Homily - Let Us Kill Him

Holy week is near and this penultimate Sunday gives us a preview of the events that Jesus must go through at the hands of the Jews. The parable of the wicked tenants sobers everyone who hears it, and we must be sorbered by it as well. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones preaches this week's sermon at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Philippians 3:14-15a

Mature Christians are motivated and focused on their divine calling from Christ, who is seated in heaven. In all that we seek to do on earth, this calling must never be lost as our focus... For if we are seeking to gain heaven, earth will be gained too. But if we are seeking to gain earth, both heaven and earth will be lost to us. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones exhorts the congregation at TRC Chattanooga.

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.
