  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
  10/14/2012 Be Healed

How do we enter into what God wants in relation to healing? The audio of this sermon includes two excellent interviews.

 In Jesus' Steps: Practical Christianity from Peter The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
  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
  6/24/2012 Worship is the Heart of Everything

The Rev. Bill Haley speaks to The Falls Church Anglican from Exodus 25.1-9.

 The Lessons God Teaches While Tabernacling The Rev. Bill Haley
  6/10/2012 Grace for the Journey - Rules for the Road

What are the Ten Commandments for? Just to obey a demanding God? No, they show us how to live in grace - the grace God gave the Israelites by bringing them to Himself out of Egypt on eagles' wings. The Law is a mirror that shows us our hearts and a path for us to walk on.

 The Lessons God Teaches While Tabernacling The Rev. Dr. Joseph (Skip) Ryan
  6/3/2012 God Will Provide

When all other options are exhausted in the wilderness, God will provide. The wilderness is where miracles happen.

 The Lessons God Teaches While Tabernacling 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.
  1/15/2012 When Jesus was Put out of Church

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.

 The Gospel of Justice 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
  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
  12/12/2010 I will not Leave you as Orphans

The Rev. John Kurcina speaks to The Falls Church from John 14:12-31. The sermon looks at the plight of orphans (& widows) in the ancient world in order to more fully understand the gospel promises for a family and home that Jesus gives to his disciples in John 14.

 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.

 The Incarnation The Rev. Wright Wall
  10/30/2010 Give Radically

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.
