The wisdom of Solomon was greatly desired among the ancient nations of the world and it has lasted, as the very word of God inspired by the Spirit, throughout all generations. But what Solomon concluded about the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge teaches us that those very things themselves are fleeting, like smoke in the wind. True wisdom, as Solomon taught, counts for nothing unless we obey God's word and walk faithfully before him day in and day out. Consider, from the book of Ecclessiastes, the vanity of wisdom as you listen to Elder Glenn Jones deliver the sermon to Trinity Reformed Church.

As modern Christians we tend to think that merely the pursuit of Bible knowledge will draw our hearts closer to God. That of course has its part, but the Apostle Paul also teaches that without singing psalms and hymns to God regularly, the word of Christ will not dwell in us richly. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones exhorts the congregation of Trinity Reformed Church.

If you ask people to describe their qualities, very few would put “impudent” on their list of adjectives. We’ve been taught that being impudent is wrong. But what does Holy Scripture tell us? And if being impudent before God is something the Christian actually can and should do, then what would that look like, and what examples can we find in Holy Scripture to model our prayers after? Listen as Elder Wes Keene preaches this sermon entitled “The Virtue Of Impudence.”

Being a Christian isn’t always easy. The Christian will face many temptations throughout his earthly life. One, perhaps, surprising temptation is to add to the law of God. In fact, others will attempt to force us to do that, as well. But in Colossians, Paul tells us to see to it that no one takes us captive. If other people want to give us a new law and a new gospel, how can we resist? Listen as Elder Wes Keene delivers this exhortation from Colossians 2:8.

Christian, will you be shaken to abandon your faith in God one day? King David wrote Psalm 15 as both a warning and a charge to the people of God to live honorable lives, despising what is vile while being genuine worshippers of God in his kingdom. This psalm teaches us what it means to be a faithful covenant member and warns against doing the things that make you vile in the site of God. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones preaches the sermon on Psalm 15 to the congregation at TRC Chattanooga.

Mary chose the necessary and good thing when Jesus came to the house of her and her sister, Martha. Just as Jesus explained to Martha, we must not allow our service and the things of this life to cause us to neglect the most important discipline in our lives - namely our relationship and fellowship with God through prayer and his word.  Listen as Elder Glenn Jones exhorts the congregation of TRC Chattanooga with Luke 10:42.

Sometimes people get confused about the kind of gifts God hands out to his children. Particularly in our modern American context, we have been taught to focus on what could be called “soft gifts”, rather than the tangible, physical gifts God even promises in his own word. There are common errors people make when they read passages like Deuteronomy 30:9-14, and we need to avoid them. Listen as Elder Wes Keene preaches this week’s sermon titled “Blessings Await The Obedient.”

The book of James teaches us something about how to pray. In particular, James 5:16b teaches that the effective and fervent prayer “avails much.” If that’s the case, then we need to understand what effective and fervent prayer is, and how we can avoid ineffective prayer. We must beware of bad habits we sometimes fall into and what we should do instead. Listen as Elder Wes Keene exhorts the congregation at TRC Chattanooga.

Many know and use the Biblical saying, "You reap what you sow". But many times it is misunderstood or misused and abused by those who speak it. The Apostle Paul gave us a clear context in which to learn about its meaning and proper use. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones preaches a sermon on Galatians 6:7-10 to the congregation at TRC Chattanooga.

God calls us to pray at all times and for all people. But many times it is the most powerful and influential rulers who Christian people fail to pray for in their daily habits of intercession and supplication. The Apostle Paul knew that this would be a weakness for us, so he wrote to Timothy to ensure that we never forget to pray for those in authority over us. Listen as Elder Glenn Jones exhorts TRC Chattanooga with 1 Timothy 2:1-2.
