When God Asks "What Did I Do Wrong?"
from The Table Church DC · host The Table Church DC
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.
