“Fearing one another, hating one another, not welcoming one another… We have to somehow overcome and see what Christ has done when Jesus walked on earth. He didn’t build walls, he broke them down…”—Grace Ji-Sun Kim

Key Learnings
Community, society, family is so important when looking at our brokenness, sin, and need for repentance and change.
The initial steps toward healing a broken humanity are for local communities of faith, to begin with being convicted of, acknowledging, and lamenting our own sin and our participation in sin.
There are four stages to repentance (it is a process!): conviction, contrition, commitment, and change.
Things to Think About
What community are you a part of? How can your community better reflect the new humanity in Christ?
