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

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 7, 2024
     | 286 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
     | 155 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
     | 209 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
     | 173 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
     | 272 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
     | 174 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
     | 371 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
     | 329 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
     | 278 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
     | 573 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
     | 333 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

  • Praise God When His Help Comes (Isaiah 44:24-28; 45:1-8] Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 6, 2024
     | 357 views

    God sometimes helps us through people we don't like, using means we don't like, to the point we doubt it's actually from God. See God's help, and thank him, regardless of how it comes.

    There is a short list of people in the church who are responsible for proclaiming a message from God to his people. Apostles, teachers, prophets, and evangelists, basically. That's the list. Now, sometimes the specific word from God that needs to be communicated is controversial. If ...read more

  • No Need For Idols (Isaiah 44:6-23) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 2, 2024
     | 288 views

    Idols are appealing when we become afraid. If we're unsure about God, we go elsewhere. God through his prophet says, "No need for idols. I will help." Yahweh is a far better choice than any idol.

    Today we pick back up in our Isaiah series today in Isaiah 44:6. It's kind of a big passage and a big message so I just want to dive right in. Let's start by reading just the first verse, Isaiah 44:6: (6) Thus has said Yahweh, King of Israel, and its Redeemer, Yahweh of Armies: ...read more

  • Tired Of God? (Isaiah 43:22-28; 44:1-5) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 13, 2024
     | 481 views

    God's exiled people are tired of Him. God pushes back, and asks how exactly that's possible, and says He's the one who is tired by their burdens. Nevertheless, a better future awaits them.

    One of the most common questions that any human being can ask another, is this: "How are you doing?" And in my circles, there are a few really common answers to this: "I'm fine. I'm alright. I'm really busy." There's also one more: "I'm ...read more

  • See God's New Thing! (Isaiah 43:16-21) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 6, 2024
     | 511 views

    There are helpful and unhelpful ways to think about the past, and about God's past acts of salvation. God encourages his people to stop thinking about the exodus, and see his new act of salvation.

    I'd like to start today by setting you up, so to speak, and reminding you about your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God proved his love for the world, and his affection, and his faithfulness, by sending Jesus to earth. Jesus, as King, ushered in God's kingdom onto earth. Jesus came to ...read more
