This week we continue our series on "What is the Church?" The last couple of weeks have focused on what it means to be the body of Christ. This week we address how to live into the reality of the body a little bit more. Galatians 3:28 is a fairly well-known text that says “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Gal. 3:28). What would it look like at Urban Refuge if this were an embodied reality and not just a rhetorical slogan? The calling we have from Christ is to be a place where every ethnicity flourishes – equal in God’s sight, equally valued here in the family. We are called to be a place where no social or economic distinction experiences preference or prejudice, but equal value and honor. We are called to be a place where men and women flourish together as spiritual equals – fellow heirs, brothers and sisters equally loved and valued. This united flourishing should not just be something we say with our lips, but live out in our life together as the family of God and the body of Christ.
