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.
5/13/2012 God is For Us

The Rev, John Yates speaks to The Falls Church Anglican from Romans 8.28-32.

 Hope in Christ The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
4/29/2012 The Spirit Prays for Us

There is no shame in not knowing how to pray - even the most mature sometimes simply do not how to bring their concerns to God, and what would be most pleasing to God. In this time the Holy Spirit will pray for us in accordance with the will of God.

Hope in Christ The Rev. Sam Ferguson
4/22/2012 Hope When you Cannot See

The Christian must learn to wait. God's great work in us has only just begun. We are "washed" in Christ's blood, yet "waiting" for the full blessing of new life that will be ours in New Earth.

 Hope in Christ The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
4/22/2012 Hope When you Cannot See

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.

 Hope in Christ The Rev. Nicholas Lubelfeld
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
3/25/2012 The Hope for Creation

 Hope in Christ The Rev. James Swynford
3/11/2012 Co-Heirs with Christ

 Hope in Christ The Rev. Bill Haley
3/10/2012 Co-Heirs with Christ

2/19/2012 Resurrection Living Now

Our relationship with God changes forever when the Holy Spirit takes up residence in our life.

 Hope in Christ The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
2/18/2012 Walking in Spirit-Given Life

The Christian life is lived in, by and through the power of the Spirit. It is a supernatural –and natural – life. Too often we focus on the work of the Spirit at conversion, and at our resurrection, but neglect the Spirit’s work in our present, everyday lives. Paul tells the Roman Christians to “walk according to the Spirit.”

 Hope in Christ The Rev. Sam Ferguson
2/12/2012 Submitting to the Spirit's Law

What does it mean to live of the flesh? What does it mean to live of the Spirit? What does it look like to submit to the Spirit?

 Hope in Christ The Rev. Dean Miller
2/5/2012 No Condemnation

Don’t believe something about yourself that Jesus refuses to say. Many Christians struggle unnecessarily with feelings of self-condemnation for their ongoing failure to live up to God’s standards. Romans 8 gives us great hope that we can move past self-condemnation into an assurance of our healing for this love and help.

 Hope in Christ The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
2/5/2012 No Condemnation

The Rev. Wright Wall speaks to The Falls Church Anglican from Romans 8:1-4.

  4/10/2011 To Be Confirmed

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

 The Rt. Rev. Martyn Minns
  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
  2/20/2011 Mission and Moving
