One Race, One Blood DVD Curriculum

A Biblical Answer to Racism with the Hope of the Gospel

Racial prejudice is easily stoked to red-hot levels in today’s culture, but it originates in the darkness of man’s fallen heart. Sadly, the underlying idea of evolution fuels racism more effectively than biased activists and articulate politicians.

In a world where racial tensions are extremely high, it is imperative that the church address the issue from a biblical perspective. When we start with the Bible, we find that there is only one race—the human race. One Race, One Blood Small Group Bible Curriculum will challenge your group to stand on the authority of God’s Word in every area and to engage the culture with biblically consistent perspectives.

This 12-week curriculum guides participants through a biblical journey to discover what God’s Word reveals about the unity and diversity of mankind. Each lesson includes a video component that teaches the main idea of the lesson, a student activity to engage intentionally with Scripture, and discussion questions that center on how a correct understanding of biblical truths impacts our approach to racial prejudice in our culture. Take-home assignments and a culminating action plan will inspire personal growth and biblical application.

You may consider spending two sessions on each lesson to maximize the effectiveness of your discussion and application time. Though set up for 12 sessions, this curriculum could easily be expanded to cover 24 session.

This curriculum includes:

• Leader Guide — Scripted lessons equip group leaders to facilitate meaningful discussion, assist participants in active Bible study, and reinforce main teaching ideas. Each lesson includes an overview, lesson objectives, and when necessary, detailed preparation instructions.
• Student Guide — With ample space for taking notes, the student guide will become a valuable resource for participants long after this study has ended. As students engage with media resources, guided Bible study activities, group discussions, and take-home challenges, this guide will become a record of their life-changing journey.
• DVD Lessons — Five dynamic speakers, in half-hour video segments, lead you through a biblical foundation that culminates in a call to action, equipping you to address the issue of racial prejudice with the hope of the gospel.
