jesus? To answer it, we took a “hop-on, hop-off” tour through the book of Acts and saw how racial and ethnic inclusion sits at the very center of the early church. From Jesus expanding the disciples’ vision beyond Israel, to Pentecost including people from every nation, to the church empowering marginalized voices, to Peter realizing God shows no favoritism, Acts shows us again and again that the gospel tears down ethnic and racial barriers. Racial unity wasn’t a side issue—it shaped how the church lived, led, and loved. The conclusion is unavoidable: racial unity is essential to following Jesus. And our calling today is the same—to not make it difficult for people of any race or ethnicity who are turning to God.
