Grace Meridian Hill: Recent Episodes
Grace Meridian Hill
Grace Meridian Hill exists for the holistic renewal of our neighborhood—called to love our neighbors, compelled by God’s transforming grace. We long for Columbia Heights, Mount Pleasant, and Adams Morgan to flourish not only spiritually but also socially, culturally, economically—in every sphere of life. To that end, we are striving to be a community of good neighbors in our words and actions as we ourselves discover, and continually re-discover, how God has been a true neighbor toward us through Jesus. This story of the gospel (“good news”)—that Jesus, out of his own gracious initiative, lived, died, and rose to life to make all things new—empowers everything we are and do as a community. This includes our missional commitment to be a spiritually diverse community, walking with those who have questions and doubts about the Christian faith; a cross-cultural community, building honest, caring, and reciprocal friendships among neighbors of various racial and ethnic backgrounds; and a neighborhood-centered community, loving the people and place immediately around us and serving their needs, those of the poor and disenfranchised in particular.

Series: Who is God?
Pastor Duke Kwon on Psalm 139
1) In your own words, explain what the Bible teaches us about God’s “omniscience” (God knows everything) and “omnipresence” (God is everywhere).
2) How might you live differently in the coming week in light of these characteristics of God?
Our annual GraceDC Network joint worship service happened on June 18, 2017 at Grace Meridian Hill.
Pastor Duke Kwon preached on 1 Corinthians 1:2-3
We frequently speak of "dysfunctional" relationships amongst people—breakdown, unhealthy attachments, using and abusing one another. The Bible tells us we often have a dysfunctional relationship with our material possessions and money. After all, our "stuff" is good, a blessing from God, but also very powerful, and therefore potentially dangerous to our souls.
We commonly describe it as "people-pleasing," being overly "self-conscious," or giving in to "peer-pressure." The Bible has another name for it: the "fear of man." What is it? What's so bad about it? How can we grow in our struggle against it? The book of Proverbs gives us some life-changing wisdom.
Rev. Duke Kwon Proverbs 29:25; 14:26–27
I'm Better Than You Someone has said, “Self-righteousness is like bad breath. Others can smell it, but you can’t." What do you smell in your life and relationships? Jesus teaches us about self-righteousness—this smug confidence that others are “wrong” while you are “right” (and therefore superior to them). He also shows us an alternative: a humble hunger for mercy.
Rev. Duke Kwon Luke 18:9–14
Has something happened, or not happened, in your life that has become a constant source of grumbling for you? Do you realize that grumbling (and, on the other side of the same coin, ingratitude) is offensive to God and damaging to your soul? This is the first in a new series on areas of "sin"—ways we fail to love God and love others—that are easy to overlook or justify.
Rev. Duke Kwon Exodus 16:1–8; 17:1–7
Rev. Randy Nabors shows us how the gospel compelled the early Christians in Antioch to form intentional, cross-cultural relationships.
Act 11:19–26, 13:1–3
Shared suffering deepens relationship. We experience this in our human relationships. Why would it be any different than with God—with his Son, Jesus, whom the Bible calls “the Suffering Servant? As one author has put it, “The invitation to know God—really know him—is always an invitation to suffer.” What does this mean?
Roman 8:12–25
As we talk about various "tools" for growing in our faith (Bible, prayer, relationships, service), we might start to feel like God is calling us to do more, more, more—adding to our already busy and hurried lives. There's good news. Jesus invites us out of crowdedness to solitude with him, and out of noisiness of life and heart into stillness before him. We can't grow without this essential but often overlooked ingredient. Mark 6:30-46
What do you need to grow in your faith? More obvious: spending time with Jesus through prayer, reading the Bible. Less obvious: spending time with people. We cannot grow apart from community; there are certain things of God and the gospel that you will grasp only in the minds of “gospel friendship” – authentic, face-to-face relationships, in which you know one another, serve one another, love one another.
Prayer becomes a burden when we pray to perform, aiming to impress others or God. Jesus shows us a different way: Praying as a child would to a father. When we've been spiritually "adopted" into God's family through a relationship with his unique Son, Jesus Christ, it profoundly and practically changes the way you talk to God: boldly, helplessly, fearlessly, babblingly, expectantly, honestly, imperfectly. You might even start to enjoy prayer.
Matthew 6:5–13, 7:7–11

For Black History Month, Pastor Duke Kwon gave a lecture on "What is Racism?"
What is the sin of racism? Is it simply an attitude of superiority toward those of another culture, or the use of derogatory “slurs,” or the segregation of public places based on race? Or something more? All too often, we talk about it, live with it, accuse others of it, or clear ourselves of culpability for it, without a strong understanding of what racism actually is (and isn’t). In this seminar, we will explore the meaning of racism according to scripture, distinguish various “types” of racism, and identify examples from daily life in our fallen world.
Series: The Life of David
Pastor Duke Kwon on 1 Samuel 24:1-22
1) Think of someone who’s been treating you like an “enemy”? Why has it been so hard to love them? 2) Why should we love our enemies? How does this story teach us to handle opposition and the impulse to retaliate?
Our church is observing Black History Month as one expression of our mission to grow as a cross-cultural community. And Black history includes the personal histories of our Black brothers and sisters, that is, their own stories of faith, identity, grief, and glory. On Sunday, February 12, our sister Arielle Ford was invited to share one such testimony during our worship service. This is a recording of her powerful words.

Pastor Duke Kwon on 1 Samuel 17:1-11, 17-20, 32-50
Sermon Series: The Life of David
1) What are some fears you’re struggling with today? In what ways do you fail to be courageous? 2) How does knowing that Jesus slayed the ultimate “giant” begin to give you strength before your fears?

09 May 16 - 1 Thessalonians - Living in Light of Christ's Return - A Prayer for Sanctification by Grace Meridian Hill
May 2 2016 - 1 Thessalonians - Living for Christ's Return - Life Together by Grace Meridian Hill
What does it mean to live your life in light of Jesus’ promised return? And how does the Bible lay out a vision for a life that is deeply interconnected with the lives of others?
What are you afraid of? We live lives that are weighed down and sometimes defined by fear. How does the resurrection alleviate our fears?
What is your view of sex and sexuality? How does Jesus call us to view it? What does Palm Sunday have to do with sex?
What is our reaction and response to anger? How do we deal with it and how does Jesus call us to deal with it?
Salt slows decay. Light chases away darkness.So what did Jesus mean when he called his followers, "salt and light"?
What if we have been living our whole lives upside down? In the Beatitudes, Jesus redefines for us the values of life that make us tick.
We all long to be part of an "inner ring," for acceptance. But how does Christ make a household out of his believers?
What is the nature of temptation? How can looking at the temptation of Christ help us to resist temptation?
How does Jesus' baptism show what kind of kingdom he was bringing? How does it show his solidarity with sinners?
What can we glean from a family tree of Jesus, the Messiah? How does God work in and through unlikely people?
There is no more life-changing belief a person can come into than to know that you are personally, passionately, really loved by God. This is where our hope for change comes from.
What are the pitfalls of the Christian faith? How can spiritual disciplines help us avoid them?
"The ability to wait is the sign of a person who is not too easily satisfied." Glenn Hoburg on why Simeon's Song can still resonate today.
How is the advent of Christ good news for those suffering from all kinds of oppression?
How is the story of God's redemption evident in the angels' song at the birth of Christ?
How does Jesus' claim to be "the way, the truth, and the life" fit into a pluralistic society like ours?
The vision of the Christian faith is that God made places and sustains, redeems, and renews them completely.
Fear is all around us. It's good news to know that God can be an ever-present help because we have ever-present troubles.
How can we use the power and influence we've been given to lift up the poor and afflicted?
What does it mean to pursue cross-cultural relationships and community in Columbia Heights, Mount Pleasant, and Adams Morgan?
What does it look like to be a spiritually diverse community in Columbia Heights, Mount Pleasant, and Adams Morgan?
