Homily - Prophet, Priest & King

Following Isaiah 50, we look at this prophetic passage and how it so perfectly describes the life and ministry of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We can take even more comfort in knowing that we have a savior who delivered us, and now reigns in heaven. Listen as Elder Wes Keene preaches to TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Colossians 3:16

Christians know they're supposed to read the bible. That's a given. Christians know they should come to church. That's a given.
