May 19 Worship at Fairview Pk Marriott

The Rev. Robert Watkin speaks to The Falls Church Anglican from 2 Cor. 5:11-21 and Matt. 28:16-20.

We celebrate Christ as King on this Sunday, and note how he’s a king who loves us when we fail.

A topical message about God's sovereign rule in spite of great evil in the world; a call for repentance and renewal in good works.

God gives us a lot when we say "Yes" to Jesus: we’re also called to live without some things.

Jesus calls us to “go” forth into Mission for him? What Mission? What is the Mission of God? And, what does the Mission of God have to do with you?

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

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.

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.

As we remember the day when the towers fell, the Pentagon burned, and a plane falling from the Pennsylvania sky cut an untimely grave, the Scripture directs us to a vision of a White Horse and its Rider.

What’s the secret to being content in all circumstances? Paul tells us, and it’s at the same time comforting and challenging.

The Rev. Jim Byrne speaks to The Falls Church from 2 Timothy 2:1-3. "Be a Barnabas; find a Paul; disciple a Timothy."

The God who judges us is the God who weeps over us - we see this in Jesus on Palm Sunday.

There is great power in a praying church. God will provide for and direct the church that commits to united and earnest prayer.

The Rev. John Yates speaks to The Falls Church from Acts 1:1-11, sharing that God sometimes uses circumstances that seem disadvantageous to actually achieve his purposes.

The Rev. Bill Haley speaks to The Falls Church from Luke 11:5-13 and Ephesians 5:15-21, giving an introduction to the ministry of the Holy Spirit and what it means to be filled by him.

"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 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!

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.

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.

The Rev. Jim Byrne speaks to The Falls Church from John 1:1-18. Jesus is the Word of God Incarnate. The same Word of the Lord who spoke creation into existence can speak transformation into your life!

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 Rev. Dean Miller speaks to The Falls Church from John 14:1-7. He shares that Jesus is our only way to life with God, despite the competing ways that seek to crowd Him out.

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.
