    4 Aspects Of The New Way Of Life (Ephesians 4:25-5:2) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 23, 2025
     | 35 views

    Paul gives four examples, illustrative, not exhaustive, of what this new life/shirt/road in Christ looks like. Specifics, of what God is looking for in a worthy walk.

    Over the last couple of weeks, we've seen Paul starting to pull his entire argument in Ephesians together. God is in the process of creating one holy family, who will live in peace with Him and with each other. Or we can say, God is in the process of creating one holy body-- one person-- with ...read more

    Choose The Right Outfit (Ephesians 4:17-24) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 22, 2025
     | 135 views

    Every day, we wake up, and choose whether we will put on our old way of life-- the ratty, stained, lifestyle-- or if we'll put on the new clothing of righteousness. Choose the clean clothing.

    I'd like to start today by giving a quick overview of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, up to this point. At this point in history, God has now revealed his once secret plan for all of his creation. Paul describes this plan using three different metaphors. The first, is that God is ...read more

    Each Of Us Has A Grace-- A Ministry (Ephesians 4:7-15) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 22, 2025
     | 53 views

    We are one body, but we are not all the same. Jesus has set it up so that each of us builds up the church in our own unique way.

    Today we have the privilege of working through some of the most complicated verses in the entire book of Ephesians. Before we dive in though, we should remind ourselves of last time's verses. Are we feeling a little rusty, when it comes to Ephesians? Paul, up to this point in the letter, has ...read more

    Worthily, Walk Of God's Calling (Ephesians 4:1-6) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 22, 2025
     | 109 views

    If God is making one body, one temple, one family who will live in peace with Him and with each other... we need to walk worthily of our calling to live that way.

    Over the past few weeks, we've spent a lot of time talking about God's once-mysterious plan for the entire created order. This plan can be understood in a couple different ways. One, would be that God is creating one family, made up of all different types of people, who live in peace with ...read more

    How Jesus Feels About Idolatry (Revelation 2:12-28) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 22, 2025
     | 34 views

    Jesus views turning to other gods, as being sexually immoral to your Husband. Also, the persecution will one day be reversed, and we will rule with an iron rod, if we overcome/conquer.

    How Jesus feels about idolatry (Revelation 2:12-28) Today, we will tackle two of Jesus' messages, to two of the seven churches. The first one, that I'll use as kind of skeleton and starting point, is to the angel and his church in Pergamum. About half way through, I'll add in the ...read more

    A Prayer For Spirit-Empowerment (Ephesians 3:14-21) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 22, 2025
     | 25 views

    God will help his people live faithfully, by empowering them through his Holy Spirit, if they ask. So ask, for yourselves, and for your church. Empowerment isn't just about "charismatic" things. It's empowerment for faithfulness also-- and probably faithfulness first.

    Over the past few weeks, we've read about how God is now revealing to his church something that was a closely guarded secret for centuries. God had this hidden, master plan to bring all things together, in heaven and on earth. And what that looks like on earth, is that God is making one ...read more

    Paul, A Truly Blessed Man (Ephesians 3:1-14) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 15, 2025
     | 84 views

    How great a privilege it is, Paul thinks, to get to tell people the gospel.

    Over the last few weeks, we've read what Paul has to say about this huge, cosmic plan that God has for the world. Before God sent Jesus, this cosmos was a terrible mess. There was a dividing wall of sin that existed between God and people. There was a dividing wall that separated out Jew ...read more

    Gentiles, You Aren't Second Class Christians (Ephesians 2:11-22) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 13, 2025
     | 18 views

    Paul draws an application to his Gentile-by-birth readers, from his Eph. 2:1-10 starting point.

    Today we have the privilege of working through Ephesians 2:11-22. Let's turn there, and read just the first word. "Therefore." What "therefore" signals, is that Paul is going to draw some conclusions, and an application, from everything he's just said. But it's ...read more

    God Offers Grace To All (Ephesians 2:1-10) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 5, 2025
     | 41 views

    And that grace is offered to all people, Jew and Gentile, through Jesus, not Moses, to be received by faith in Jesus, not by commitment to the Mosaic covenant.

    Today, we have the privilege of working through Ephesians 2:1-10. But let's start by rereading a little bit from last week. Ephesians 1:22-23: (22) And all things/beings He subjected under his feet, and him He gave as head over all things to/for the church, (23) which is his body--the ...read more

    A Prayer For Spirit Enlightenment (Ephesians 1:15-23) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 3, 2025
     | 69 views

    Enlightenment about God's cosmic plan is something God will give, if we ask. God's plan is far bigger-- cosmic-- than we often realize, and we have been empowered, potentially, more than we think.

    Let's start today by reading part of last week's passage. I'll read from my translation, but feel free to follow along however you'd like. Let's turn to Ephesians 1:7, and we'll read through verse 10: (7) In him (=Jesus) we have the freedom/release through his blood-- ...read more

    We Bless The God Who Blesses Us (Ephesians 1:1-14) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 2, 2025
     | 89 views

    Paul's whole letter, and our whole lives, start right here, at a place of gratitude and praise toward God, for what He's done for us "in Christ."

    An opening note for my readers of this series: Roughly 8 years ago?, I wrote a series of sermons on Ephesians. I wrote them at a time of "almost." Academically/exegetically, I was "almost" comfortable with discourse analysis (Steve Runge style), but I had little idea how to ...read more

    God Gives Second Chances (Ezekiel 18:1-32) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 13, 2025
     | 744 views

    An academically rigorous, 1 week rabbit trail talking about generational punishments/curses, mostly following (and maybe slightly improving on) Margaret Odell's Ezekiel commentary.

    Today, we have the privilege of working through a chapter of the Bible that I've been unsettled about, and wrestled with off and on, and changed my mind back and forth, for over 20 years. Ezekiel 18. If you're not familiar with the passage, that's fabulous. That's great. If you ...read more

    The Servant Who Hears God's Voice (Isaiah 50:4-11) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 13, 2025
     | 452 views

    Sermon's focus is on listening to God. The servant is part of the group of disciples who hear God's voice. The servant suffers, but is confident that he suffers innocently, and that God will vindicate him.

    Our passage today is commonly called the third of the four servant songs in Isaiah 40-55. The other three, famously, are in Isaiah 42, 49, and 53. I've said before that over a century ago, a scholar named Bernard Duhm split off these four songs from the rest of Isaiah 40-55, and treated ...read more

    Feeling Abandoned By God? (Isaiah 49:14-50:3) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 3, 2025
     | 528 views

    Lady Zion feels abandoned by God. God comforts her by saying He will make her beautiful again, and give her children. God also says, she feels abandoned because she was-- but that's about to change.

    A few weeks ago, in Isaiah 47, we read about the fall of Babylon, the capital city of the Babylonian empire. The city was described using female imagery-- as a delicate virgin daughter, as a queen. She was described as being proud, and boastful, and savage in her treatment of God's people. ...read more

    Life Is A Series Of Choices (Numbers 14:1-38) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 3, 2025
     | 695 views

    The fathers of Israel have to make a choice about if they will listen to the voices with faith, or the voices who fear. They make the wrong choice, and now they and their sons will miss God's best.

    Last week, we read the story about how Moses, at God's command, sent 12 men into the promised land to explore it. Before Moses sent them, he specifically asked them to bring back a report about the people living there-- are they strong, or weak, are they few, or many? Are their cities ...read more
