Brotherhood
We come to church as friends and family, but what do we see in each other? As brothers and sisters in Christ we are the same, if I would poke any of you with a needle would you all not bleed? Would it not be red blood coming out of all of our skin? As I see it no matter the out word color of the skin, we are all the same with in. Did Jesus not say to love your neighbor as yourself? James 2:8 8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well; NKJV Well if youre following the word of God, how can anyone look at someone with a different color of skin? There is no difference in anyone person from another in this house of GOD or the one across the road, or the one across the tracks. So I ask everyone here to take a deep look inside yourself, and look at the person in front, beside, or behind you and say youre my brother and I love you. Acts 14:15-16 15 "Friends, why are you doing this? We are merely human beings just like you!

So as we leave here this day, my prayer is that if anyone here has an issue with someone because of their mental state of being, because of their body shape, or ones skin color. That this service has woken them up and showed them that we are all GODs children and not a one of us is any different than the one beside, behind, or in front of you. So as we leave here may GOD bless us all and make up see the true beauty of life.
