A time to...
Preacher: Danny Sanchez All summer long, we've been exploring this strange and compelling (and strangely compelling) idea of God's Kin(g)dom. We've asked questions, like: where is it? When is it? How do we know? What are our hopes for it, as individuals and as a community? This Sunday is our…

Remake Believe: 95 (New) Theses Campaign
Preacher: Virginia White It's no secret that things are awry in the capital C church. Division, discrimination, deception, death-dealing doctrines, and dire boredom seem to rule the day. Perhaps that's why many of us ended up here at R+B: a little church trying to figure out how to remake belief....
-
Dreaming Accountability
Preacher: Tim Kim If you haven't heard, I (Tim) will be going on sabbatical starting in July. Which means this week will be my last service until the fall. Which means I would love to see everyone before I go! Join us as we wrap up the last couple months of conversation around the ideas of...

-
Lent 2022 - Let Go
Preacher: Virginia White Reading: Mark 8: 27-35 It might be a surprise that “Lent” has an etymological connection to the word “lengthening.” For many of us, if Lent means anything at all, it evokes ideas about mortality, self-denial, and “giving something up.” But these 40-days don’t end with the...
-
Lent 2022 - Asking Why?
Preacher: Tim Kim. Reading: Luke 13:1-9. Lent is a journey towards Easter, one that involves reflecting on things that many of us might find unpleasant and difficult at the moment. No doubt, death and sin feel very salient at the moment. But, such things need not be dour for dour's sake. After…

Our Listening - Advent 2021
Preacher: Tim Kim - If Advent is a season of expectant waiting, what does it mean to wait well? How do we prepare with intention and purpose? We often turn in these moments to individual introspection, reflection, meditation. But as the story of Jesus' pre-arrival demonstrates, there is usually a...
-
Magnificat - Advent 2021
Preacher: Virginia White - At the same time as the physical world around us descends into longer nights, colder days, and the stillness of winter, the advent season invites us into a spirit of warm and eager anticipation of the birth of Jesus Christ and the coming of the Messiah into the world.…

Love Your Enemies - November 2020
On Jesus saying love your enemies, do not retaliate against violence, do not judge others, and do unto others as you would have them to do unto you. Crazy things like that. Speaker: Tim Kim
-
Worry & Anxiety - October 2020
All of us (most of us?...some of us?) want to help turn the tide amid the panoply of awful things going on. But there is such an overwhelming volume of (often contradictory) instruction on what we should do or not do, say or not say. Then there’s the constant debating, gaslighting, and public...
-
Complex People - October 2020
In order to address the question “W.T.F.W.J.D.”, we need to get clear on who this Jesus guy actually was. That’s not so easy though when some people make Jesus seem like a gun-toting beer-drinking bro, and others describe him as a radical anti-capitalist, anti-war hippie. More often than not, we...
-
WTFWJD - October 2020
Intro sermon for our WTFWJD sermon series. Speaker: Tim Kim
-
Pandemic and Protest - Sin
As we try to navigate a time of real upheaval, it is worth wondering what the spiritual dimensions of all this might be. We ask such a question not just because we are a church community, but because the diagnosis and cure for all that a pandemic and racism bring to the surface must also speak to...
-

-
The Cry of Black Blood
Guest Preacher, the Reverend Elijah Zeyhoue (Calvary Baptist, DC) reflects on the history of racism against black people in America through the lens of the Cain and Abel story in Genesis 4. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” Cain asks. For far too long White America’s answer has remain unchanged.
-

Seeing with Empathy
We conclude our series on relationships with a talk on empathy. What does the Good Samaritan parable have to teach us about empathy? A lot less than you might think.
-
On Family
“Blood is thicker than water,” that old devilish saying goes. The meaning of this phrase is pretty straightforward: family (blood) relations are inherently stronger than any other kind of non-familial (water) relationship or bond. Right? Nah. This rendition of the phrase actually carries the...
-
A Brief History of Friendship
This week we focus our attention on friendship. On one hand, maybe it's weird for a community of adults to talk about this thing which seems to hold diminishing importance for us as we move through the world. It is also not exactly the most famous of topics when it comes to Christianity and...
-
People of Invitation
There is this thing called the Great Commission, the last five sentences that close out the Gospel of Matthew. It says things like “Go out and make disciples of all nations,” for which it has become a rallying cry for all sorts of efforts to evangelize and convert people. That makes a certain…

-
Advent 2018 - Change
If everything you’ve ever known was turned on its head how would you feel? Probably not calm, confident, and comforted. But, distraught, uncertain, and uncomfortable. Yet, Isaiah’sprophecy (Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God) tells us that everything must change to prepare for Christ to...
-
Grace as a Lack of Control
Grace is kind of a big deal in Christianity. Yet, it often takes a massive back seat to things like faith and love (so boring). Why is that? Maybe part of the reason is that grace is like the beginning stages of a romantic relationship. All that “hi, I like you” stuff is really fascinating until...
-
A Lonely God
Did God create the world because God was lonely? By definition, God (omnipotent, omnipresent, yada yada yada) couldn't be lonely right? That would mean that God lacked something. But heresy aside, the image of God as little child with no one to play with, using a child-like imagination to make...
