TBC Glassboro Sermons and More

Before the empty tomb, there is a willing Savior and sacrificial love. Before victory, a choice is made, marking the journey's start. In John 12, as the cross approaches, Jesus moves forward, embracing death not as a victim but as the sovereign Son. The cross was a deliberate choice rooted in divine love. Titled Love That Chooses the Cross, this sermon explores not only what Christ endured but why...

In a world that often celebrates ease, comfort, and instant results, Proverbs 19:15-18 calls the believer back to a life shaped by discipline, diligence, and intentional direction. It confronts the quiet danger of spiritual and practical laziness, revealing that passivity is not neutral—it is costly. The one who folds his hands does not simply rest; he drifts. Yet in contrast, the one who keeps Go...

In these verses, Isaiah vividly describes the fire of God’s judgment, emphasizing that the same God who raises nations also brings them down. While pride may temporarily thrive, it will eventually be confronted by God's holy, refining fire. Isaiah’s message applies not only to ancient Assyria but also to every generation tempted to rely on human strength over divine authority. Isaiah 10:16–19 offe...

Authority in the home is not merely about position; it is about presence, influence, and the tone that is set day by day. Proverbs 19:12–14 paints a vivid picture of how leadership affects the atmosphere: “the king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.” The same voice that can intimidate can also refresh. In the home, words, attitudes, and responses carry w...

Isaiah 10:7-15 unfolds this warning by exposing the inner attitude of the Assyrian king, showing how ambition grew into arrogance and how arrogance ultimately invited divine accountability. In doing so, the prophet confronts what may be called the arrogance of the axe, the pride of an instrument that forgets the hand that holds it. The message remains strikingly relevant today, reminding readers t...

The pursuit of wisdom is not merely an intellectual exercise; it is an act of self-care for the soul. Proverbs 19:8 declares that the one who acquires wisdom “loves his own soul,” revealing that spiritual discernment is not optional for a flourishing life; it is essential. In a world that often prizes impulse, status, and emotional reaction, Scripture reminds believers that wisdom preserves life a...

The final oracle targets legislative and judicial classes, revealing systemic corruption. Instruments meant to aid widows, orphans, and the poor are exploited. It serves as both a climax and a transition: exposing Judah’s institutionalized sin and shifting focus from internal issues to external consequences. When God’s people reject correction, He uses unlikely instruments to fulfill His purposes.

Proverbs 19:4-7 pulls back the curtain on an uncomfortable truth about human relationships: favor is often fragile when it is built on advantage. Wealth tends to gather companions, while poverty exposes how conditional many friendships can be. These verses do not merely describe economic disparity; they reveal the instability of relationships rooted in self-interest. When status fades, or resource...

What does authentic participation in that mission look like when the King returns? It is possible to affirm the mission intellectually while failing to embody it practically. It is possible to speak about evangelism while neglecting compassion. It is possible to defend doctrine while ignoring the vulnerable. Matthew 25 shifts focus from mandate to accountability, showing faith will be examined. Th...

In a world that measures success by accumulation, Proverbs 19:1-3 reorders our values. It declares that a poor person who walks in integrity stands taller than a wealthy fool whose lips and life are crooked. Wisdom reminds us that zeal without knowledge is not strength but instability, and that reckless decisions often bring ruin we later try to pin on God. The passage exposes a hard truth: charac...

The promise given to Abraham, the multitude envisioned in Revelation, the message proclaimed in Romans, and the Church commissioned in Acts all converge at this moment. The risen King sends. The Spirit empowers. The church goes. The book of Acts ends without a formal conclusion because the narrative is not complete. The movement did not stop in Jerusalem, Antioch, or Rome. It has continued through...

Relationships are among God’s greatest gifts, yet they also require wisdom to flourish. Proverbs 18:22-24 highlights both the blessing and the responsibility woven into companionship. A godly spouse is described as a gift from the LORD, a reflection of divine favor rather than mere chance. At the same time, friendships are shown to vary in depth—some remain superficial, while others prove steadfas...

Over the past two weeks, the concept of being “Sent” through understanding how God’s Mission informs Our Mandate has been explored. First, it was seen that missions originate in the heart of God, as seen in Gen 12:1-3 and Rev 7:9-10. Secondly, it was seen that the message we carry is a responsibility specifically entrusted to God’s people, as seen in Rom 10:8-17. Today, the Means God Uses to imple...

Few things reveal the power of wisdom more clearly than the words we speak. Proverbs 18:16-21 unfolds a sober reminder that speech is never small or insignificant. Words can open doors of opportunity, settle conflicts, strengthen relationships, or ignite division and destruction. The tongue carries extraordinary influence, shaping reputations, directing outcomes, and leaving lasting impressions on...

Within the framework of the series Sent: God’s Mission, Our Mandate, this passage clarifies the responsibility entrusted to God’s people. Those who are sent must not only go, but go bearing a message. Romans 10:8-17 reveals that God’s global mission moves forward through the message carried by His people; a message powerful enough to save, universal in its scope, and necessary for faith to arise....

Proverbs 18:14-15 draws attention to the unseen battles that shape daily life—the strength of the human spirit and the quiet devastation of inner wounds. A resilient spirit can sustain a person through sickness, hardship, and loss, yet wisdom acknowledges that there are wounds so deep they threaten to overwhelm even the strong. This passage recognizes both human endurance and human fragility, remi...

As this sermon unfolds, the focus will not simply be on what God has done in the past or what He will do in the future, but on how His unchanging mission shapes His people in the present. The mission of God did not end with Abraham, nor did it conclude with the vision in Revelation; it continues through those who belong to Him today.

Pride often disguises itself as confidence, while humility is mistaken for weakness. Proverbs 18:12-13 exposes this dangerous inversion by revealing how the posture of the heart shapes both understanding and outcome. A proud heart rushes ahead, quick to speak, slow to listen, setting itself on a path toward ruin. Wisdom, however, begins with humility: the willingness to pause, to hear, and to subm...

As the sermon turns to Isaiah 9:20–21, the listener is invited to see more than ancient tribal conflict. This text exposes the devastating social cost of unrepentant sin and warns that a people who abandon the Lord will not find freedom, but fragmentation. When God is rejected, unity dissolves, and the judgment that follows is often seen not only in what God does to a people, but in what they begi...

Strength is often measured by what can be built, earned, or secured, yet Proverbs 18:9-11 draws a sharp contrast between strength that merely appears secure and strength that truly saves. Human effort and wealth promise protection, offering the illusion of stability in a fragile world. But wisdom exposes the limits of self-made security, revealing how quickly it can crumble under pressure. In cont...

Isaiah confronts the listener with a sobering reality: sin is never contained, never neutral, and never satisfied. Left unchecked, it feeds on itself, consuming relationships, communities, and ultimately the people who once believed they could control it. This passage invites the hearer to see that the most terrifying aspect of divine judgment is not always what God sends, but what He allows to bu...

Words possess a quiet power to shape hearts, influence communities, and reveal the condition of the soul. In Proverbs 18:3-8, wisdom exposes how corrupt speech flows naturally from a corrupt heart, bringing contempt, shame, and destruction in its wake. Gossip, slander, and careless words may appear harmless, but Scripture reminds us that they penetrate deeply, leaving wounds that linger long after...

This passage reveals that persistent rejection of God can lead to divine judgment, including the removal of leaders. Isaiah 9 shows that leadership is a sacred gift and responsibility. When leaders go astray and people choose deception over repentance, God warns and withdraws. Isaiah 9:13-17 urges each generation to examine its leaders and its response to God’s correction, as the removal of leader...

Self-centered wisdom promises independence but ultimately produces isolation. Proverbs 18:1-2 exposes the danger of a heart that withdraws from others, not to grow in understanding, but to protect its own opinions. The person who separates himself resists counsel and pursues personal desire, mistaking stubbornness for discernment. Rather than listening and learning, the fool delights in airing his...

This sermon enters that tension between discipline and defiance, between rebuilding and repentance. Isaiah 9:8-12 warns that when God’s corrective hand is met with pride instead of humility, judgment does not cease but intensifies. The outstretched hand of the Lord remains, not because His anger is fickle, but because His purposes are holy and persistent. This passage calls every generation to exa...
