Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know that the issue of race relations has been at the forefront of the minds of most Americans during the last few months.

Among others, Pastor Eric Mason has been engaging other pastors to lead their congregations through a solemn assembly – a week of prayer and fasting surrounding these issues, asking God for mercy and a renewed passion toward unity among His people that crosses the boundaries of race, culture, and creed for the sake of the gospel.

To support this effort, our team at LifeWay has written a couple of Bible studies that can be downloaded absolutely for free at smallgroup.com. Just click the link at the top of the page that says, “Download the Bible studies for #NationwideSolemnAssembly” and they will be downloaded to your desktop.

Our hope and prayer is that God will use these studies to reinforce the truth that God has broken down the dividing wall of hostility both between He and man and between all cultures with the power of the gospel.
