Homily - The Progression of the Gospel

Homily - The Progression of the Gospel

The progress of the Kingdom through the Gospel works itself out in the world a certain way: First comes the Gospel, then conflict, then conquest, and finally peace. God gives life to the new order of the Kingdom while he lets the old order of the world starve and perish as the Gospel spreads throughout the nations. Listen as Fred Thompson preaches from Matthew 10:34-42 about Jesus bringing a sword, not peace, during the conflict stage of the Kingdom’s progress.

Homily - Romans 1:16-32 - The Honor of Righteousness

This was our second week (June 21, 2026) in Paul's letter to the Romans. In this passage, the Apostle Paul begins to proclaim his Gospel, telling the Roman Christians that his Gospel is more honorable than Caesar's Gospel because it brings the Apocalypse now: Salvation to every believer and wrath to every unbeliever. No one has to wait until the final judgment, because the Gospel of Jesus Christ brings God's righteousness and wrath into the middle of history, which means justice is executed without delay and peace with God is possible! Listen as we continue our study with Romans 1:16-32.

Exhortation - Father's Day

Men as husbands and fathers are invested with great glory and responsibility, therefore the Apostle Paul reminds Timothy that the story of Genesis teaches us exactly who God made us to be and how our actions can result in either the blessing or cursing of those whom God has placed under our care. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones gives the exhortation to our fathers on the occasion of Father's Day, June 21, 2026, from 1 Timothy 2.

Homily - Romans 1:1-17 - The Advantage Of The Gospel

Trinity Season marks the beginning of our first sermon series through a letter of Paul in the New Testament. The letter to the Romans is not only Paul's greatest and most treasured work in the Bible, it is also one of his most debated among theologians. This week, Elder Glenn Jones takes us through the introduction to the letter, setting the background context for its purpose and the reason behind why the letter was written and how the same purpose still applies to all of us today. Listen as we begin our study with Romans 1:1-17.

Homily - Razed to the Ground & Raised to the Heavenlies

The book of Hosea is an ever present and relevant word from God to his people, and that includes present day Christian nations that were built upon the truth of God and once faithfully served his Kingdom. In Hosea, God promised to raze Israel to the ground in judgment through a foreign nation, yet he offered them mercy and hope that he would raise them to the heavenlies if they repented and turned back to serving him in righteousness. Listen as Pastor James Durham preaches to the congregation of TRC Chattanooga on Hosea 5:15-6:6.
