The Tron Church Podcast
By Tron Church
We take the Bible seriously. When its message is proclaimed clearly, the voice of the living God is heard clearly today, with transforming power. That's why our priority is to open the Bible and let it speak, wherever and whenever we can.
Listen in to sermons from our regular Sunday gatherings as well as discussions elaborating on the ways in which the teaching of the Bible applies to our lives during the week

In this week’s episode of Talking Points, Agnes chats with Willie and Paul about the sermons from Sunday.

Talking Points Special: Making the Most of Church
What is going on when the Lord's people gather together for church on a Sunday? Who is that gathering for? What is it for? How can we as a church family make the most of Sundays for ourselves and particularly evangelistically?
In this week's podcast we seek to address such questions with a combination of conversations between Katie, Paul, and Willie, and also some interviews with some church members speaking about their own personal experiences of coming to church and of inviting others along.
At various times in this episode we reference Paul Brennan's article Any Given Sunday. If you haven't yet read it, you can do so on our website or you can hear one of our members reading it in our podcast episode from a few weeks ago.

In this week's episode of Talking Points, Agnes chats through Sunday's sermons with Stephen and Paul to dig into them a bit further and to draw out some particularly helpful lines of application.
