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

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 13, 2025
     | 72 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
     | 37 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
     | 46 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
     | 92 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

    God, The Good Shepherd, Will Bring You Home (Isaiah 49:7-14) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 7, 2024
     | 351 views

    God promises his exiled people He will bring them from shame to honor, from exile to home, from being prisoners to freedom.

    The last few weeks, we've spent a fair bit of time studying, and circling around, Isaiah 49:1-6. These verses (I've argued) are the words of the exilic prophet, who feels like his ministry to Israel has been a waste. He's accomplished nothing. He's poured out his strength for ...read more

    A Song For Hard-Working Men (Psalm 127) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 2, 2024
     | 220 views

    A message for a men's retreat, talking about men as provider and protector, and work, and wealth, and family, and inflation.

    A song for hard-working men (Psalm 127) This morning, we will be talking a lot about practical, everyday parts of life. We'll talk about work, and wealth, and family. We'll talk about how a man provides, and protects. We'll be talking about our role, and God's. Parts of what I ...read more

    Praise Yahweh, Our Loyal God (Psalm 106) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 24, 2024
     | 252 views

    God's loyalty is good, and forever. The psalmist knows it's time to appeal to that loyalty, and to God, and move forward to a better future with God.

    If you've ever been to a large amusement park, or zoo, or national/state park, you know that one of the most helpful things you can find there is a giant map with a little dot somewhere on it that says, "You are here." It's easy to get lost in the bigness of what you're ...read more

    The Servant Of Isaiah 49 In Luke-Acts Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 19, 2024
     | 256 views

    Part 2 of a rabbit trail exploring how the servant's calling is picked up not just by Jesus, but also by Ananias, Paul and Barnabas, in Acts. We are all to be lights, and "salvation," up to the ends of the earth.

    Two weeks ago, we worked our way through Isaiah 49:1-6. When I taught on it, I said that these are the words of God's exilic prophet. The prophet feels like his ministry has been a waste of his time and energy. It's accomplished nothing. And God responds to him, not by arguing with him, ...read more

    Jesus, Filling Up Israel's Gaps (Isaiah 7) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 9, 2024
     | 348 views

    Builds off Brandon D. Crowe's article "Fulfillment in Matthew as Eschatological Reversal." Broadening people's perspectives on how the NT "fulfills" the OT.

    Today marks an expected rabbit trail off our rabbit trail. I'm going to try to introduce you to one of the most complicated subjects in all of biblical study-- the way the NT uses the OT. And then next week, we will inch our way back closer to the rabbit trail I'd planned on taking. ...read more

    God's Servant, The Solution To Stubbornness And Rebellion (Isaiah 49:1-6) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 11, 2024
     | 247 views

    God's prophet feels he's served for nothing; it's all been a waste, and meaningless. God responds by giving him a global ministry. An encouragement to pastors, and teachers, and volunteers, in particular.

    If you're seeking to understand Isaiah 40-55, and make sure you get it right, today's passage is absolutely the most important in this entire part of the book. Everything builds up to Isaiah 49, and everything that follows, builds off of it. There are many approaches to these chapters as ...read more

    Listen, To Receive God's Best (Isaiah 48:1-22) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 5, 2024
     | 448 views

    God's people have failed to listen once, and missed God's best. God here gives them a second chance, letting them know He's not angry despite their idolatry.

    One of the hardest things to do in the entire world, is to listen when someone gives you good advice. Listening requires a lot from you. It requires an openness to unpleasant possibilities-- the possibility that you're wrong, that you don't know everything, that someone else knows more ...read more

    What Is Holiness? (Leviticus 19-20) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 27, 2024
     | 394 views

    Holiness is a common, fuzzy word. But basically it comes to the idea of "dedication." God is dedicated to his people; God expects them to mirror Him, and be dedicated to Him the same way.

    Today, we are going to rabbit trail for just a week, and talk about holiness. One of the hardest things to explain in the entire Bible, in my opinion, is the idea of holiness. The Bible often tells us that God is holy, and when the Bible tells us this, it tends to be in very serious, weighty ...read more

    Lady Babylon, Brought Low By God (Isaiah 47:1-15) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 10, 2024
     | 348 views

    God promises He will soon take vengeance on Lady Babylon, stripping her of everything, because of how she mistreated His people. This promise gives hope, and it helps people not be overly impressed by her.

    At the start of many movies and TV shows, there's a disclaimer. Portions of this program may be offensive. They bother particular kinds of viewers. And this program isn't necessarily in line with the network which hosts it. This is the kind of sermon that probably needs lots of ...read more

    Carry, Or Be Carried? (Isaiah 46:1-13) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 26, 2024
     | 710 views

    God has always, and will always carry you. The alternatives-- idols-- can't carry you; they will bleed you financially, and weigh you down, and you'll carry them. God encourages his people to be smart, and choose Him.

    By the time they've reached high school, every straight A student knows that there's one type of assignment, above all others, that's difficult and annoying: the group project. When you get put in a group of three or four students, inevitably, one of two things happens. You either ...read more

    Should We Ask God Tough Questions, Or Not? (Isaiah 45:9-25) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 16, 2024
     | 367 views

    Some Christians think it's ok; others would never dare. Can questions make God angry, and put us in danger? Or does God welcome the questions?

    I'd like to start today by reading the first five verses of our passage, using the NET translation. As I read, just try to think about one thing: Is it okay to challenge God, or to ask God questions about what He's doing? Isaiah 45:9-13 (NET): 9 One who argues with his Creator is in ...read more
