    Lord, Teach Us To Pray (Luke 11:1-13) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on May 17, 2026
     | 32 views

    There are things we know we need (food, forgiveness) and things we'd like (not to be tested). Also things we might not know we need (filling of the Holy Spirit, a focus on God's name and kingdom).

    A wise man once said that when you do pulpit supply somewhere, that you should always write down what sermons you preached at that church. You think you'll never forget, but you do. And the last thing you want, is to show up at a familiar church, get 30 seconds in, and hear someone whisper, ...read more

    The Fall Of Jerusalem, Temple Destruction, And Jesus' Return (Mark 13) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 15, 2026
     | 130 views

    A one week rabbit trail, closing off the Zechariah series. A popular, but misunderstood, passage perhaps. What are the signs Jesus will return? How does it relate to Jerusalem's fall?

    Last week, in our study of Zechariah 14, we found ourselves talking about end-times, end of the world type stuff. Zechariah foretold a series of future events. One day, the city of Jerusalem would be captured. Some of God's people would suffer. Some, would manage to escape. There would be ...read more

    The Destruction Of Jerusalem, End Of All Things, And A Brand New Day (Zechariah 14) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 15, 2026
     | 158 views

    Zechariah foretells of Jerusalem's coming destruction, and then, after that, of a very different type of new day. Who is Jerusalem? When will this happen?

    Today, we have the privilege wrestling with what might be the most mysterious, and most debated, chapter in the entire book of Zechariah-- chapter 14. I'm pretty sure I've said that more than once, but each time, it's felt like it must be true. What could be harder, than Zechariah 14? ...read more

    God Does Not Give Up (Zechariah 12:1-14; 13:1-6) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2026
     | 127 views

    It'd be easy to think that the dark, scary passage of Zechariah 11 marks the end of God's relationship with his people. But here, God steps in, and announces what He will do next. God does not give up.

    This morning, we continue our Zechariah series, by entering into the even-harder part of the book. Today, we will fly a little higher above the text and try to read Zechariah 12:1-13:6 all at once. There's two huge benefits to this-- first, it's one single message. Second, flying higher ...read more

    When God Walks Away (Zechariah 11:1-17) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 13, 2026
     | 76 views

    God's people reject the new leadership He gave them, and so He rejects them. Walks away, and sends an even worse replacement. A dark passage.

    Last week, we worked our way through Zechariah 10. Let's start today by reading the first five verses, Zechariah 10:1-5: (1) Ask from Yahweh, rain in the time of the latter rain-- [from] Yahweh, The One making storm clouds, while rain showers He gives to them-- to each one, vegetation in the ...read more

    Tough Situations Require Tough Leaders (Zechariah 10:1-12) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 9, 2026
     | 161 views

    With a bonus, kind of classic charismatic intro along the lines of John G. Lake. "Ask for rains in the time of latter rains." Charismatic use isn't really what Zechariah means, but it's a good word nonetheless.

    Let's continue our Zechariah series this morning by reading the first three verses from Zechariah 10. So, Zechariah 10:1-3: (1) Ask from Yahweh, rain in the time of the latter rain-- [from] Yahweh, The One making storm clouds, while rain showers He gives to them-- to each one, vegetation in ...read more

    Cherished By God (Zechariah 9:1-17) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 7, 2026
     | 131 views

    The reason God is coming as a Warrior for his people, is because He loves and cherishes them. Things we know, intellectually, without really believing it, perhaps.

    This morning, we continue our study of Zechariah. Up to this point in Zechariah, to me at least, it's felt like a series where you have to put on your big boy pants, and really work at it. There's been nothing terribly easy about this book. But today, it's where things start to get ...read more

    God's People Get 5 Star Reviews (Zechariah 8:1-17) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 6, 2026
     | 108 views

    God lets his post-exilic people in on his plan-- there are things He will do for them, and there are things He expects from them-- hard work, honesty, righteousness. If this plan works, the end result will be a faithful, bustling, righteous city.

    In many workplaces, the workday begins with a meeting. A manager will call all the employees together, and he/she will give everyone a big picture overview of the plan for the day. The boss will tell everyone, "These are the tasks that have to get done. This is what I will do today-- this ...read more

    Loving Each Other>>fasting (Zechariah 7:8-14) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 30, 2026
     | 83 views

    God calls his people to focus on the weightier matters of the law: loyalty, compassion, just courts, not plotting evil.

    Last week, we entered into a new section of Zechariah that runs from chapter 7 through chapter 8. It's often described as a prophetic sermon. Today's verses directly build off of last week's, and the simplest way to launch today, is just to reread our verses from last week. So ...read more

    A Life Aimed Toward God (Zechariah 7:1-7) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 14, 2026
     | 210 views

    Sometimes, our religious practices are more important to us, than to God. And God asks three questions, to help the post-exilic community (and us) wrestle with what's actually important to him.

    This morning, we continue our study of the book of Zechariah. Today, we find ourselves entering into a new section of Zechariah that runs from chapter 7 to chapter 8. This little section of Zechariah is often described as being a collection of prophetic sermons. It's mostly pretty ...read more

    God And His War Horses, Antsy To Bring Judgment (Zechariah 6:1-8) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 11, 2026
     | 175 views

    God sometimes holds back judgment, for various reasons, for a time. But when that time is out-- watch out. Whether that judgment is scary, or reassuring, depends on whether God is fighting for you, or against you.

    Today, we have the privilege of tackling the first eight verses of Zechariah chapter 6. The first few times I read these verses, I thought that there wasn't much there. It seemed confusing, to be sure, but it also seemed like the type of passage where it's difficult to preach a full ...read more

    God Vs. The Fraudsters And Thieves (Zechariah 5:1-11) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 15, 2026
     | 219 views

    God announces He will remove all people who defraud, and cheat, and steal. Given coincidentally right at the height of the Somalian daycare/healthcare scandal in Minneapolis.

    Today, we have the privilege of tackling Zechariah 5. This is a tricky passage, in many ways, most of which I'm totally planning to hide from you today. But if you're one of those who lean nerd, and who consider yourself to be a good Berean, who tests what you hear before you choose ...read more

    God's Servants: Channels Of Golden Oil (Zechariah 4:1-14) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 6, 2026
     | 419 views

    Most of what God does in the world, He does through his Spirit-empowered people, who are channels for his grace. A very high view of ministry; a very high calling.

    Today, we have the privilege of entering into perhaps the most mysterious of all of Zechariah's visions. It's a passage where I feel like God opened it up to me in stages, and at each stage, I felt these bursts of pleasure and happiness. This is also a passage with rich symbolism-- but ...read more

    The High Priest Joshua, With Fellow Priests-- A Sign Of Things To Come (Zechariah 3:1-10) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 2, 2026
     | 463 views

    The angel of Yahweh deals with a potentially huge fly in the ointment-- the high priest Joshua's guilt. The adversary's criticism is rejected; Joshua is cleansed, and commissioned, and challenged.

    Today, we continue our Zechariah series by entering into Zechariah's fourth vision. Before we dive in, let me offer you a quick recap of the message of the three visions we've studied so far. These visions have been visions that gave hope to God's people at a very difficult time in ...read more

    God's Vision: A City Without Measure (Zechariah 2:1-13) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2026
     | 294 views

    You need to think big, and measure big, to keep up with God's visions. God is able to do far more than we think or ask. Also, what does it look like to flee from Babylon today (cf. Revelation 18:4)

    Today, we continue our Zechariah series, in Zechariah chapter 2. In this chapter, we get to read Zechariah's third vision, and then we have an oracle that builds on that vision. But before we dive in, we need to go back to the first vision. What Zechariah saw first, is something we need to ...read more
