Jason Wesbrooks - Daniel 4: The Humbling of Nebuchadnezzar by Amarillo Church of Christ Sermons
Program for 06/26/2025 SAS Chapel: Daniel 4
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 is sovereign over the world's kingdoms and will humble the prideful. Nebuchadnezzar, the author of Daniel 4, declares how God humbled and restored him through mercy, not merit. This chapter shifts from presumption to punishment to praise, reminding believers that God humbles the proud.
God opposes the proud. King Nebuchadnezzar was proud. We often are proud. We have a good Father who always acts on our behalf. His timing and plans are perfect. But, there are times we trust in ourselves rather than in God. Nebuchadnezzar learned the hard way... which no one likes. God is faithful and wants us to trust His timing and plans. Pastor Rick spoke this message at CrossPoint Church.
Would someone want you on their team? Daniel, even as an outsider, became a transformational team member.

June 1, 2025 AM ~ The True Great One ~ Rev. Charles Marchman
This Sunday we have guest speaker Charles Kimbangi Associate Minister of Christ Church Surbiton Hill speaking on Daniel 4. Charles walks us through King Nebuchadnezzar's story reminding us that God's saves in his timing not ours.
It's amazing at times what you can find when you're looking for something else on your computer screen! I found this gem of a short letter/devotional on my Home Screen and thought it was worth sharing to my listeners. It details a letter written by the third President, Thomas Jefferson, at the request of one of his friends who named his son after Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson wrote a kind and informative short letter that the boy would receive when he reached his age of understanding. Jefferson noted that he took a particular interest in the lad since he bore his name. There is much to be said in Jefferson's words as they offer insight to much biblical admonition with a focus on God's providence. On this episode of 2Days Denarius, we will read and examine this letter, highlighting Jefferson's encouraging words that often reflected the ways and commandments of God. We will also place a magnifying glass on one of the great stories of God's sovereignty and providence from the life of King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4 to better understand God's providence in His world and our lives. A transcript of the letter itself is provided below.Monticello, February 21, 1825This letter will, to you, be as one from the dead. The writer will be in the grave before you can weigh its counsels. Your affectionate and excellent father has requested that I would address to you something which might possibly have a favorable influence on the course of life you have to run, and I too, as a namesake, feel an interest in that course. Few words will be necessary, with good dispositions on your part. Adore God. Reverence and cherish your parents. Love your neighbor as yourself, and your country more than yourself. Be just. Be true. Murmur not at the ways of Providence. So shall the life into which you have entered, be the portal to one of eternal and ineffable bliss. And if to the dead it is permitted to care for the things of this world, every action of your life will be under my regard.

Pastor James Crawford continues the study of Daniel 4, sharing a powerful message on humility and restoration amidst personal distractions and cultural challenges. Reflecting on King Nebuchadnezzar's fall from pride to madness and his eventual worship of God, Pastor James urges believers to heed God's warnings and humble themselves before consequences strike. He connects this to modern struggles with pride, drawing from personal experiences and societal pressures to exalt self over God. Through Nebuchadnezzar's testimony, he emphasizes that no one—not even the proudest—is beyond God's grace. Pastor James calls for heartfelt worship and prayer for those who hurt us, trusting God to sweetly break and restore, offering hope for all.Verse References: Daniel 4 verses 27–37, Galatians 6 verse 7, James 4 verse 6, Psalm 121 verses 1–2, James 4 verse 10Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

The conversation continues! We've gone from Romans 9, with the Potter and His vessels He made for both His glory and for destruction, to the humbling of Job, and God answering Job, to today- the humbling of Nebuchanezzer. We can all learn a lot from these passages in scripture! We can avoid the need for such a massive rebuke by remembering that God is truth and justice, and whatever we may be going through in our lives, that we need to trust that God is doing it for our own refinement and maturing. All trials are tests to find out the truth of our character.

“The Humbling of Nebuchadnezzar” - Daniel 4:19-37
“Nebuchadnezzar's Second Troubling Dream” - Daniel 4:1-18
In Daniel 4, King Nebuchadnezzar has a terrifying dream of a mighty tree being cut down. Daniel reveals its meaning: God will humble Nebuchadnezzar for his pride unless he repents. The king ignores the warning, and one year later, he loses everything—his kingdom, his sanity, and his dignity—living like an animal for seven years. Eventually, he acknowledges God's authority, and God restores him.
I wonder how many neurological or psychological disorders you are familiar with? How about “PTSD” or “ADHD” or “Bi-Polar” or “GAD” or “Agoraphobia” or “panic disorder” or “Manic” or “Schizophrenia”, and the list goes on, doesn’t it? The world of therapists and medications is growing rapidly to treat an ever growing list of dysfunctions in humanity. I wonder what psychologists would say happened to King Nebuchadnezzar about 2600 years ago, as Daniel records it for us in Daniel 4?

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron encourages us to humble ourselves before God does it for us.
This week we talk a bunch of nonsense because we're all tired from a long conference weekend, but, of course, we mostly talk about Daniel Chapter 4. Our main idea is humility; both personal and our role in respectfully helping others toward humility.
In recent weeks ‘Executive Orders’ and “Negotiated Proclamations” have been issued by some of the most powerful people in the world and the results have been very significant. Usually, such powerful documents are political or military or economic in nature but today let’s look at one of the most significant of all time. This document was auto biographical, issued by none other than King Nebuchadnezzar himself, sovereign over the Babylonian empire. The opening paragraph of this remarkable document is unlike any other I’ve ever read: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to the nations and peoples of every language who live in all the world. May you prosper greatly. It is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me. How great are HIS signs, how mighty HIS wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; His dominion endures from generation to generation.” (Daniel 4:1-3)(Click here to see full text, images and links) Today’s Scripture: Daniel 4:1-9.

Scripture Reading: Daniel 4 King Nebuchadnezzar was the sovereign king who conquered the remaining kingdom of Israel in 605 B.C. (some 120 years after the northern 10 tribes had already been conquered by Assyria). Tempted to boast in his own strength and military conquests, Nebuchadnezzar had grown arrogant. God sends him a dream with urgent significance for his life, but the king (with all the wise men of Babylon) can't understand the meaning and thus calls on Daniel to interpret the dream for him. In time, the dream comes true and Nebuchadnezzar is humbled by the sickness of insanity, from which he recovers only after he acknowledges the sovereign reign of the Most High God of Israel. So today, our pride can blind us from seeing our own faults and the ultimate sources of our blessings. Pride blinds us to our own temporality or limitations and to the grandeur and eternality of God. There's only room for one person to be on the saddle of your life: if you're calling all the shots, there's no room for God. Today we need a new vision—Nebuchadnezzar's vision—of the eternal sovereignty and glory of God. Replace your self-confidence with God-confidence (not me, my worth, my rights, my kingdom but God: God's worth, God's ability to work in this situation, God's kingdom.) His works are true and faithful (whereas I'm tempted to lie, sugar-coat, exaggerate, tell half the story.) I can't always keep my word; I can't always fulfill my responsibilities. God can. He does. His ways are just: I've failed and sinned, but all his ways are just: both when he gives and when he takes away, as Job said, blessed be His name. He can humble the proud. C.S. Lewis: “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.” - If you're thinking “I'm horrible”, or “I'm ugly” and always harshly criticizing yourself, that's not humility: you're still thinking of “YOU”. Want to change? Admit you're proud, and ask God for grace to change and grow. James 4:6 “God resists the proud and he gives grace to the humble.”
Tree stumps can very easily represent the negative things in our life; the things we have lost. However, God can use the stumps in our life to spring forth new life in us. Tune in to this third sermon in our For the Trees series.
Daniel 4 tells the story of another dream of King Nebuchadnezzar. But behind the story of the dream is a story of pride. No one likes to be around a prideful person yet at the same time pride manifests itself in a variety of ways we all carry it. In this sermon we explore the essence of pride, the result of pride and how we all might be healed of our pride.
