  4/7/2013 Vision - Seeing Clearly

We are to loop upward to Christ, inward to evaluate, and outward to serve.

 The Character of the Called The Rev. Jim Byrne
  8/26/2012 Be Strong, Courageous, Careful to Obey

God's well known words to Joshua are also his words to us, especially when we face challenging seasons in our lives.

 The Lessons God Teaches While Tabernacling The Rev. Bill Haley
3/11/2012 Co-Heirs with Christ

Romans 8 says we are children of God and fellow heirs with Christ. What does that mean? And what does it mean for us right now?

 Hope in Christ The Rev. Bill Haley
  8/21/2011 Content Come What May

What’s the secret to being content in all circumstances? Paul tells us, and it’s at the same time comforting and challenging.

 Finally Finding Radical Contentment The Rev. Bill Haley
  7/9/2011 Richness of Fidelity

This message discusses faithfulness and fidelity in relationships, and especially in marriage.

 Wisdom and Folly The Rev. Robert Watkin
  6/19/2011 The Spirit-Filled Family

Acts 2.42-47 is one of the most compelling portraits of the church as it’s ever been experienced. It helps us know what to expect when the Spirit comes to a community of believers.

 Entering into What has been Given Us The Rev. Bill Haley
  4/10/2011 Why Wait for the Lord - and How?

Along our Lenten way, looking ahead to the great drama of our redemption which we will shortly be celebrating at Holy Week and the Easter feast, we pause to sing a song of ascents which paradoxically begins “out of the depths.” How can that be? By waiting for the Lord. Why? Because he is God and we are not. Yes, but how? First, we wait actively, as St. Paul directs us in our capacity to set our minds on the Spirit and not on the flesh. Secondly, in our incapacity, we wait passively, like Lazarus. His contribution? It was twofold: he was dead and he stunk.

 The Rev. Nicholas Lubelfeld
  3/12/2011 The Vine Life: Abide in Me

We must remain in Him as a branch remains on a vine in order to have life. Remaining on the vine is symbolic of love. To make us bear more fruit it is necessary that Jesus’ commandment of love gradually express itself more and more in our lives.

 The Vine Life The Rev. Mark Nordstrom
  2/12/2011 The Holy Spirit and You

"The Kingdom of God" is The Age of the Spirit. In this age God pours out His Spirit on the elect and comes to dwell in their hearts in the Person of the Holy Spirit. No one is saved apart from the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. Similarly, the process of sanctification is all about learning to walk in the Spirit, submitting more and more of your life to the Spirit. The key question is not “how much of the Holy Spirit do you have?,” but “how much of you does the Holy Spirit have?” One implication of being filled with the Spirit is worship!

 The Holy Spirit The Rev. Wright Wall
  1/30/2011 Proclaiming Jesus to the World

The Rev. Robert Watkin speaks to The Falls Church from Matthew 9:35-38, focusing on the outward call of God's people to proclaim and demonstrate the good news of Christ.

 Shine the Light: Proclaiming Jesus! The Rev. Robert Watkin
  1/29/2011 Proclaiming Jesus to the World

When Jesus looked at the crowd he had compassion on them because they were harassed and helpless like sheep without a shepherd. Jesus tells us that the way to address these needs is to ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers for the harvest. May we follow Jesus’ example and (1) be people who see and people who care, (2) be people who asks God to send out workers for the harvest, and (3) be the people who uses us to answer our prayer and make us disciples who make disciples!

 Shine the Light: Proclaiming Jesus! The Rev. Wright Wall
  11/7/2010 Pray Soberly

The Rev. John Yates speaks to The Falls Church from 1 Peter 4:1-7. Growing up in Christ requires us to learn to think like Jesus - we are to learn to pray with a mind that is anchored in reality (not appearances) and a heart set on discovering and doing the will of God. This is particularly true in praying about how to handle our money.

 Responding to Hardship and Uncertainty The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
  11/7/2010 Pray Soberly

Why is prayer important in a time of hardship, and, more than that, how do we pray? The Rev. Wright Wall speaks to The Falls Church from 1 Peter 4:1-7. We need to be self-controlled and think soberly so that we can pray as we ought to pray.
