TRC Chattanooga Podcast

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

2025 has arrived and half of the decade is complete. The world continues to change, but God's word never changes, always standing as our judge for all of life. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones encourages us to read and study the Bible based on the Apostle's saying in 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

Paul has some wonderful writing in Galatians that directly addresses our state change since Christ's incarnation at Christmas. The problem is: it's loaded with landmines we misunderstand! But when we carefully consider what Paul is telling us, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we find tremendous comfort. Listen to this week's sermon from Elder Wes Keene at TRC Chattanooga.

Being a Christian isn't always easy. In fact, a lot of time must be spent simply trying to preserve what has been handed down to us. That sounds like a lot of work, but that's precisely what our Lord commands us to do. Listen as Elder Wes Keene explains in this week's exhortation based on Matthew 10:34.

When the days were accomplished for Mary to give birth, there was no place for them in the inn (or guest room). Today, not much has changed. The world still has no place for Jesus. As Christians, we must make room for him -- but not in our guest room. Listen as Elder Wes Keene preaches this year's Christmas meditation based on Luke 2.

We are direct recipients of Mary's Magnificat, given after Elizabeth's blessing. Beforehand, Mary had gone to Elizabeth to tell her about the angel, but Elizabeth - filled with the Holy Spirit - tells Mary everything she already knew and even more. In light of this glorious news, Mary breaks out in song and delivers to all of us a poem of God's covenant faithfulness, pointing us to pass on that faithfulness from generation to generation. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones preaches at TRC Chattanooga.
