When God Asks "What Did I Do Wrong?"

When God Asks "What Did I Do Wrong?"

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

DC Bilingual

Date: 8th March 2026

-------------------

What do you do when you've hardened — when grief, exhaustion, or the weight of the world has calcified something in you that used to feel things? This sermon sits with one of the oldest questions in the Bible: what happens to a relationship when one person walks away, and the other won't stop asking why?

Drawing from the book of Jeremiah and a surprising reread of Ephesians, Anthony Parrott traces how a marriage metaphor — messy, painful, and sometimes deeply uncomfortable — slowly transforms across scripture. The God who accuses becomes the God who absorbs the cost. And the invitation to return isn't "fix what you broke." It's just: turn around and acknowledge it.

Lent isn't a dramatic moment. It's a daily practice of noticing which direction you're facing — and being willing to shift.

When Things Shatter and Don't Go Back

When Things Shatter and Don't Go Back

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

DC Bilingual

Date: 1st March 2026

-------------------

What do you do when something breaks and can't be fixed? Not reshaped — actually shattered. Most of us build entire identities around those moments, and then spend years living inside the story we made up about what the breaking meant.

Preached by Anthony Parrott, this sermon holds two truths at once: some things genuinely can't go back to what they were, and that's not the end. Drawing from the prophet Jeremiah and a deeply personal story about 27 years of carrying the wrong narrative, Anthony explores the difference between a heart that shatters under pressure and one that can be remolded — and what it looks like to build real life in the middle of the fragments.

If you're in a season of loss, disillusionment, or rebuilding something that looks nothing like what you planned, this one's for you.

Planting Trees You'll Never See Grow

Planting Trees You'll Never See Grow

Series: Surviving Saturday: Flourishing in Seasons of Exile

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

DC Bilingual

Date: 8th February 2026

-------------------

You've been showing up, doing the work, trying to live with integrity—and the results aren't there. Policies get worse. People leave. Relationships fracture. So you're left with a brutal question: Is any of this actually worth it?

This sermon explores the prophet Jeremiah, who preached justice for 23 years and saw zero measurable success. Through his story and the words of Martin Luther King Jr., we examine what happens when we stop measuring our faithfulness by outcomes and start asking a different question: What if the rightness of something doesn't depend on whether it's winning? What would it mean to commit to a long obedience in the same direction—not because the KPIs look good, but because the work itself is true?

For anyone exhausted by activism, burned out on hope, or wondering if they should just give up—this is about finding a way to keep going that doesn't rely on immediate success. It's about planting seeds underground where nobody's watching, trusting what you cannot yet see.

Small Acts Matter When You Can't See Results

Small Acts Matter When You Can't See Results

Series: Advent 2025: What do you fear?

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

DC Bilingual

Date: 7th December 2025

-------------------

What do you do when giving up feels simpler than keeping going? When even the people you admire most are questioning whether any of this matters? This sermon explores why despair can feel like a guilty pleasure—offering a horrifying kind of consistency in chaotic times—and why that simplicity is ultimately a lie.

Drawing on the story of John the Baptist questioning Jesus from prison, this message wrestles with what hope looks like when you're running on empty. The answer isn't about manufacturing optimism or pretending things are fine. It's about learning to see the quiet, unspectacular work of repair that's already happening around you—the food pantries, the phone calls, the people showing up exhausted but still showing up.

You don't have to see the finish line to run the race. Your small, faithful acts of repair matter even if you never see them bloom. This week, do one thing without needing to know if it will work.

When Death Itself Dies

When Death Itself Dies

Series: Reading Revelation for the Resistance

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

Downtown

Date: 16th November 2025

-------------------

For centuries, Western Christianity has taught that hell means eternal conscious torment—but what if that's based on a mistranslation? This sermon digs into the Greek text of Revelation 20, the "millennium debate," and why early church theologians read the "lake of fire" as refining transformation rather than endless punishment.

Drawing on scholarship about the word aion (age, not eternity) and the character of a God whose "mercy endures forever," this message offers a different framework: one where death itself dies, where the fire is surgical rather than sadistic, and where justice work—though painful—becomes participation in resurrection.

Especially relevant for anyone processing church hurt, questioning traditional theology, or wondering what it means to work for justice when systems feel immovable. Also includes honest reflection on loss, community endings, and what happens when good things die.

Justice, Mercy, and the Collapse of Empire

Justice, Mercy, and the Collapse of Empire

Series: Reading Revelation for the Resistance

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

DC Bilingual

Date: 4th November 2025

-------------------

What do you do with biblical texts that depict God pouring out bowls of cosmic destruction? For those of us who believe in a nonviolent, loving God, passages like Revelation 15-16 create serious problems. They've been used to terrorize people and justify violence for centuries. This sermon offers a different way forward.

By understanding apocalyptic literature as symbolic resistance writing from the powerless, and by reading through three theological frameworks—universalism, pacifism, and open theology—we discover something surprising: even here, the text itself points toward universal reconciliation rather than eternal punishment. The sermon explores how God's wrath might be less about cosmic revenge and more about love fiercely opposing what harms creation.

If you've ever struggled with violent biblical imagery, wondered how justice and mercy fit together, or wanted to resist oppressive systems while still holding onto hope, this conversation is for you. Includes a bonus Andor reference about resisting empire.

When the Lion Turns Out to Be a Lamb

When the Lion Turns Out to Be a Lamb

Series: Reading Revelation for the Resistance

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

DC Bilingual

Date: 5th October 2025

-------------------

Ever wonder why the Bible is so hard to understand? It's not just because it's old—it's because we're missing the cultural references. Just like future generations won't get "boots with the fur" or calling 411 for information, we're 2,000 years removed from the world that wrote Revelation.

This talk explores the throne room vision in Revelation 4-5 and its central image: a lion that's actually a lamb. It's the key to understanding the whole book—and it completely redefines what power and victory look like. Instead of a warrior God coming back for revenge, we see sacrificial love as the ultimate form of strength. This matters because what we worship shapes how we see justice, community, and ourselves.

For anyone deconstructing harmful theology or wondering if worship can be meaningful without manipulation, this offers a different way forward—one where you can question everything and still choose to pay attention to what matters.

Revelation Wasn't Written for Conspiracy Theorists

Revelation Wasn't Written for Conspiracy Theorists

Series: Reading Revelation for the Resistance

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

DC Bilingual

Date: 28th September 2025

-------------------

The U.S. government recently issued a directive targeting groups that show "anti-American" or "anti-capitalist" tendencies. Early Christians faced eerily similar accusations: they were called atheists, conspirators, and haters of humanity. This sermon explores how the book of Revelation wasn't written as a prophecy decoder ring—it was a survival manual for communities resisting empire.

But there's a twist. After unpacking how to read Revelation as a guide for dissident discipleship, Pastor Anthony turns the mirror on progressive faith communities themselves. What happens when deconstruction—necessary as it was—becomes a wall that keeps out not just toxic religion, but genuine encounter with the sacred? Can you be both critically thinking and spiritually surrendered?

Includes a powerful testimony about kidney transplants, monuments to God's faithfulness, and why hope isn't magic—it's work. For anyone who's left the church but still wonders if there's something worth rebuilding.

How to Stay Calm When Others Panic

Series: What Lies Beneath: Moving from the Clouded to the Clear as Disciples of Jesus

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

DC Bilingual

Date: 3rd August 2025

-------------------

Ever notice how one person's stress can spiral through an entire family, workplace, or friend group? This talk explores why anxiety is "viral" and how we unconsciously pass our emotional states to others—often without realizing it.

Drawing from family systems theory and stories of Jesus navigating conflict, Anthony introduces the concept of "non-anxious presence"—the ability to stay emotionally regulated and connected during others' crises without absorbing their chaos or requiring them to change for you to feel okay. You'll learn practical ways to distinguish between healthy conflict and actual abuse, stop triangulating others into your problems, and recognize when past trauma is distorting your current reality.

If you're tired of feeling like everyone else's emotional dumping ground or find yourself constantly reactive in relationships, this offers concrete tools for breaking cycles and creating healthier dynamics.

Why Your Family Still Controls You

Series: What Lies Beneath: Moving from the Clouded to the Clear as Disciples of Jesus

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

DC Bilingual

Date: 27th July 2025

-------------------

Ever feel like you're finally independent, only to realize you're still making decisions based on what you're rebelling against? This talk explores how anxiety spreads through families like a virus, creating patterns that control our choices long after we've left home. Using family systems theory and the story of Joseph, Pastor Anthony reveals how we often think we're being ourselves when we're actually just reacting to inherited dysfunction.

You'll discover the difference between making yourself "really big" (gaining control) versus "really small" (people-pleasing) as trauma responses, and why both keep us trapped. Learn practical ways to notice when you're being reactive versus responsive, and how to stop letting other people's emotional chaos dictate your decisions.

Ready to break free from patterns you didn't even know were controlling you? This is part one of a two-part series on family systems and healing.

Beyond Bible Roulette: Actually Hearing the Divine

Series: What Lies Beneath: Moving from the Clouded to the Clear as Disciples of Jesus

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

DC Bilingual

Date: 29th June 2025

Passage: Exodus 3:1-7

-------------------

We've all been there—desperately trying to figure out what we're supposed to do with our lives, maybe even resorting to flipping open the Bible and pointing at random verses (anyone else tried "Bible roulette"?). The question "How do I know God's will?" might be the most common one pastors hear, yet it remains frustratingly elusive for many of us.

Using the story of Moses and the burning bush, this talk explores why hearing God's voice feels so difficult and offers practical ways to tune into the divine amid all the noise. Spoiler: it's less about dramatic signs and more about learning to pay attention to the ordinary moments where the sacred shows up. You'll discover why boredom might be your spiritual superpower and how to distinguish God's voice from all the other voices competing for your attention.

Whether you're new to faith or have been wrestling with these questions for years, this conversation offers fresh perspective on one of life's most persistent challenges.

When Faith Feels Empty (That's Normal)

When Faith Feels Empty (That's Normal)

Series: What Lies Beneath: Moving from the Clouded to the Clear as Disciples of Jesus

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

DC Bilingual

Date: 22nd June 2025

Passages:

Exodus 2:11-25
Exodus 3:1-5

-------------------

We all curate the best parts of ourselves for public consumption – but what about the messy 90% beneath the surface? Using Moses' 40-year wilderness period as a framework, this talk explores why spiritual dryness and deconstruction aren't signs of failure, but often necessary stages of growth.

Drawing from Christian mysticism and personal experience with loss and religious trauma, Pastor Anthony challenges the idea that authentic faith should always feel good. Instead, he suggests that our most difficult seasons – when prayers feel empty and old beliefs no longer fit – might actually be where real transformation begins.

For anyone who's felt spiritually homeless, questioned their faith, or wondered if they're "doing it wrong," this conversation offers permission to sit with uncertainty and find the sacred in ordinary, difficult places.

For anyone feeling overwhelmed by global crises, personal failures, or the daily struggle to keep going, this Easter message offers a fresh perspective on how small acts of community and care can become radical responses to empire and despair.

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

Date: 9th March 2025

Passages:

-------------------

In a culture that valorizes productivity and constant connection, taking time for yourself can feel selfish or indulgent—especially for those committed to social justice. But what if rest isn't just a reward for hard work, but the foundation that makes meaningful work possible? In this episode, Pastor Anthony challenges our workaholic mindset by exploring what Genesis, the prophets, and even Jesus have to say about rest. Plus, he opens up about his own recent struggle with anxiety and the hard lesson that none of us—not even pastors—are exempt from needing care. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or just need permission to take a break, this candid conversation offers a refreshing alternative to the "grind til you die" mentality.

Date: 23rd February 2025

Passage: John 14:1-31

-------------------

Growing up, many of us learned that Christianity was about escaping this world for heaven and following the one narrow path to God. But what if we've misunderstood Jesus's message? In this eye-opening talk, Pastor Anthony Parrott explores how Jesus redefined God's "house," challenged religious exclusivity, and revealed a divine love that works more like gravity than a gatekeeper. Whether you're deconstructing your faith or just questioning traditional interpretations, this fresh perspective on John 14 offers a more beautiful and expansive way of understanding God's presence in our world today.

What happens when we cling too tightly to what we think we deserve? In this thought-provoking exploration of the Christmas narrative, we examine how Joseph's radical choice to give up his social standing challenges our modern instincts about power, privilege, and entitlement. From billionaires to turn signals, this sermon weaves together pop culture references, ancient texts, and contemporary social commentary to offer a fresh perspective on what it means to love others in a world obsessed with self-preservation.

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

DC Bilingual

Date: 13th October 2024

Passage: John 12:23-25

-------------------

Join us as we kick off our exciting new series with a twist—Tonetta wanted to have some fun, so we’re diving into a horror movie theme! 🧟‍♂️ But don’t worry, even if you’re not a fan of the creepy and spooky (like me), there’s something profound waiting for you.

In this message, we explore the concept of zombies—not just as monsters in movies but as a metaphor for areas in our lives where we might feel like the “undead.” We tackle questions like:

• Why don’t we like zombies? • How can staying in the closet or suppressing our true selves make us feel lifeless? • What does it mean to lose our identity, culture, or autonomy?

We delve into John 12:23-26, where Jesus talks about a grain of wheat needing to die to produce much fruit. This powerful passage challenges us to consider what it means to “die to self” in a way that leads to true, abundant life.

🌱 Key Points:

1. Loss of Identity (Enmeshment): Breaking free from societal pressures that force us to hide who we truly are. 2. Loss of Culture (Assimilation): Resisting the pull to abandon our heritage and uniqueness. 3. Loss of Autonomy (Subjugation): Overcoming environments that demand blind obedience at the expense of our freedom.

But it doesn’t stop there! We discuss the concept of Death as Rebirth, focusing on:

• Dying to Individualism: Moving beyond self-centered living. • Dying to Kyriarchy: Confronting oppressive systems (yes, we explain what “kyriarchy” means!). • Dying to Independence: Embracing interdependence and community.

💡 Highlights:

• An insightful reading from C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity on finding your true self through surrender. • A reflection on Galatians 5:13: Using our freedom to serve one another in love. • Understanding that to be truly alive, we must engage in collective liberation and authentic community.

We wrap up with a thought-provoking conclusion inspired by Kierkegaard’s idea of the “half dose”—challenging us to fully commit to this transformative journey.

👉 Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how embracing certain “deaths” in our lives can lead us to genuine, vibrant living.

-------------------

Death can make us all uncomfortable. Grief can make us sad, angry, and frustrated. Those closest to Jesus abandoned and denied him at the time of His death. Even though He was dying for them. Jesus welcomed the grieving and spent time with them. Pastor Anthony explains how pushing past our own discomfort helps us grow closer to others and might just lead us to encounter Jesus.

Passage: Luke 9:23-26

-------------------

Pastor Anthony begins a new series where we delve into not only what we're against but also, what we're for. This series will examine how we can let go of the worst of our religion without giving up on Jesus. In the first sermon looking at Luke 9:23-26, Anthony breaks down the concept of discipleship into four main points:

Discipleship is not an invitation to lose or forfeit yourself.

Discipleship is an invitation to ruin your life in order to save it.

Discipleship is an invitation to wholeness.

Discipleship is an invitation to a vision of a radically different society.

Looking at discipleship this way, it is about growth, healing, transformation, and how it calls us to challenge societal norms and expectations. Discipleship also calls us to deny certain things in our lives and embrace others. Join us as we dive deeper into the meaning of discipleship and how it can transform our lives and society. Let's challenge ourselves, ask the hard questions, and seek the answers together. What needs to be denied? What needs to be healed?

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

Date: 10th December 2023

-------------------

Sunday, December 10, 2023. Anthony Parrott

This passage describes the encounters between Mary and Elizabeth, who are both experiencing unusual pregnancies. Elizabeth initially hides herself in seclusion, possibly out of guilt or feelings of unworthiness. Mary, on the other hand, is confused and unsure about the angel's announcement. However, despite their different reactions, both women find joy and connection in each other's presence. The passage emphasizes the importance of finding joy and connection in the midst of pain and weariness. It also highlights the significance of relationships and community in bringing people out of isolation and into joy. Ultimately, joy is seen as an act of resistance against despair and a way to overcome the challenges and suffering of the world.

Recovering from Spiritual Trauma

Series: Practicing Resurrection

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

Downtown

Date: 16th April 2023

Passages:

-------------------

The good news: we can heal from trauma!

The bad news: abuse and trauma can make the things that can bring healing seem bad.

It is a clinically proven fact that the one thing that can help someone heal from abuse, neglect, or trauma is relationship.

In the foster and adoptive world, where I come from, children that suffer neglect or abuse begin to fear all forms of relationship.

So we end up in a paradox. We want to feel close to God. Community, small groups, prayer, Bible study worship, and meditation can help. But now they taste like food-poisioned chorizo.

Passage: John 20:1-31

-------------------

Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023. Preacher: Anthony Parrott. Before the resurrection, the Gospels set the scene: disbelief, doubt, grief, fear, and lament.

Your hard emotions aren't keeping you from God. In fact, they are the very thing that may lead to your encounter with the Divine.

Your Theology Is Unfinished

Series: Lament

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

Downtown

Date: 19th March 2023

Passage: Lamentations 3:1-66

-------------------

This book dares to speak ugly truths about God right next to beautiful ones. It does not hold back from speaking forth a theology that is awful and violent. It makes claims that I, as your pastor, as a Christian teacher, would never make. And it makes claims that I think are gorgeous and revelatory.

And yet, here it is in the Bible. With all of its contradiction and uncertainty and doubt and bold claims and brashness. Lamentations is a tiny microcosm of the whole of Scripture. Scripture which wrestles with God's role in the evil of the world. Our role in it. God's response. And lack of response.

I'm grateful for this book, because it grants us permission to be unfinished. Messy. Contradictory. Uncertain. Blasphemous. And still call ourselves a person of faith.

Passages:

Genesis 4:9-10
1 Corinthians 9:19-23

-------------------

February, 12, 2023. This year we're introducing Theology Cafe. We're going to start questioning the default by looking at the wide variety of other ways of constructing our theology. Everyone does theology. Even the statement, "I don't need theology," is a form of theology.

Our plan for 2023 is to every few months take a look at a different lens and experience of theology. Feminist, Asian American Women, Queer, Latinx, and Indigenous Theology. This month, in light of Black History Month, we're taking a look at Black Theology.

In each Theology cafe, we're going to invite a practitioner and scholar of the week's theme to share with us.

Today, we have a pre-recorded video by Dr. Adam Clark of Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH. He currently serves as co-chair of the Black Theology Group at the American Academy of Religion and actively publishes in the area of black theology and black religion and participates in social justice groups. He is committed to the idea that theological education in the twenty-first century must function as a counter-story—one that equips us to read against the grain of the dominant culture and inspires one to live into the dictum of St. Ignatius, of going forth "to set the world on fire."

Passage: Matthew 11:28-30

-------------------

Sunday, January 29, 2023. Preacher: Anthony Parrott. Have you been told that God must separate Themself from you because of your sin? Or that you needed to hide some significant part of yourself because it was unacceptable to God? That breaks attachment, and makes us feel like we must always be worried if our relationship with God is "good." The good news, though, is God's love for us truly is conditional. And that when Jesus asks us to rest, it's with no strings attached.

-------------------

Pastor Anthony compares the story of the Magi with 4 key questions from the book "Four Thousand Weeks" by Oliver Burkeman.

Where in your life or your work are you currently pursuing comfort, when what's called for is a little discomfort?

In what ways have you yet to accept the fact that you are who you are, not the person you think you ought to be?

In which areas of life are you still holding back until you feel like you know what you're doing?

How would you spend your days differently if you didn't care so much about seeing your actions reach fruition?

Passage: Exodus 16:1-36

-------------------

Sunday, October 16, 2022. Preachers Anthony Parrott and Tonetta Landis-Aina.

The Bible has plenty to say to those in the community of faith about the handling of money, possessions, and wealth. Unfortunately, churches often find themselves either being silent on the issue of money, addressing money only as it relates to giving, or speaking about money in ways that feel coercive. The goal of this sermon series is to address money, possessions, and wealth as a wider issue of discipleship – namely, in the context of the communal economics grounded in Sabbath to which we are all called.

In addition, we also want to be forthright about some of The Table’s Church’s financial needs, opportunities for investment, and overall philosophy of giving. October, November, and December are the traditional months when many organizations ramp up their giving campaigns. Moreover, the holiday season is often a time of unreflective spending and consumption for many Americans. In light of those realities, the goal of this series is to encourage deliberation about spending, giving, investing, and handling possessions in ways that, rather than being coercive, move us toward the alternative economics that we find repeatedly embedded in the biblical narratives.

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.

Resistance, Reactivity, and Rhythms

Resistance, Reactivity, and Rhythms

Series: Mark: A New Kind of Gospel

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

Downtown

Date: 24th October 2021

Passage: Mark 1:35-39

-------------------

Resistance

Resistance is refusing to be defined by the powers that want to take hold of us.

Capitalism.
Toxic Family or Social Systems.
Addiction or Compulsion.
Inner and Outer Voices and Pressure.

"Healthy boundaries are a form of rest." —Tricia Hersey (The Nap Ministry)

“We must not confuse the command to love with the disease to please.” ― Lysa TerKeurst

“Whenever you say yes to something, there is less of you for something else. Make sure your yes is worth the less.” ― Lysa TerKeurst

(Non) Reactivity

Self-Differentiation is the ability to separate your emotions and actions from the emotions and actions of others.

It's different from detachment. Detachment is the inability to care about someone else's emotions. Self-differentiation is the ability to not let someone else's emotional state define yours.

‌Non-Anxious Presence. First, you must be present. This is not the same as avoidance. Second, deciding to not add anxiety to anxious situation. Not the same as denial. But rather, the choice to not add to or pass along anxiety.

Non-Reactivity and Non-Judgment. To be able to respond instead of react. To thoughtfully consider, instead of instinctually knee-jerk.

Rhythms

Disciplines are activities within our power that enable us to accomplish what we cannot do by direct effort. The effect of discipline is to enable us to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done. (Dallas Willard)

Solitude is choosing to step free from human relationships for a lengthy period of time, in isolation or anonymity, to make room for occupation of our lives by God. It is to do nothing and not try to make anything happen. It is the primary spiritual discipline which enables us to learn other disciplines

Silence completes solitude. It is not an absence but a presence, a positive reality, in which we experience in quiet or are in a place with only natural sounds.

Preacher: Anthony Parrott

Date: 17th October 2021

Passage: Mark 1:29-34

-------------------

Mark 1:29-34

Simon's Mother In Law - yes Simon is married (this is later referenced in 1 Corinthians, that the apostles wives and family traveled with them)

Sick with a fever - of course, couldn't go to synagogue. This was not because of the germ theory of disease. This was because of impurity, uncleanness. Perhaps inability; but even if she had been physically able, she would not allowed to go by the community.

Jesus' response - physical touch. To touch those that society had deemed unclean.

Jesus has contagious purity.

Why did the woman serve? Because serving is the sign of being a disciple, in the way of Jesus

Her serving is not about her being a woman and therefore being put back in her rightful place.

Though, it is slight about being a woman, because women were not permitted to be disciples of a rabbi. They are not the people to whom you would be expected to look for an example of discipleship. But it is the woman who ends up being the example to which to follow.

How do we know? Because there are only 3 examples in the whole of Mark's Gospel of people who serve.

1) The angels, who serve Jesus in the desert after his temptation. 2) This woman. 3) And Jesus Himself. "The Son of Man did not come into the world to be served, but to serve."

Messianic secret (why does Jesus tell demons to be silent)

Main Idea: The extraordinary kingdom of God is enacted through radical acts of hospitality and restoration.
