| 11/25/2012 | Proclaim Christ As King We celebrate Christ as King on this Sunday, and note how he’s a king who loves us when we fail. |
The Rev. Bill Haley | ||
| 10/28/2012 | Life Without God gives us a lot when we say "Yes" to Jesus: we’re also called to live without some things. |
In Jesus' Steps: Practical Christianity from Peter | The Rev. Bill Haley | |
 |
5/27/2012 | A Now and Forever Faith for Beleaguered Believers How can believers find "blessed assurance" when every circumstance mocks them with trials and troubles? St. Paul's climactic message in "the Great Eighth" (Romans 8) not only affirms the assurance of faith but also reveals the Gospel paradoxical power that transforms our troubles and sanctifies our sorrows. This is truly a "theology of suffering" that everyone needs to embrace. |
Hope in Christ | The Rev. Dr. Michael A. Milton, Ph. D. |
| 1/8/2012 | Blessing the World and Ourselves Too As image bearers of a just God, we are to do justice. Isaiah 58 is a bracing word to God’s people, but with clear instructions and promises of blessing when we love like God does, and do justice. |
The Gospel of Justice | The Rev. Bill Haley | |

| 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 | |
| 1/22/2011 | Proclaiming Jesus as You Go We live in an age where God is expanding His kingdom one person at a time. Jesus chooses to use us to expand His kingdom by our actions and with our words. Three things to do to effectively tell others about the gospel of heaven: (1) Make time in your life to hang around with people that don’t know Jesus. (2) Think through your testimony and what your life was like before you met Christ, how you met Christ and what’s your life like since you met Christ. (3) Learn a simple illustration to explain the good news of the gospel of the kingdom of heaven. |
Shine the Light: Proclaiming Jesus! | The Rev. Wright Wall | |
| 1/16/2011 | Responding to Jesus In the gospels, when people recognized who Jesus was and came to Him in humility they were transformed. Like them we are called to recognize who Jesus is, to come to Him and to be transformed by Him. And having experienced Him, like those who experienced Him in the gospels we are called to bear witness by telling others what He has done for us. |
Shine the Light: Proclaiming Jesus! | The Rev. Wright Wall | |
| 1/2/2011 | The Deepest Vocation that Comes to Us All The Rev. Bob Koth speaks to The Falls Church from John 15:12-17. Being a Christian is partnering with Christ in making God's love tangible.

The Incarnation | The Rev. John Kurcina | |
| 12/4/2010 | The God who Wants to be Found The Rev. Wright Wall speaks to The Falls Church from John 14:8-11. When Jesus says “I am in the Father and the Father is in me,” he is saying, "I am God". And if that is true, then we have a God that wants to be found -- a God that comes looking for us. Moreover, we have a God that is restoring His creation. |
