  11/4/2012 The Rebuke of Jesus

Are the things we pursue in life worthy of Christ? Did he give himself for us so that we could pursue these things? “Once you really realize how Christ sacrificed for you, you won't spend the rest of your life living to fulfill your own human desires and appetites, but you live for what God wills.” (1 Peter 4:2) Sometimes we need Godly rebuke and sometimes to rebuke another.

In Jesus' Steps: Practical Christianity from Peter The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II

The Gospel of Justice The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II

Finally Finding Radical Contentment The Rev. Bill Haley
  6/19/2011 The Spirit-Filled Family

Acts 2.42-47 is one of the most compelling portraits of the church as it’s ever been experienced. It helps us know what to expect when the Spirit comes to a community of believers.

  4/21/2011 Jesus' New Thing

The Rev. Dean Miller
  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
  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.

  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

  11/21/2010 Suffer Gladly

  11/14/2010 Love Earnestly

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.

Responding to Hardship and Uncertainty The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
  11/7/2010 Pray Soberly

The Rev. John Yates speaks to The Falls Church from 1 Peter 4:1-7. Growing up in Christ requires us to learn to think like Jesus - we are to learn to pray with a mind that is anchored in reality (not appearances) and a heart set on discovering and doing the will of God. This is particularly true in praying about how to handle our money.

Responding to Hardship and Uncertainty The Rev. Dr. John W. Yates II
  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.
