  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
  9/23/2012 Peter "Called" by Christ

Peter shows us how to be faithful Christians in our times: 1st Century Discipleship in the 21st Century. And Jesus calls all of us “Follow Me”, even in times that make it hard to be Christian.

 In Jesus' Steps: Practical Christianity from Peter The Rev. Bill Haley
4/6/2012 Mary, Mother of Jesus: Willing that God Change our Plans

Mary willingly submitted to God: He changed all of her plans, and in exchange, God gave her eternity of glory. Only as *we* are willing to let God step in and change *our* plans, can we come into His glory.

 Personalities Around the Cross The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
4/6/2012 Thief on the Cross: My Way, His Way

Whatever you are doing, unless and until you turn to God and give yourself to Him and His way in repentance and faith, you will die without him. God desires us to be with Him, but in His love, leaves the choice up to us.

 Personalities Around the Cross The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
4/5/2012 Judas: The One Who Betrayed Jesus

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

 Personalities Around the Cross The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
  10/15/2011 Thyatira and The Temptation of Tolerance

In today’s culture, intolerance is a vice and tolerance is a virtue. This can create difficulties for the Christian, as following Jesus calls us to really be “intolerant” to certain things; and to not “tolerate” certain things. Under the pressure of not wanting to offend, we can fall into “the temptation of tolerance,” meaning, when being clear about the Truth might be too costly, we tolerate the intolerable. Such was the case in Thyatira.

 Revelation: Letters from Jesus The Rev. Sam Ferguson
  5/22/2011 When the Spirit Comes

God wants to fill you with his Holy Spirit. Understand the differences between receiving the Holy Spirit, a baptism in the Spirit, and being filled with the Spirit.

 Entering into What has been Given Us The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II

  4/21/2011 Jesus' New Thing

 The Rev. Dean Miller
  4/3/2011 The Vine Life: Bearing Much Fruit

Bearing fruit for Christ involves our choice to abide in him, and letting him abide in us. We abide in his love as he abides in the Father's love.

 The Vine Life The Rev. Bob Koth
  2/27/2011 Where You do not Want to Go

In following Christ, he surely will sometimes take us where we don't want to go.

 What is the Holy Spirit doing in our Church? The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
  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
  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
  1/9/2011 Recognizing Jesus

 The Incarnation The Rev. Jim Byrne
  12/19/2010 The Word became Flesh and Dwelt among Us

The Rev. Nicholas Lubelfeld speaks to The Falls Church from John 1:1-14. “The Christmas Gospel goes behind the event itself and compels us to consider not so much the history as the mystery of the nativity story.” (Frank Colquhoun) How? In old-fashioned language: By the mystery of the incarnation the Son of God became the Son of Man so that by the miracle of regeneration the sons of men might become the sons of God.
