TBC Glassboro Sermons and More

Pride is humanity’s oldest and most dangerous sin. It has led to Adam’s fall and has wrecked countless lives, families, nations, and leaders throughout history. Daniel 4 offers a unique testimony—not from a prophet or priest, but from a pagan who faced the devastating consequences of pride. King Nebuchadnezzar, the most powerful ruler of the ancient world, painfully learned that the Most High God...

Proverbs 14:6-12 explores the connection between what fills our hearts and the actions that flow from our lives. These verses highlight how our inner attitudes—whether pride, humility, foolishness, or reverence—produce outward results that either lead to blessing or destruction. The wise seek understanding with humility and find knowledge, while the mocker searches in vain. What seems right to a p...

As time passes, Nebuchadnezzar’s pride grows. Instead of submitting to God, he builds a golden image, demanding worship to secure his kingdom. Daniel 3 showcases the fireproof faith of three young men who refused to bow to the idol. Their example demonstrates that faith is not forged in crisis but through daily devotion to God before the trials arise

Proverbs 14:1-5 sets the tone for the entire chapter by contrasting the lasting impact of wisdom with the ruinous consequences of folly. These verses remind us that every decision we make either builds up or tears down. The wise—those who walk in truth and integrity—construct lives, homes, and relationships that reflect God’s character and bring stability. In contrast, the foolish, through careles...

Daniel 2 opens with a restless king and a chaotic court, yet it delivers a powerful message of hope: “There is a God in heaven.” The focus shifts in chapter two from Daniel’s faith to God’s sovereignty over nations and history. The dream of the Pentametal Man and the stone that shatters it illustrates the rise and fall of empires and the establishment of God’s Eternal Kingdom. At the core is the t...

Proverbs 13:23-25 draws our attention to the steady and fruitful path of the faithful—those who live with diligence, integrity, and a heart anchored in God’s wisdom. These verses contrast the outcomes of righteousness and wickedness, showing that while the faithful may not always have abundance, they are content and satisfied because they live in alignment with God’s ways. In contrast, injustice a...

Daniel teaches that faith starts with moral determination, not miraculous deliverance. It begins when believers choose to live for God in a world that tempts them toward self-interest, success, or acceptance. Today, the pressure to conform is just as intense. Living faithfully often involves unseen but essential decisions—what believers accept, reject, and whom they ultimately seek to please. Dani...

Proverbs 13:20-22 highlights the profound impact that our relationships have on our character and future. These verses remind us that the company we keep can either lead us toward wisdom or pull us into harm. Walking with the wise brings growth, protection, and blessing, while keeping company with fools invites trouble and loss. Moreover, the passage emphasizes that a righteous life leaves a lasti...

God does not send Isaiah with a message of immediate comfort or revival but instead with a solemn and sobering word of judgment. Isaiah is called to proclaim truth to a people who will not listen, to speak light into hearts that have chosen darkness. This is a hard but necessary message—a divine assignment that would break the heart of any preacher. The people’s spiritual blindness and stubborn re...

Proverbs 13:12-19 speaks to the deep longings of the human heart—the desire for hope fulfilled, the joy of godly purpose, and the satisfaction that comes from walking in wisdom. These verses acknowledge that delayed hope can discourage the soul, yet they also affirm that when our desires align with God’s will, their fulfillment brings life and joy. In contrast, those who reject instruction or chas...

Proverbs 13:7-11 challenges our assumptions about success by drawing a clear line between wealth and worth. These verses remind us that outward riches can be deceptive, and that lasting value is found not in what we possess, but in how we live our lives. While the world often measures worth by financial status, God values honesty, diligence, and wisdom above all else. Wealth gained through integri...

Reflecting the Image of God - Mrs. Natalie Schieber by Rev. Gregory G. Capel, Jr.

Isaiah’s readiness to say, “Here am I. Send me,” is rooted in a heart transformed by grace. This message calls believers to recognize that mission is not just about activity but identity—being so impacted by God’s holiness and forgiveness that one cannot help but respond with willing obedience. Isaiah did not wait for a detailed assignment as he stood in divine glory and grace. He made himself ava...

Proverbs 13:1-6 opens with a potent reminder that the path to wisdom begins with a willingness to receive correction. These verses highlight the contrast between those who embrace discipline and those who reject it, showing how our attitude toward instruction shapes the direction of our lives. A teachable spirit leads to righteousness, protection, and fulfillment, while stubbornness and careless w...

the vision of God’s holiness was not intended merely to inspire awe; it demanded a response. Isaiah’s vision led him to a profound realization of his sinfulness and the sinfulness of his people. It brought him to the end of himself and the beginning of true spiritual transformation. As the passage moves into Isaiah 6:5-7, Scripture records the necessary progression that must always follow an authe...

Proverbs 12:24-28 offers practical wisdom for living a life of peace, purpose, and stability. These verses emphasize the value of diligence, the importance of wise counsel, and the security that comes from walking in righteousness. In contrast to the turmoil and anxiety accompanying laziness, deceit, or wickedness, the path of the righteous leads to peace and life. Living in peace doesn’t mean avo...

In Isaiah 6, the prophet is drawn into a dramatic vision that serves as the theological and spiritual anchor for everything he has proclaimed. Before he can continue speaking to the people on God’s behalf, Isaiah must see himself in the overwhelming reality of God’s holiness. This passage is not simply a mystical experience; it is a transformational encounter with the Holy God, the One who reigns...

Proverbs 12:15-23 centers on the pursuit of wisdom, drawing clear distinctions between the attitudes and behaviors of the wise and the foolish. These verses highlight that true wisdom is marked by humility, patience, and careful speech, while folly is characterized by arrogance, impulsiveness, and deceit. The wise person listens to counsel, controls their temper, and speaks truthfully, bringing pe...

The Joy of the Resurrection declares that the tomb is not the end but the beginning. The stone has been rolled away, the grave is empty, and the risen Christ stands victorious over death. What once brought mourning now gives way to rejoicing. The resurrection is the divine affirmation of everything Christ said and did. It proves that sin has been defeated, death has been swallowed up in victory, a...

As the Journey to the Empty Tomb continues, believers are invited to dive deeper into the narrative of Jesus’ suffering and death, not as a tragic end but as the ultimate expression of divine love. The pain of the cross marks the climax of this journey, where the Savior takes on the weight of the world’s sin and faces the wrath of God on behalf of humanity. In this moment of agony, there is not de...

In this opening message, The Hope of the Promise, attention is drawn first to Isaiah 53:5–6, where the prophet Isaiah presents a profound and piercing picture of the suffering servant. Then, the focus shifts to Luke 24, where Jesus, now risen, affirms that Moses and all the prophets foretold His death and resurrection.

Proverbs 12:8-14 highlights our words’ profound impact on our lives and those around us. Words can build up or tear down, to bring healing or harm. This passage contrasts the speech of the wise, which leads to blessing and security, with the reckless words of the foolish, which bring destruction. A person of integrity speaks truth and is established, while deceitful words lead to ruin. As we refle...

Isaiah 5:24-30 vividly portrays the fire of judgment and the hope of redemption. The passage emphasizes judgment’s swiftness, severity, and certainty. Yet, amid this darkness, there remains an undercurrent of hope. Though delivering a message of impending destruction, Isaiah ultimately points to God’s sovereign plan, where judgment serves as a precursor to redemption. This passage is a sobering re...

After addressing the dangers of corrupt passions and possessions, Isaiah turns to an even deeper issue—corrupt principles. When greed and indulgence dominate society, the next inevitable step is the distortion of truth itself. In Isaiah 5:18-23, the prophet condemns those who redefine morality, calling evil good and good evil, embracing deception, arrogance, and injustice. This woe highlights the...

These verses emphasize the value of loving discipline and correction, which leads to growth and wisdom. The righteous are depicted as those who find favor with God, receive His protection, and experience stability in their lives. In contr...
