Homily - Keeping Christ In His Place

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.

Homily - The Offspring Of Woman

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.

Exhortation - Advent Week 4 (Love)

The fourth and final week of Advent is focused on Love. We are reminded how God's love flows through us into the rest of the world for its very salvation. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones delivers this week's exhortation to TRC Chattanooga.

Homily - The Fruit Of Repentance

We're out of the habit of living out the season of Advent. But it's important that we do so. While Advent is a penitential season, the third week symbolizes Joy. So how can we understand joy in the context of turning to the Lord in repentance. Listen as Rev. David Beckmann preaches at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Advent Week 3 (Joy)

Guadete. It isn't easy to say, but it's the third week of Advent, when we consider the Joy of Christ's coming into the world. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones delivers this week's exhortation to TRC Chattanooga.

Homily - Advent: Christ Preeminent In All Things

Examining Colossians 1:15-20, Rev. George Crocker meditates on Christ's preeminence in all things and how that applies to us in this Advent season.

Exhortation - Advent Week 2 (Peace)

The second week of Advent is focused on the topic of Peace. People can end up with a lot of misconceptions about Christian peace, and Christ's mission of peace on the earth. Listen as Elder Wes Keene delivers this week's exhortation to TRC Chattanooga.

Homily - A Tale Of Two Advents

The season of Advent is misunderstood. In fact, a lot of people don't even know the word. But for the church, it is a highly important season. Unfortunately, even inside the church, some don't understand the purpose of this season. This is what we meditate on during this week's sermon. Listen as Elder Wes Keene preaches at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Advent Week 1 (Hope)

As we roll into a new church year, we also start a new church season: Advent. The weeks of Advent each have their own meaning. This first week of Advent represents "hope". How do we understand hope? Listen as Elder Wes Keene explains, in this week's Advent exhortation.

Homily - Christ The King

The end of the church year is celebrated by Christ the King Sunday. Elder Glenn Jones teaches on Daniel 7 and Revelation 1 as we celebrate and proclaim what it means that the world is ruled by Jesus Christ, the King.
