Bishop Guernsey speaks to The Falls Church from Proverbs 25 and Matthew 5.

The Rev. Sam Ferguson Speaks to The Falls Church from selections from Proverbs and Matthew 5 regarding anger.

Jesus talks about money more than almost anything else, Proverbs talks about it in almost every chapter. What do they say? How can we tame money and put it to God’s use and find financial freedom?

On Palm Sunday, the Proverbs speak to us about pride and humility, and Jesus models what humility looks like, and a lot of others too.

When Jesus calls us, it's not just to himself, it's to the good of all.

Christ not only calls us to himself, but to the church which he is building up in Love. Thus, ours is a dual commitment: to Christ, as well as to his Church.

We are seeing a rage for "calling" today, but much of the discussion is shallow, confused, and commercialized. This sermon looks at one of the crucial biblical passages behind the doctrine. Christ's call is primarily to Himself and secondarily to our occupational work in the world. Calling is to serve, to be a steward, to be entreprenurial, and to accountability.

The Rev. Dean Miller speaks to The Falls Church from 2 Peter 3:14-18 and Matthew 16:13-23

In the aftermath of Israel’s idolatry with the golden calf God refused to go with them any further. When Moses stepped in to intercede God relented, promising his presence and revealing his glory.

The Rev. Dean Miller speaks to The Falls Church Anglican from Leviticus 23.1-3.

When we are anxious and worry about the future, it is good to fortify ourselves with a review of the Bible’s teaching on hope. In Romans 8:24-25, Paul lays out four things to know and do: 1. We were saved in hope (24a). 2. We do not hope for what we see (24b). 3. We hope for what we do not see (25a). 4. We hope with endurance (25b). And beware: the two great enemies of hope, despair and presumption, are lurking around any hope we can manage. But also be consoled: God is at work in us to get us from our first beginning to our last end.

What options do we have for responding to the Resurrrection? In the Resurrection passages we are told to not fear, believe, and rejoice.

We can turn adversity to advantage, by making it an occasion for exercise of faith and resulting blessing for ourselves and our family.

Jesus never stops loving you, but unless you love him *back*, he will let *you* go.

The Rev. John Yates speaks to The Falls Church from Isaiah 42:1-9. This sermon also touched on the recent court ruling regarding ownership of church property.

God delivers his justice to the world in the person of his son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is light and liberation to the world, and so are we, his body, the Church.

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.

Jesus' intention for us is not to withdraw, but become more involved in the world around us, to be the light of the world by going into dark places.

To enter God's family you must become like children: generous, responsive, almost uncaring about money. John Yates speaks on the encounter between Jesus and the rich young ruler.

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.

The Church is a lampstand which spreads the light of Christ all around. We are to fully reflect Christ in all we do. We must remember that Christ died for our sins, and recommit ourselves every day to loving, serving, and communicating to others the hope and purpose of life in Christ.

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 Rev. James Swynford speaks to The Falls Church from Matthew 24:3-14.

All of us as Christians ought to be working toward the end that is coming, and to think of and value our work just as God thinks of and values it: in light of the end that is coming.

How can all Christians live faithfully to God in an oversexed and permissive culture, particularly if they are single?

Just like at the first Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit comes he convicts and the response is to repent.

The Right Rev. Martyn Minns, Bishop of CANA, speaks to The Falls Church from Matthew 5 during a service of Confirmation.

God loves me and has designed me to draw life from him as I remain connected to the vine which is Jesus Christ. As a loving Father, he prunes back areas of my life that may potentially become the things from which I draw my ultimate satisfaction, security and fulfillment. And he does this so that we can draw more deeply from Him and be more fruitful, reflecting the character of Jesus Christ.

The Rev. Dean Miller speaks to The Falls Church from Matthew 9 & 26, and Acts 2 & 9.

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.

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!

The Rev. Dean Miller speaks to The Falls Church from Matthew 10:1-15.

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.

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.

Give generously because: (1) Because generous giving is a part of Christian Maturity and Discipleship, (2) Because of the grace that they have received through Christ, (3) Because it’s important that they follow through on their good intentions, and (4) Because it’s important to care for the body of Christ.
