Immigration Basics

Immigration is one of the most divisive issues of our time — and Christians aren't exempt from the confusion. In this Summer Sunday School session, Brian Sayers and Nathan Thiry cut through the political noise to define key terms (refugee, asylum-seeker, migrant), explore the God-ordained role of government, and weigh honest arguments on both sides of the immigration debate. Most importantly, they dig into what Scripture actually teaches about immigrants and the Christian — and expose some of the ways the Bible gets misapplied by all sides. Whether you're wrestling with how to think biblically about this issue or just want clarity amid the rhetoric, this session offers a thoughtful, grounded starting point.
