Exhortation - Philippians 2:2

For far too long, Christians have been trained to focus on their denominational specific traits and, at times, Christians have even felt they were rivals with one another. But this isn't how scripture tells us to live, and it isn't what Paul exhorts us to do. Listen to this week's exhortation from Elder Wes Keene at TRC Chattanooga.

Homily - The Gifts Of The Spirit

The Apostle Paul dealt with idolatry, spiritual gifts, and the misuse of those gifts when he wrote his letter to the Corinthian Church. How are we to understand what was happening in Corinth? To what extent are the manifestation gifts of the Spirit still in operation today? These questions, along with other important issues, are considered in our sermon as Elder Glenn Jones delivers it to the saints of TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Luke 4:12

When Jesus came to the end of his 40 days in the wilderness, he gave a final appeal to God's word as he resisted the devil's temptation, "You shall not put the Lord your God to the test." As disciples of Jesus, this same command applies to us and we must be ready and equipped to face various trials for the testing of our faith. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones delivers his exhortation based on Luke 4:12 at TRC Chattanooga.
 

Homily - Liberty Realized

When Jesus came into the synagogue at Nazareth, he didn’t deliver a message of fire and brimstone. He proclaimed liberty to the captives, among other good things. One would assume the audience would be overjoyed to hear it, and for a moment, they were. What changed? Why did they reject him? Jesus’ words were true then and they are true now. We have enjoyed liberty and will continue to enjoy it. Listen as Elder Wes Keene proclaims the Gospel of Christ in this week’s sermon at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - John 20:27

When Jesus appears to the hiding apostles the second time, he shows Doubting Thomas his wounds to prove, it’s really him. Jesus then commands Thomas to not disbelieve, but believe. How should we understand that kind of active language with respect to “believing”? Should it make us uncomfortable? Listen as Elder Wes Keene delivers his exhortation based on John 20:27 at TRC Chattanooga.

Homily - The Bride Of The LORD

Isaiah writes to a group of people that consistently had trouble obeying the Lord. Unfortunately, that led to eventual captivity in Babylon - despite Isaiah's warnings. What comfort does Isaiah have for them, and for us today? Listen as Rev. David Beckmann preaches to the congregation at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Philippians 2:4

TRC Chattanooga just began its second year of ministry. On this occasion, we look to Paul's words for instruction about how to proceed on our journey together. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones exhorts the congregation to renew our commitment to one another as members of the body of Christ.

Homily - The Son Of David

David and Jesus have a lot in common, and scripture calls Jesus the “Son of David” repeatedly. Jesus is the descendant of David, and that tells us a lot about him. While David and Jesus may have a lot in common, Jesus is clearly superior. Let’s have a look at some comparisons from scripture. Listen as Elder Wes Keene preaches this week’s sermon.

Exhortation - Genesis 40:23

When Joseph interpreted the dream of his fellow inmate favorably, he asked that inmate to put in a good word for him with the Pharaoh. But he didn’t. We have been given all good things by the Lord, but do we remember where those good things come from? Listen to this week’s exhortation from Elder Wes Keene on Genesis 40:23.

Homily - Jesus And The Temple

For our last Sunday in Christmastide, we consider the conclusion of Jesus' birth narrative in Luke's Gospel when he is presented at the temple 40 days after his birth. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones explains the significance of the temple and all that was happening to the world in that moment of history.
