Homily - But God

Men have their plans and devices, but they do not always align with our Lord's. What Joseph's brothers did, they did for evil. But God used their wicked actions to save the lives of many...raising up Joseph as a type of Christ prefiguring what sort of salvation we would receive in God's own Son. Listen as Rev. George Crocker preaches this week's sermon at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Psalm 34:15-16

Never forget the kindness of God in this life. King David warns about those who do evil and how God will wipe the memory of them from the earth. But David also teaches us that there is hope in this life through repentance as we trust in the Righteous One. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones exhorts the congregation at TRC Chattanooga.

Homily - Judgement Of The House Of God

Humans are curious. When disaster strikes, we want to know the cause of it. When it happens to other people, we may be tempted to wonder whether they “had it coming.” But our Lord Jesus would have us consider something different. Listen as Rev. David Beckmann preaches this week’s sermon at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Joel 2:12-13

Repentance is hard. It’s especially hard if we’ve been covering something up for a long time, or avoiding a deep sin. But the prophet Joel has a word for us: It is never too late to turn back to the Lord, because with him there is always forgiveness. Listen as Elder Wes Keene exhorts the congregation at TRC Chattanooga.

Homily - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem!

The journey of Lent follows the journey of Jesus on his path to Jerusalem. As Jesus nears his arrival to the city, only three days out, he tells his disciples that the door to the Master's house is nearing a close for the nation of Israel and he laments over Jerusalem's impending doom. How do these sayings of Jesus apply to us today and what will be the fate of our own nation? Listen as Elder Glenn Jones preaches this week's sermon at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Psalm 27:9

King David teaches us to take God at his word and come to him at all times for help. During this season of Lent, we are reminded that God tells us to seek his face when we are in danger from our enemies, especially our own sin. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones exhorts the congregation at TRC Chattanooga.

Homily - A Season For Waiting

Let's be honest, some people don't care much for the church season of Lent. The hymns are dark sounding and the mood is somber. But by looking at Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, we can learn how to grow in the season of Lent. We can learn to have contentment in whatever season God has placed us. Satan doesn't want us to observe this season, but we must resist him. Listen as Elder Wes Keene preaches this week's sermon at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Lenten Meditation

If you haven't been exposed to the season of Lent in your life, it can be jarring. There are customs and practices that might seem foreign to us. It isn't a chipper time. It's a season of growing in holiness. Listen as Elder Wes Keene exhorts the congregation at TRC Chattanooga.

Homily - And We Beheld His Glory

At the close of the season of Epiphany we celebrate the transfiguration of Christ before his disciples, learning about the meaning of typology as God's sovereign ordering of history and how we might have responded that night if we were on the mountain with Jesus and his disciples. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones delivers this week’s sermon at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Deuteronomy 30:14

Many other cults and religions require you to jump through hoops to achieve your own salvation. But the Christian Faith does not posit such foolishness. Rather, the words of God come to you in the simplest of terms and the demands of the Gospel are not difficult to do. Consider the simplicity of it all as Elder Glenn Jones delivers this week’s exhortation based on Deuteronomy 30:14 at TRC Chattanooga.
