  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
4/1/2012 Hope While we Groan

Life is hard. The Bible knows it. The Bible speaks to it. We have great hope in the redemption of our bodies: our resurrection.

 Hope in Christ The Rev. Bill Haley
  10/30/2011 The Challenge to Obedient Dependence

Jesus assures the Philadelphians in Rev 3:7-13 of the hope of eternity with God so they will faithfully endure persecution and suffering. An eternal perspective and a God-ward focus is needed in all of our lives to keep us rightly oriented, keeping priorities and perspective when things are going well, and to give us hope and assurance when we are dealing with trials and hardships.

 Revelation: Letters from Jesus The Rev. John Kurcina
  10/2/2011 The Challenge to Courageously Endure

In the world we will have tribulation and suffering, but Christ commands us to overcome tribulation and suffering in the strength that He alone can supply.

 Revelation: Letters from Jesus The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
  9/11/2011 When the Foundations are being Destroyed, What can the Righteous Do?

In the face of utter calamity, such as the calamity the world felt when the United States was attacked on September 11, 2001, how can we respond? When the foundations are destroyed, when not only physical things are disintegrating, but when a nation's moral, ethical and religious moorings are dissolving, what can the follower of Jesus Christ do? The Psalmist in Psalm 11 teaches us how the righteous can respond. The righteous woman or man is to 1) remain righteous; 2) trust in the Lord; and 3) preach the Gospel.

 The Most Rev. Robert Duncan
  9/11/2011 Remembering 9-11

As we remember the day when the towers fell, the Pentagon burned, and a plane falling from the Pennsylvania sky cut an untimely grave, the Scripture directs us to a vision of a White Horse and its Rider.

 The Rev. Nicholas Lubelfeld
  2/27/2011 Where You do not Want to Go

  11/21/2010 Suffer Gladly

The Christian response to suffering for Christ is to rejoice. How can this be? The Rev. Bill Haley explores four reasons in this sermon given to The Falls Church .

Responding to Hardship and Uncertainty The Rev. Bill Haley
  11/14/2010 Love Earnestly

The Rev. John Yates speaks to The Falls Church from 1 Peter 4:8-11. Peter gives explicit instructions on how to live in the Christian community, focusing on love and service. One way the community is to love is to be generous to each other and to be a good steward of God's gifts by using them for each other.

 Responding to Hardship and Uncertainty The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
  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
  10/17/2010 Hope Joyfully

The Rev. John Kurcina speaks to The Falls Church from 1 Peter 1:1-9. The foundation for holy living and for trusting God in hard times is the living hope of our imperishable inheritance through the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, “kept in heaven for you…the certainty of Heaven assures us of joy.”

 Responding to Hardship and Uncertainty The Rev. John Kurcina
  10/17/2010 Hope Joyfully

The Rev. Kathleen Christopher speaks to The Falls Church from 1 Peter 1:1-9.
