Why must everything be so black and white? Like many of us, Derwin Gray is weary of the racial divide in our society. He longs to see hurts healed, wrongs corrected, and trust replace distrust. The good news is that the Bible has a lot to say about how to heal our persistent racial divides. In this book, popular Bible teacher Derwin Gray walks us through Scripture, showing us the heart of God—how God from the beginning envisioned a reconciled multiethnic family in loving community, reflecting his beauty and healing presence in the world. This message is central to the gospel itself.

Pastor and author Dr. Derwin L. Gray believes there is a path to true happiness. It is a life lived with Jesus by embracing the Beatitudes found in Matthew 5:1-12. As you walk through these words, Jesus invites you into a new life-giving rhythm that cultivates a flourishing, happy, transformative life.

Today's church has a credibility problem. We've pursued the wrong priorities. We've put our hope in the wrong personalities. We've elevated popularity over witness. And it's not just the church that's lost; we are too. As culture wars rage and competing voices vie for influence, many Christians are left wondering, What does it even mean to be a Christian, anyway? Fortunately, the church has been here before—and it already has a powerful resource to help Christians find their way home: the Nicene Creed.

In this audio Bible study, pastor Derwin Gray, of Transformation Church, takes you and your group through Paul's letter to the Ephesians to reveal how the apostle presented the revolutionary idea that Jesus came not only to forgive sins but also to create a unified family out of a diverse people. The letter to the church in Ephesus contains a message that's revolutionary to us even today—it's a message that's especially urgent now: that God desires to bring unity to all things and all peoples under Christ.
