The Table Church DC

Sunday, September 11, 2022. Preacher: Anthony Parrott. We launch a new series today on the Theology of Place. Place is often an invisible reality to American Westerners who often have little connection to land and geography. We move, we leave, we move again. How do think through these issues as Christ followers?

A few months ago, a sermon got interrupted due to a medical emergency. But that sermon is finally out as a bonus episode in our podcast feed! Pastor Anthony explains how the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures regularly and routinely use feminine language for God — and we should too! 

Sunday, August 28, 2022. Preacher Anthony Parrott. 1 Corinthians 15 states, "As in Adam all died, so in Christ all will be made live." What does this mean for the future of all humanity?

Sunday, August 14, 2022.

Sunday, August 7, 2022. Preacher: Erin Byrne. Erin shows us how the two stories of Genesis 1 and 2 intentionally paint different pictures and tell different—but complementary—stories about creation. We also learn about the connections between Revelation and Genesis, and God's desire for New Creation. 

Sunday, July 31, 2022. Preacher: Richard Kelley. What is the one thing we can know for sure about God? If that one thing is true, if affects everything else.

If you are the one on the underside of power, speaking up on behalf of yourself or your group is not wrong. It’s not complaining. It’s the right thing to do. If you are the one holding the power, we get to imitate the way of Jesus by giving away power and privilege.

Sunday, May 1, 2022. Preachers Tonetta Landis-Aina and Anthony Parrott. In this team sermon, Pastors Tonetta and Anthony explore the implications of the Spirit falling on the first Christians and the fact that the sign of that was tongues—speaking different languages. What implications does this have for how we understand diversity, culture, and race? 

How is the church to balance the calling to both stay and to go? What does it mean to receive power from the Holy Spirit? How do we think about the Spirit’s role in the creation and maintenance of the church as well as in our own individual spiritual journeys?

Sunday, April 17, 2022. Preacher: Anthony Parrott. There are two kinds of faith. One is toothless and dangerous. One is tangible and can heal the world.

Sunday, April 3, 2022. Preacher: Anthony Parrott. Words and phrases change meaning over time. "Forgiveness of Sin" is a phrase that has dramatically been shrunk in scope and meaning since it's use in Scripture.

Sunday, March 20, 2022. Preacher Erin Byrne. This week we’re continuing our series on the story of the Exodus, digging into what it means to think of God as a deliverer.

Many of them are brickmakers, building homes and temples and pyramids for the Egyptians, their oppresso...
