Jesus' temptation in the wilderness not only shows us that Jesus Christ avoided sin where we could not, it also shows us a typological fulfillment. Not only did he do what we cannot do individually, he did what the sons of Israel could not do collectively. Jesus is the true Israelite. Listen as Fred Thompson preaches this week's sermon at TRC Chattanooga.

The doctrine is original sin is under attack, as it has always been. But scripture everywhere speaks of the corruption of the flesh preceding any overt, external sinful actions. Let's listen to what David says on the subject. Listen as Elder Wes Keene delivers this exhortation based on Psalm 51:5.

One the happy occasion of our first wedding at TRC Chattanooga, we meditate on the glory of marriage - how it not only glorified the first man, Adam, but the God-man, Jesus Christ, who came into the world to suffer and die in order that he too might obtain a bride, the Church, for his glory. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones preaches on marriage and glorification to the congregation at TRC Chattanooga.

In the three-year lectionary, this week is dubbed the 2nd To Last Sunday Of Epiphany. But it is also called “World Mission Sunday”. Unfortunately, while that should evoke great joy within us, it probably doesn’t. We have seen missions abused, money wasted, and all manner of corruption. But Christ’s mission will not stop, and his will for even distant nations to call upon His name, will not change. How can we understand World Mission Sunday, and what can we do about it? Listen as Elder Wes Keene preaches this week’s sermon at TRC Chattanooga.

When Jesus tells his disciples not to leave Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit comes on them, they have an unexpected question: “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” The disciples were expecting something different from what would happen at Pentecost. They wanted a physical kingdom. In this exhortation, Elder Wes Keene focuses on Jesus’ response to them and how that should shape our desires for a Christian kingdom.

Holy Scripture is the infallible and inerrant Word of God. We can trust in it, whatever it says. But that doesn’t mean different inspired authors don’t come at the same situation from subtly different perspectives. This is true of when Jesus calls his first disciples. In Matthew’s Gospel, we see a different perspective. Listen as Fred Thompson preaches this week’s sermon at TRC Chattanooga.

Christians are used to getting beat over the head with Romans 13 and their obligations to the government under God’s law. But something that is less often considered are the prescriptive roles Paul assigns to the government. What does he say a good government ought to do? And does our government actually do those things? Listen as Elder Wes Keene exhorts the congregation based on Romans 13:3-4.

King David wrote Psalm 37 to the people of God, teaching them how to respond in the face of evildoers prospering and going unpunished for their wicked deeds. When we consider the wickedness that abounds in our own day, we too need to hear his counsel. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones preaches the sermon to TRC Chattanooga from Psalm 37:1-11.
