Exhortation - 1 John 5:9

How does scripture speak about confession, and how should we approach God? Pastor Joe Thacker delivers his exhortation to confession to the congregation at TRC Chattanooga.

Homily - True Love

Which commandments are the most important? Honestly, it’s not a bad question, considering God’s law can be pretty daunting. Unfortunately, while the answer is simple, following them is not. Far from abolishing the law, Jesus actually expands it, with the model of his sacrificial love. Listen as Elder Wes Keene preaches on True Love, in this week’s sermon at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Philippians 1:27

Fear and anxiety have a way of driving us apart. We can also become paralyzed by our fears and forget what our mission as Christians is. In Philippians 1:27, Paul exhorts us to stand firm with one mind. By doing so, we will demonstrate that we are living a life worth of the Gospel. Elder Wes Keene explains in this week’s exhortation to TRC Chattanooga.

Homily - Spiritual Progress

The letter to the Hebrews gives us warnings not to fall away from the faith. These are not accusatory or condemning as they are meant to encourage and guide us as we suffer persecutions and difficulties in this life for being Christians. Preaching on Hebrews 5:11-6:12, Rev. David Beckman teaches us what mature Christian life should look like as we make true spiritual progress in the Lord.

Exhortation - Hebrews 2:1-3

Hebrews tells us to pay close attention to the word of God, in particular the word of his Son as it has been revealed to us in the final revelation of the New Testament. If we do not, we risk drifting away from it and being carried off by the flood of God's judgment that is coming upon the world on account of those who disobey it. Elder Glenn Jones delivers his exhortation on Hebrews 2:1-3 to encourage us to listen, believe and obey God's word. It applies to all of life and teaches us true godliness.

Homily - Sharing In The Glory

James and John, two of Jesus' earliest disciples, decide to ask him a rather inappropriate question as they approach the city of Jerusalem. The fallout from the other ten disciples leads Jesus to teach on what it means to be great in the Kingdom of Heaven. Hear this week’s sermon delivered by Elder Glenn Jones at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Hebrews 4:16

Hebrews tells us to approach the throne of grace with confidence. But too often Christians have cheapened grace to the point of sinning freely or fearfully given in to a tormented conscience because they continue to struggle. Elder Glenn Jones delivers his exhortation on Hebrews 4:16 to help us understand the work of Christ and how our baptisms help us to approach God's throne rightly.

Homily - Treasure In Heaven

The rich young man was confused. He asked Jesus what he had to do to inherit eternal life. It seems like a reasonable question to ask. But when presented the list of requirements, the man is stunned and saddened. What can we learn about worldly treasures from Mark's account? TJ Draper preaches his message 'Treasure In Heaven' at TRC Chattanooga.

Exhortation - Amos 2:4

Amos prophesied about the destruction of many peoples. Their transgressions were pretty egregious. But when he got around to the prophecy against Judah, the charges don't sound so bad. So what had Judah done, and how can we avoid their fate? Elder Wes Keene gives his exhortation to TRC Chattanooga, based on Amos 2:4.

Homily - Very Good!

God’s design for the family is good. Very good. But we find lots of ways to screw it all up. We convince ourselves that we can manage our relationships according to our own designs and come out on top. But God has a word for us. Can we just “grow apart” or “go our separate ways”? The world says “yes”. God says “no.” Hear this week’s sermon delivered by Elder Wes Keene at TRC Chattanooga.
