Racial Reconciliation - Ephesians
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 мар 2019
- We don't have to achieve racial reconciliation, it exists. It is a reality that we must walk in, but it has already been accomplished in Christ. In this session, Dr. Voddie Baucham unpacks Ephesians 2:10-11 to show the sufficiency of Christ's death on the cross to bring us near in perfect reconciliation.
In recent years we have a growing concern about “social justice.” What is meant by that phrase, however, varies widely among those who use and promote it. What is too often missing-even in the calls for “social justice” coming from Christian leaders-is a clear understanding of biblical justice. Justice exists because God is just and righteous. He is the One who defines justice and He has revealed what true justice is in the Bible. For more resources on these topics, you can visit www.founders.org.
This presentation was given by Dr. Voddie Baucham on January 5, 2019 at the Southeast Founders "Do Justice, Love Kindness, Walk Humbly" regional conference in Cape Coral, Florida.

What he says at 34:05 is so true. I went to Germany when I was in the Army. I got an apartment off post, but my landlords did not speak English and I don't speak any German. The army sent interpreters to help us handle the business of me renting the house, but when the interpreters left I was basically on my own with these people who I couldn't communicate with. One day my landlord happen to see my Bible lying on the table. (If you see big thick books of any language that look worn and are lying in easy reach on tables; it's safe to say they are Bibles!) In any case when my landlord saw my Bible he because excited and quickly ran downstairs, grabbed his Bible and showed it to me as well. After that he, his wife and I would praise the Lord together and sing songs. We couldn't understand each other but we instinctively knew that we worshiped the same God. I had a similar experience in South Korea as well. People are people where ever you go, but all are united in Christ.
Aww see that's beautiful. Race has no color we are all God's people. It's beautiful thing.
Amen
WOW, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY AND TESTIMONY!! God is GOD in any language!! :-)
That is awesome, but in America, not speaking English gets you crucified by English speaking Americans, Christians.
Glory to God!
“We use the Bible to critique all
other books - and not other books to critique the Bible.” Amen.
David! What a small world, eh? Loved this sermon. Been binge watching his sermons this week.
Joey! He’s amazing! He preached at my church a about two years ago.
Thank you Pastor, had the privilege of seeing you preach in person. Thank you for your loyalty to Jesus and the word.

druther28, What a perfect way to say this.
I’m a 42 year old grown man son of a immigrant from Mexico crying hearing this. This man is a blessing
Me too broke me a little which is good
Brother, I've been fortunate enough to see him preach in person........greatest I've seen in person along with Ravi.
We must all see as CHRIST see's. He does not look at a persons color but at the persons heart. I'm color blink praise GOD.
Jonathan Neufeld Amen. Yah bless our talents.
What a beautiful comment. This is one of the sermons I wish I could have seen in person. Imagine how the congregation must have seen one another with new eyes and a new love for each other by the time they drove away.
Voddie Baucham, is a trailblazer for biblical racial reconciliation even when it is unpopular. "The blood of Christ is sufficient to reconcile us" is a powerful statement.
If the blood of Christ is sufficient, an I believe it is. Then why don't we look like it? Why is the church still divided alone racial lines?
Ok, now I'm listening to Voddie's message.
@@TheDangerous123dan Good question! Christ prayed to God to protect us while we are in the world...but not to be of the world. Being of the world is a temptation the church fell into. They wanted to change our style and music. The next phase is to change what we believe or our message. The black Christian theology is a trick of the enemy. Social Justice is a KKK movement without the white hoods or murders. Probably even more effective and dangerous because of its ties with the mainstream media. Check out this video also by VB. ruclips.net/video/Ip3nV6S_fYU/видео.html
@@TheDangerous123dan Because we choose to hold onto our prejudice mindsets.How can we genuinely. Worship without renewing our minds?
@@barbararichardson2747 We can't begin to live in obedience to the Glory of God without renewing our minds(Rom 12:1-2).
I don't believe we desire to hold on to any sin, be it in our behavior, mindset or otherwise. But we do all live in Rom7:14-25. The christian life is an ongoing battle with the world, our flesh and the devil. We know this life isn't about prefection but it is about direction.
All who are in Christ receive the benefits an the promises that accompany salvation. Our positions in Christ is by Grace Alone an is secured monergistly. But our sancitification (being made Holy an conformed to the image of Christ)is about our cooperation (synergistic) with the work of the Holy Spirit(working out our salvation)..
I believe this applies to the issue of racial(ethnic) conciliation. We're not there just based on the positional truth of our oneness. The church is still very much divided alone the line's of our ethnicity. It's from that truth(positionaly) we're to walk(order our behavior) to line up(visibly), worthy of our position. To mirror oneness as a witness to a lost an dying world. Therefore, aren't we to keep pressing towards the mark? Individualy and by extension, corporately as the body of Christ? Your thoughts?
I needed a break from virus/riot news and God sent me here.
Same here.
Amen!! Me too
YESSSS!
Me too. God is good.
Me, too. (Thank You, LORD!)
we are blessed to have this man in our generation.
He is PHENOMENAL 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 We have indeed been blessed.
100%❤️
Amen.
Amen!
Agreed
This is what America needs right now. This message is powerful
Amen Miguel!
truly. I came back to this message to remind myself of the true solution for all this going on.
Amen! All these ideologies of this world have been tearing at my heart for days. I'm so grateful that Christ and His word is sufficient and all we need@@PatternSon
Amen!
2Chron 7.14 “If my people, which are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray; seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land.” Why do Christians not take this passage seriously, but insist on universalism and establishing heaven on earth before Christ coming back?
“The Bible is sufficient!” AMEN!!! ❤️
So much on race and violence right now that it's making me mentally sick. This video is exactly what I needed to see. This world is BROKEN, but God's word is perfect and true. Voddie is one of the best at delivering that word
Amen! The world is looking for the very ideals found in God's word but have pushed God away. So thankful like great preachers like Dr. Baucham.
Me to ,
I feel ya.
Amen,amen !
I love that Voddie Baucham brings together so many people, including awesome Christian metalheads. 😊😆😍
I’ve been pastoring a small church in NC and although I am black and have a nonconformist look, on Sundays the attendance is usually 60% Black and 40% white . In all honesty I’ve struggled tremendously with so few of my black male friends attending regularly. I rarely take up offering, the service is 45 mins and consist only of the Word and prayer , and there’s no focus on dressing up to attend , all the things that are reasons given for not attending church, it’s still a struggle. I realized that when GOD truly calls a man , the message given is for all people . For the last 10 weeks since the pandemic caused restrictions on gatherings, ive done a drive thru service where everyone stays in their vehicle and I use a bullhorn . During this difficult time in our country , with the protesting and racial tensions , the 60/40 makeup , has never felt and looked so good. This message has inspired me tremendously and is also an indication that GOD knows just how to speak us when we need it
Keep it up friend! Praying God blesses you in your faithfulness towards shepherding His people.
Keep it going brother! You are part of God's answer in a time such as this!
God bless you, Sir
Don't give up brother! Don't give up! God is with you always!
Stay rooted brother❤ I'm praying for your continued and renewed strength!
Oh. Thank you. I am writing in the time of COVID-19 and police brutality. We have been discussing this on Facebook and every opinion under the sun has been propounded, including mine. I am follower of Jesus and a Sociology instructor, just retired. I have been stating my sociological viewpoint in FB discussions, and I have not seen the biblical truth. This teaching was about finding the truth that has set me free from this ongoing debate about racism and racial reconciliation. Thank you so much for this teaching. It is so needed at this time.
Priscilla Sissem isn’t the truth freeing! Praise Good.
Please don’t believe the media and leftist lies of police brutality. Most cops are good cops. This is a false narrative meant to create fear because fearful people are easily controlled. Please listen to some conservative news commentators to get the other side of the story. Then, you’ll have enough information to come to your own conclusion. Bless you.
Now let us pray for others to find it as well. I have a Sociology background as well & am a retired teacher. I knew the difference but Pastor Voddie has given me the new vocabulary on Social Justice that has helped me to better communicate the differences
White are Evil and deserve hell and to hear their children scream for eternity. Thank you
"The Bible is absolutely sufficient" Amen
"Being without hope in God in this world..is worse than slavery."

Says a person who's never being enslaved!
@@psalmgirl You don't have to apologize for or justify your words, you didn't do anything wrong. I'm a foreigner, but it seems to me, that most Americans, no matter the skin colour, think that "slavery" means a "White enslaver -- Black enslaved one" sort of relationships, while in reality slavery is not and never hasn't been limited to skin colour, or to Blacks-and-Whites relationships, no matter how hard anti-Americans, anti-Europeans or anti-Westerners in general try to present it.
@@user-tr4ej8mw4s when talking about slavery IN AMERICA we are talking about black and white!!! We are not talking about general slavery over human existence.
I wish white people would understand what he is stating, and also black people, the division is what is destroying the world. We are One in Christ, ONE. I know the agender of the day is to keep the separation going from one generation to the next but nothing can separate us from the love of God. Only if we can understand this, this world would be a beautiful place.
Got up at 4 this morning because I was struggling with the insufficient answers I was getting from everywhere about things currently happening. This gentleman of God reappeared in my RUclips feed. Wow. I havnt heard preaching like that in way too long. Sufficient indeed.
Share this message
Funny, I woke up at 2:00am and was awake till 4:00am. I always remember that God can use that time to get our attention. "Songs in the night". Glad you were ministered to.
He is one of my favorites (along with Jack Hibbs, JD Farag (I would watch his weekly Bible prophesies starting a year ago through today, he also has 3 sermons each week that are good, the bible prophesy ones are powerful though.
Very similar thing happened to me as well
Voddie is 🔥!! This i when the word of God is taught in its context.
Dr. Voddie Baucham needs a national platform to preach this message 🙌!!
Amen!!
Share his sermons. More people will hear him.
A powerful message. Everyone in America needs to hear this. May God bless him and his family.
Press the Lord for for His mighty love for us, emen....
The Bible is sufficient for ALL ISSUES for ALL of LIFE for ALL of TIME!!!
33:20 - blood might be thicker than water, but it's not stronger than the cross.
Actually, that’s exactly what that quote means lol. The full quote is, “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”.
PaperParade Never heard it like that before, wow!
So beautiful. Watched this as there’s protesting and rioting all over America over Mr. Floyd’s murder. Christ is the answer. Always, His Word is sufficient. Thank you, Mr. Baucham for boldly proclaiming that truth in such a loving way.
Spare me your Caucasian evangelical rhetoric. Go and spread the gospel to the same members of Law Enforcement that have been killing my people for decades, and the same system that has oppressed my race for hundreds of years.
PHILANDER PHILLIPS and while that’s being done why dont you spread the same message to black on black crime in the hood.
PHILANDER PHILLIPS maybe we can go together.
@Bac si Gà bé You lack comprehension, as I have no idea what I wrote that would convey anger to you. I'm not angry at all, not at you, not at the commenters, not at Voddie, no one really. I simply don't trust other races, as I simply am not commanded to 'trust' you, rather I'm commanded to 'love' you. No earthly reason to trust Caucasians really. I could go into detail starting with the Scriptures and working my way through modern times, but I'm not being paid to do so.
@@whatitdo8426 Outstanding!! That's the Caucasians 'fall back option' when they have no intention of looking in the mirror. If you're looking for the 'back and forth', here is not the time or place.....
"There are people in the Kingdom of God who are far closer to you than your blood relatives"....HUGE FACTS!!!!!!!!!!
This message had me in tears because this is how I have always understood reconciliation! Jesus doesn’t care about my skin color, my gender, or my social economics, nor yours! He cares about our souls, where we will spend eternity! God help us all to see that before He comes back to take us home with Him!!
John 4 deals with that.
Yes!
AAAmen! In the mighty name of JESUS...name above all names...JESUS! Campaign for all Christian websites to have JESUS name present and larger than their name. Campaign at your House of Worship...Act of Love & Faith...AAAmen!
@Donna Dickson, Oh yes, Jesus cares about skin color and gender! He didn't make you a woman and your skin color as an "OOPS!" He designed skin color and gender, and he LOVES ALL OF what HE has made!! We sinners, are color and gender haters! In Christ, we can LEARN to PERCEIVE the beauty of color and VITAL IMPORTANCE of gender! We Christians are NOT called to act like we are blind and cannot perceive physical reality! We are called REJECT SATAN'S and the world's FALSE interpretations of color and gender!
Sounds good but it’s a lot of people that believe they reign supreme
YES! We use the Bible to critique other books NOT other books to critique Bible!! Amen!!!
Wow. "All people need the gospel not just the inner city". Good point. When so many think of missions, they immediately think of inner cities or mission excursions to countries where the majority are black ,brown people. No, The mission field is everywhere. Good point.
Amen!
This has always been the case. We're all born w/ a spirit of disobedience that needs to be reconciled. If anything, the "majority" churches were so entrenched in the curse of Ham that they perpetually taught & believe darker races are forever cursed & that they're whiter than snow. Both are lies from the devil.
@@KSU-ce2uc Agreed, it is a horrible teaching.
Yeah but if you dig deeper I think you’re going to find that the reason the people are even saying that they need mission trips are the same people that caused the problems in the first place but you need to dig a little deeper
“We don’t just no longer fight with one another, we become one another. He makes the two into one!” Amen.
One body in Christ! A truth and a difficult idea if we remain unregenerate.. (meaning: dead in our sin)
@@terryhuffaker3615 Not only a difficult idea for the unregenerate, but the unregenerate are not part of the one new man in Christ.
Man... if we would actually read the word and live it out in today’s context, the world would see the answers to social problems in the church...
that's it fam
Do we know how to make the sacrifices the gospel of the Kingdom of God requires?
Tell that to the confederates
Wow...just wow!!!! I can’t even begin to express my gratitude to God for how He uses pastor Voddie...wow. Absolutely powerful preaching.
Ironic that the opening comment to a message entitled "Racial Reconciliation" includes the phrase "red-headed step-children." Wow...
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”
Galatians 3:28 KJV
The Bible says it all, we can not say it any better than the Bible.
"All Lives Matter".
'God is no respector of persons'
Sin is sin. The Bible is sufficient for racial reconciliation. Live to its print and all falls in place, the problem is we don't live to the printed word.... I don't bow before anyone but the Lord. Every knee shall bow and every toungue confess.....
That’s scripture and the Holy Truth
notice something missing.... color
if we are in Christ there is nothing else needed.
i am a human being, created by holy God.
i am an adopted child of our holy Father, saved by the blood of my Redeemer.
also, a husband, father, brother. there is no room for color.
@nomad:
it may. but that is on man.
It can be misinterpreted, but that onus is on the reader. Paul is breaking through the main social factors that divide people. Reiterating that God is no respecter of persons. It is just one of my favorite verses to deal with racism, the way I vote, and how I treat others
"We don’t have to achieve racial reconciliation. It exists.
It has been achieved. It’s a
reality that we must walk in. It’s not
something that we have to accomplish, it’s already been accomplished." - Voddie Baucham

It's concretely applicable because anyone who repents and believes the gospel is a partaker of the reconciliation spoken of.
The Bible has spoken on these matters. Those who desire to honor Christ obey his commands. We are also given instruction on how we are to suffer as well. Dr. Baucham delivered a fascinating message in this video. I'd recommend actually watching the video.
The detector determined that, that was a lie.
@James Gray The injustices of which you speak of are carried out by people who do not have God in their lives. Christians know that there is only ONE race, the Human race, but the people who do not believe in God do not believe that we all came from the same two people, as Voddie exclaimed loud and clear that, that is what Christians believe and understand to be the truth of the matter. Since these other people don't believe that we all came from the same two original people they tend to distinguish similar ethnicities as individual races. White race, mainly europeans, Black race, mainly Africans, and Aboriginal Austrailians, Yellow race, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc. And Red race, native North and South Americans. I am not even shore about the Middle Eastern peoples, Brown race perhapse? Christians do not view people suchlike as secularists. Unfortunately because of varying characterists between peoples there are many who have developed prejudices and people have developed hatred of others who are not like them. Such actions and behaviors fall under the realm of sin, so any true Christian who may have had such thoughts and feelings before they became a Christian have to repent of such things just like all other sins. -
Romans 6 King James Version (KJV)
6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Blood might be thicker than water but it’s not stronger then the cross🙌🏾🙌🏾

I wanted to be a Christian because the world simply has no answers to life's big questions. Unfortunately today churches seem increasingly at a loss to articulate the true gospel and show a lost world the way out.
Thank God for this clearly presented expository preaching, truly a refreshing breath of fresh air and blessing during these dark times.

Yes Lord
Please magnify your servants voice in America during these desperate times
For years, I have been called a sellout. Because I wanted to do my best in the workplace. In the military, especially in the infantry, because i wanted to get promoted, because i wanted to be good at what I did. It was the black men that held me back. I was called everything that was led to be called a sellout and they did everything they could to use me as a way for them to feel better. But this man gives me hope. Of course Racial Reconciliation must be reach if we are to live in peace.
Richard Baker like wise. I’m prior Army AD, and was raised in COGIC. There is a self-hatred that stems from slavery, a jealousy when one is striving to do better. I still get this slightly and I’m 40. But what you hang on to is this ...that your light 💡 to do better exposes in them a failure to respond to the potential of Greatness God has given us. Keep going brother. The more strong black men succeed the more we can shine on the next generation to do succeed as well. Take heart. Be of Good courage n stand...
Jesus is our peace he has reconciled us all back to our father.
Zambia is one of the few Christian countries remaining which has the courage to stand up to lgbt. I was born and bred there, and I’m pleased to hear that Voddie is living in Zambia.
A Scottish missionary by the name of David Livingstone died and shed his blood in your land preaching the Gospel in years long ago.
Imagine being proud of bigotry.
I thought Uganda was fighting as well
It's a country alright, but Christian? Mmmh I doubt. I'm am African and I can tell you while I'm grateful to God that most African countries reject the sinful ways of the world but their reasons are not biblical but cultural and that's why there is millions of sinful things accepted by the society and gets overlooked 😔
@@pilgrimonanarrowway2034 So true. And if they don't for the right reasons the great deceptions will come and swallow them up too. The sinful ways begin with failing to worship God as God and to be under subjection to him.
"Do Justice, Love Kindness, Walk Humbly"
Micah 6:8
This was my memory verse for calvinettes church club
There is absolutely no justice ever found anywhere apart from Jesus
Yes, yes, YESSS! Bless you, brother. So good! You have hit the nail on the head the way I have felt ALL MY LIFE as a Native American woman who also is 1/2 white. I don't want to have to "choose" which world I live in. I am a child of GOD...THAT is my identity...and my job is to bring others to Him for the glory of His Kingdom. He has ALL the answers. Thank you so much! God has given you such a gift. May the Lord keep you and bless you and your family. Keep preaching it!
This is man is not of God
God makes leaders
He is a liar when said God did not talk against same sex people being with each other..
He don't know what he is talking about
You don't need to look at some other books why people hate people because the color of there skin. There is no such thing called black and white. The people are foolish people we all came from Adam. So that tells me that we have all kinds of things in them
The Bible alone is sufficient! Glory be to God!
This word is so appropriate and so needed right now.

I am getting my masters degree to be a LCP, licensed professional counselor at a highly ranked University. Through the journey of my coursework they have spent so much time on social and cultural foundations (sociology) that people are lost in flooding of information. In my heart, as I walked through the materials I knew that it could not be the baseline of relationships to help wounded hearts, this man’s sermon is the baseline of what counseling has to be. Two become one. The Cross made us ONE! Amen and hallelujah for reconciliation through the BLOOD of CHRIST.
White guy from the U.K couldn't agree more. Bless you Voddie for speaking biblical sense.
One of the best things about being saved is that you are in a family with other Christians from all over the world. It's such a great thing when you and someone who looks and speaks completely different than you get together and praise the same God and love each other.
@Christian Mabe it's the deepest most profound state of belonging in existence in the Universe!
Bless you, brother!
Best message I’ve ever heard on racial reconciliation! 🙌🙌🏾🙌🏽🙌🏿 Thank you Jesus!
The racial segregation in worship bothers me alot. I haven't really said it out loud, but it burns in my chest. I believe God is saddened by this and that He may use me to bring forth change
It is so good to hear a Reformed Minister say the Bible is sufficient for our understanding. I've had so many try to push me towards their doctrine. I am convicted that the Bible is sufficient for all I need to follow God's will. There is nothing more in this world I want.
How I wish the whole of my nation could hear this sermon... I love the Word - there is nothing like it!
Watched this several times and just realized he was crying 😢
About 27:58 Wow, that hurt my heart!
I had not thought about the difference between Jew & Gentile quite in this way. Not the way he explained it about 24 minutes in. (About it being a REAL division that GOD had made, as opposed to our divisions of ethnicity, which are arbitrary.)
28:48 Oh, he's crying!
Prayed about finding a fresh new message in Christ. God led me here. Praise God for this man of God and his teaching.
I will also affirm that this pastor is so right. The Bible is sufficient alone to deal with the problem of racism in the human heart within this nation. We DONT need political social engineering to see our sin in this way.
Unfortunately everyone has not reconciled to Christ and the cross, and there are some people who profess Christ and the cross are racially bias,and prejudice ,like along time ago in the 1960s some people would attend church on Sunday morning in the church suits and Sunday night put on the white sheets at night killed ,and murdered people ,if we go further back people owned slaves in the united states mistreated them sepoerated them from their children rape women and went to church Faith fully .some .I want mention the native americans treatment.I love all colors I'm saved and been reconciled to Christ and the cross so it's natural for me to love everybody,but I also aware of racism.
This is the most powerful Christian message I have ever heard on Racial Reconciliation preached by Dr. Baucham from Ephesians 2:10-18.
Amen!!! Thank you for being so candid. Im 1/2 Filipino and my mom had made us go to an all Filipino church. As a kid and not looking like all the other Filipino kids and was picked on so hard. It was so bad for so long I didn't like other Filipinos or the church for YEARS. God has been addressing my issues since I was 20, and now so many years later God has changed me. I refuse to be in a member of a one race church I believe all races have so much to offer others
When people view one another by social media and corrupt politicians who plant seeds of division for what ever reason, they become short sighted even to blindness
I started my journey with Christ about a year or so ago and it’s been a battle for me, internally and externally. I grew up in the Nation of Islam where the image of God is based on a skin color(Black). I have family that views the world in this way and their comments on White people troubles me. Whenever I challenge it I get called a “White apologist”. We need healing, Humanity is suffering rn due to the sin of racism and America is the center stage of this battle. We need Christ. I just wish my family will wake up and realize that we are all apart of one race. I’m tired of the dehumanizing of a skin color or ethnic background. I’m so tired of it! Sometimes I just want to yell at some folks! But I will not. I will continue to be the change I want to see. Thank you for this Sermon!
*The image of God is reduced to a skin color
The most painful thing is when the members of our new family are hateful towards those in the family who look different than them.

The Bible is SUFFICIENT. Period. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This brings so much clarity and precise focus on the only meaningful answer to this mess today. The reconciling cross of Christ.
Right? I feel like I've been brought back to sanity, after the insanity that has been the last few days.

By far the most compelling and sincere message on racial reconciliation I've ever heard..
Pastor V. keep saying it now. This is strikingly important now in light of the George Floyd killing and ensuing uprising. We the church must walk out that which Christ has already achieved for us. He is our Peace. Thank you sir.
I am the Pastor of a church that literally has about 55% white, 40% black, and small % of other. The problem that I see with his message is that he is placing all of the responsibility on the Black community, and not as much on the other side. I understand that he is speaking mostly from his own experience, but he needs to be fair when placing responsibility or blame. My wife is white and I am black, and we attended a predominantly white church at the beginning of our marriage. We loved the teaching and worship, but I won't begin to tell you about the problems there. We felt that it was best to attend a different house of worship, and this one was predominantly black. Again, the teaching and worship was very good, but a bit different along cultural lines. Plus, we didn't have nearly the racial issues with the predominantly black church. When God directed us into ministry, over 25 years ago, we made a vow that our leadership would strongly encourage a congregation that was blended color wise. I am not saying that either side is better when it comes to blending, but I don't believe that the answer is leaving a church until Holy Spirit leads you to do so. I believe that the scripture tells us to gain friendship of any kind, that you must be friendly. Both sides need to display and promote the godliness of fellowship or friendship. Grace and peace
Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
I definitely see what you are saying.
I think the root problem lies in the fact that the majority of Christian's are not really governed by the word of The Creator and his Christ. Instead Christian's are governed by the exact same thing that governs others in their society, and that thing is usually culture, history, money, power, and in places like America, ignorance, so when we go to "churches" filled with people that look like us or dont look like us, we are not walking into the body of Christ, but into a body of Americans who practice religion, but shaped by culture, history, money, power, etc.
I myself, when I was looking for a new church home, decided to look into joining a white church. To make a long story short, the very first white church I visited made me feel uncomfortable. I would say hi to people and they would look me in my face and say nothing at all. Some people gave me looks, others just completely ignored me, and those who did speak, it felt they only spoke because they felt the uncomfortable feel in the air.
I never went to another white church again.
Since most Christians who go to church are not the body of Christ, but the body of religious Americans, I think things should be viewed from that perspective. Black religious Americans feel and are a marginalized people (stemming back to slavery), and since alot of us come from undesirable places and situations, when we get something good that we can call our own, we get possessive, and I think that is what Voddie was experiencing when he touched on how his black religious Americans were saying he a sellout and how they felt they were losing their best teacher.
I dont believe he is wrong to go to a all white body of Religious Americans, cuz we dont know The Creator's will, but there deff need to be a equal amount of responsibility toward reconciliation. Not just the desire to reconcile, but to DO reconciliation as Voddie has attempted to do.
What's crazy about all this is, the fact that Voddie and others have to talk about reconciliation among races in "the body of Christ" where there is not suppose to be jew or gentile, etc., shows that the socalled body of Christ is in fact the body of religious Americans, and this lack of oneness among different races in the body of Christ show that the problem stems through slavery days but it is mainly rooted in American imperialism and exploitation. The bible was used by European peoples to conquer and subjugate even though the bible condemns that practice.
I can go on, but to give a idea of what I mean, Christopher Columbus first experience with some natives tribes made him write in his journal that they were (morally) the best people on earth....If Christ and Paul could preach the gospel to "barbarians" without violence and plunder, I'm sure Christopher Columbus could preach it to "the best people on earth" without violence and plunder, but he didnt. In fact, his words, shortly after calling these natives the best people on earth was, "with 50 men we can make them slaves and make them do whatever we want."
And that's exactly what he did. He killed so many that many native women killed themselves and their children to avoid the torture, and Christopher Columbus and his thugs sent some natives to europe as slaves.
Pieces of history like that is what I mean when I say, "and this lack of oneness among different races in the body of Christ show that the problem stems through slavery days, but it is mainly rooted in American imperialism and exploitation."
@Mike Jones,
In your Christian walk, you will find wheat-Christians and tare-Christians.
The wheat-Christians will see you and your wife as sister and brother. The tare-Christians will do what tares do: create problems. God is reconciling wheat-Christians, not tare-Christians. We have to endure tare-Christians, and they come in all colors, genders, and ethnicities. The wheat-Christians will experience increased reconciliation amongst each other, while the tare-Christians will experience increased alienation. The Lord will be with you every step of the way.

This is an,amazing RUclips Channel. This pastor is a fantastic teacher. He is black. I believe your souls will be deeply nourished by a fellow pastor in the trenches.
You will be hard pressed to find better preaching anywhere. As a pastor, you need someone who can minister to YOU. I am pretty sure that this pastor will bless you and your wife.
Grace and Peace to you and yours.
Dr. Baucham must appease his donors. And, the thousands of comments approving of this shows a lot of fragile egos. They say that they want the truth, but with strings attached. That's why I don't see too much hope in the church modeling unity.
Wow! This is it! This is what we’re looking for-right here in my Bible! Being Hispanic, I’ve been trying to find a way to communicate God’s view on our racial differences and how to reconcile. BUT IN THE 22nd MINUTE OF THIS SERMON HE TURNS THE TABLE AROUND!! Essentially there’s nothing to reconcile-THERE IS NO RACIAL DIFFERENCES-it is completely arbitrary and random and not worth using to divide and disparage. In pure biological terms, he’s right, WE ARE THE SAME RACE WITH THE SAME GENES, just a few differences in arrangement causes our physical differentiations. We would be able to mingle between ethnicities if we weren’t the same-human beings with the same ancestors. Race is irrelevant....especially to God. We were all sinners condemned to hell, black or white, and now RECONCILED with Christ through His blood (shed on the cross) TOGETHER!
I hope people understand the significance of this reality concerning the cross and the church.
*correction: we wouldn’t be able to mingle with other ethnicities if we weren’t the same
Amen, Brother Mizael! May our Good Lord continue to show you such glorious and true revelations, and may you be a bold teacher for Him :)
This is true but you have to deal with people's pride, even in the church.
KSU 1989 💯... especially in the church!! 1 Pet. 4:17...
@@KSU-ce2uc that is where talking about it comes in.
The Bible sufficiently gives us the Truth regarding the church's responsibility to protect the lives of the oppressed.
"The Bible is sufficient." -Dr. Baucham... Glory to God!
He is the man. best living communicator of gods Word in my opinion. Al Mohler Steve Lawson very high also check them out!
@@uncasunga1800 thank you.
This needs to be the #1 trending video on RUclips right now for Americans
We ARE the same, no true difference. Finally!
The white power movement doesn’t see reconciliation as a viable option
I will not speak to Pastor Voddie's meaning here, beyond the obvious The Bible is our foundational source and guide". But I am alarmed by the relief I hear in the comments, such as "The blood of Christ is sufficient to reconcile us". The blood of Christ reconciles us to God and to our brothers in Christ it does not absolve us from showing our faith by our works. Christ, in his parable of the Good Samaritan was telling us that it is not enough to be religious. We should/must act with compassion for those who are brutalized in society. The hero of the parable is someone whom his audience despised a Samaritan. The man did not assess the worthiness of the victim he just rendered the aid needed, then he secured him shelter, food and medical attention. Sometimes to share the Gospel, we must be the Gospel. You should not feel relief that the Christ is sufficient - you should be terrified, because as a follower of Christ, you are called to be Christ in this moment and all the other hard times in this life.
Well said, we must share the love of God through our conversation, behaviour, actions
AMEN - The bible is sufficient and in Christ we see God in the flesh compassionate, righteous anger, healing people, declaring the Kingdom, bringing salvation, under the threat of being killed. He spoke Righteousness & Justice. The Bible also speaks allot on Racism issues through out scripture, so to not talk about what scripture says on this matter and talk his own opinion misses his point on the sufficient of scripture.
Blessings to you from London 🇬🇧
Voddie addresses that, he says that's the foundation of our reconciliation, now we have to walk it out. I don't think he or anyone in the comments would disagree with that. The relief comes from having the burden of confusing, condemning, unclear, hopeless "solutions" being replaced by the clear, grace-filled truth of the gospel. Blessings to you
@@plousia - So would you say that for hundreds of years, the "body of Christ" wasnt filled with the clear graceful truth of the gospel?
This is dynamic preaching and there is so much silence one can hear a pin drop. If I was there Id be all over the place shouting with words of agreement and praise for the Lord Jesus for His work on the cross!!!!!
What an awesome example of servanthood that God has raised up in the person of Dr.Baucham!
Your message is urgently needed in today's world. God bless you Voddie Baucham.
One of the more powerful sermons you will ever hear.
Thank the Lord for this man, my brother in Christ, who is bold and brave enough to speak the truth in love. Let us pray for the salvation of all people who idolize race, ethnicity, or nationality above unity in Christ.
@Paloma Pizarro you have a beautiful name. Sounds like a movie star! 😊❤😊
Most importantly I'm glad you're in Christ!
I would love to have this man as my Pastor!
I love this man!! He is my brother!!
Listening to this at 2 in the morning as I was about to call it a night after putting my little baby to sleep. But I couldn't put my phone down and here I am still. Such a timely message straight from God's heart ❤ 🥺😭
Wow I am just blown away by the way you teach the word. I listen to a couple of other ministers and teachers that I admire greatly. When I listen to you the scripture comes to my mind from Isiaha 1:18 that states" come, let us reason together." So listening to you , the way the Spirit works through your voice, the subject that you speak on, brings about in me a deeper need for prayer.
An understanding and a call to action within myself. Thank you. I believe things are moving more quickly now and we must prepare ourselves carefully for what's coming on the horizon..
Thank you.
Oh yeah. The Lord sent me here. I know this will be powerful. Lord may you rid the world of racism and the sin that plagues us today.
Sola Scriptura. Christ is the answer. Amen Voddie!!
I am so thankful for the gifts the Lord has given Voddie Baucham.
He brings the application out of the Word. I am always humbled as He points to the Lord and convicted as he shows me my sin in the Word.
Amen, Lauren.
@Lauren Dillard very sweet words! 😍❤😍🙏🔥
Why have I not found this minister of God's Word sooner? I have never ever heard about him. This is such a heart provoking video and I always knew in my heart that there was no such thing as race to God. For the Bible teaches us that we are all one blood. So, why is there fights and hate between the races? Because we don't follow Gods Word on how we are supposed to treat one another and live. Parents who have taught their children to hate the same as their parents taught them. And it goes on. Personally, I thought that was all over in these days of education and all the technology we have. But, people lean on the past and it stirs up anger and hate and revenge. Every day is a new day. And everyday we wake up we are blessed because God woke us up. Why can't we all see the blessings He has given us and just love each other like He loves us? He put our eyes in the front of our head to look forward. Not at the past behind us.
This teaching is not for itching ears. Wonderful expository teaching.
Landmark Message. Can't share fast enough. Godspeed my brother, Soli Deo Gloria
That single manly tear at 15:43-I felt that
I have been running from video to video looking for a voice in the wilderness who is bold enough to still speak the Truth. Thank you Dr. Voddie and may the One True God Bless you and Keep you and Guide you and Protect you and Stregnthen you and your family all the days of your life. We lost a great preacher in Ravi, but God called him home it was his time to see the Beatific Vision, his work on earth was done. May all the Grace that flowed in him and through him, also Be with you always.
WOW. TEARS. I WISH I COULD GIVE MY TESTIMONY OF THIS: CHANGE IN CULTURAL MINISTRY, FRIENDSHIPS ECT. ABBA COVERS RACISM FROM THE BEGINNING. “Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt. Exodus 22:21. As a multicultural minister i agree with this Man of God. God bless you brother! WE ARE ONE IN CHRIST!
Wow I need to hear this man. Why am I just finding him now. I could of used his teaching for a long time now
Same
What a great message. I love this brother. He's got it right. God bless him.
I can listen to Voddie all day. This man epitomizes "rightly dividing the Word of Truth."
A Christain deconstructs Marxist 'social justice' ideology without insult, without rancor, without accusation, or condemnation.
Just a matter of fact..."The Bible IS suficient."
This is one of the most inspiring presentations I have heard in years. Thank you Voddie.
The most beautiful, direct, truthful and loving voice out there today.

I would really like to break down more of this sermon; but, I just do not have time today.
Thank you
Thank you!! 👍🏽
Amen brother! I too left my predominantly single ethnic church to a more multi ethnic church and seek even more diversity not only in race but all levels of social, economic, education, class, political, race, age, gender, etc... basically where you totally feel out of place and others are looking at you with apprehension. BUT WITH ALL THE APPREHENSION and unfamiliarity, TEARS flow down my face when everyone raise their hands and praise our God in one voice. I know that I’m in God’s house and glimpse a bit of what heaven is going to be like...
Well all whites are evil
A true man of God! Dr. Bauchman working tirelessly to break down the divisions that exist between us. Glory be to God and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ..Maranatha!!
