Revelation 7:9-12

July 22, 2018 • Pastor Doug Logan

Pastor Doug Logan joined us to open God's Word for us to Revelation 7:9-12. The portrait of Jesus’ throne in Revelation 7 is that people from every tribe, tongue, and nation are gathered together to worship Him. This beautiful portrait is often a point of reference when discussing diversity in the church. The passage is focused less on diversity, though, and more on the glory of Christ. In this first sermon, Pastor Doug set the tone for the series, showing the barrier-shattering reality that comes from an ultimate identity found in the glory of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Doug is is the Director of Diversity and Co-Director of Church in Hard Places with Acts 29. He formerly served as Senior Pastor of Epiphany Camden, a church founded under his leadership in 2012. In 2016, he authored his first book, On the Block: Developing a Biblical Picture for Missional Engagement. Doug and his wife, Angel, have been married since 1996 and have three adult sons and three grandchildren.

Redemption Hill Church is privileged to meet in a historic church in DC. Since 1838 there has been a gospel presence at 400 D St SE. On August 19th Trustees of Ebenezer UMC will join us for an interview on the history of the church, as well as their experience of DC that has spanned decades. We are excited to have such deeply rooted residents join us, and to have the chance to call them friends.

Facing Our History

August 19, 2018 • Pastor Bill Riedel

With a theological foundation and an understanding of church history, this sermon will turn toward understanding our own story and place in God’s work through history. This will include a survey of Christianity in America, including a clear-eyed look at the role Christians have played in racial division and injustice. It will also look at the history of DC, and work toward an understanding of the historic brokenness of our city, and how the gospel can bring healing and reconciliation.
