    The Gospel Of John: An Introduction Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 31, 2021
     | 1,707 views

    Arguably with no other book, is there a larger disconnect between academic, scholarly understanding, and the way the church reads it. The intro is designed to bridge part of that gap, and explain my own approach to John.

    First of all, a note on my approach: This series uses a literary/narrative approach to John, along the lines proposed by scholars like Adele Berlin, Frank Kermode, Robert Alter, or Charles Talbert, to name just a few. I assume that the author/narrator of John-- who I call "AJ"-- had ...read more

    A Place Of Favor With God (Exodus 33:1-17) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 14, 2023
     | 2,279 views

    After the golden calf, the future between God and Israel is murky, and unsettled. Into that, enter Moses, a man who has God's favor, and who God knows by name, and who has a close relationship with God.

    Today, I want to read through three separate, but related, episodes in Exodus. Each of these three, by themselves, would make a great devotional, or sermon. There's something in each of them that is worth stopping, and just thinking about. But when we combine them, like I think we are ...read more

    Deadly Desires And The Glory Of God - 1 Peter 2:11-12 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 13, 2024
     | 154 views

    We were chosen and exalted for the purpose of showing God’s excellencies, which requires holiness

    1 Peter 2:11 Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. 12 Live such good lives among the gentiles that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. ...read more

    A Prayer For When God Stands Far Off (Psalm 9-10) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 3, 2022
     | 2,811 views

    Or, a prayer for when God doesn't answer, the first time you pray.

    Today, we will work through Psalms 9 and 10. Originally, these two psalms were probably one single song, and they are treated as a single song in the Greek OT (LXX). So we are going to try to work through both, in one sitting. I have total confidence that this will work out. This song divides ...read more

    Believe What The Works Tell You About Jesus (John 10:22-41) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 14, 2022
     | 2,227 views

    Jesus has told the Pharisees who he is. They just aren't willing to truly hear him.

    The past several weeks, we've taken a break from John by studying the "Sons of God," mostly focused on the OT. [I made this its own separate series on sermoncentral, and today's won't make as much sense without reading that first]. Today, I think we are the place where we ...read more

    Unity Of Attitudes - Philippians 4:1-2 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Mar 25, 2022
     | 1,625 views

    How do you reconcile a broken relationship when it's the other person's fault?

    Philippians 4:1 Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends! 2 I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord. 3 Yes, and I ask you, loyal yokefellow, help these women who ...read more

    Rabbit Trail Week #1: The Burnt Offering (Leviticus 1:1-9) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 24, 2022
     | 2,890 views

    Unpacking what the burnt offering is, how to do it, why, and what we can learn as Christians from it. Using Exodus 20:4 as a launch point, as part of my Exodus series.

    Today, I want to start a two week rabbit trail on the topic of OT sacrifice. I should warn you, up front, that this is the most complicated thing I've ever tried to work through in biblical studies. I'll do my best to explain it as simply as possible, and hide as much of the hard stuff as ...read more

    What Kind Of Person Do You Want To Be? (James 1:1-12) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on May 19, 2022
     | 2,622 views

    James encourages us to be all-in for God, responding "in faith" to testings, and steadfastly live in faithfulness toward God and people.

    Who do you want to be? (James 1:1-12) Today, we begin a new series on the letter of James. The sort of weird thing about teaching on James, from my perspective, is that I've done this before. Maybe 10 years ago, I preached through James in two little churches in Kulm and Medina. I'm ...read more

    Loving Your Neighbor: A Broader Perspective (Exodus 21:28-36) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 12, 2022
     | 1,502 views

    Loving your neighbor includes: (1) watching over your goring ox (and mean dogs), (2) taking warnings about dangerous things seriously, (3) putting a fence around your pool. Take safety seriously.

    Quite a few of us, if we were asked to name the ten words/commandments, wouldn't be able to come up with all ten. But for sure one of the ones we would name, is "Don't murder." At first glance, this command is straightforward. God doesn't want his people to kill someone ...read more

    Who Done It? - Sermon On Philippians 2:12-13 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 1, 2023
     | 1,426 views

    God works inside us to cause us to desire and decide good things and to do good things. When he does so, it really is our willing and doing, even though it was caused by God.

    Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. 14 Do everything without ...read more

    Jesus’ Baptism & The Eyes Of Faith - Mark 1:7-9 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 15, 2023
     | 1,117 views

    From the angle of God’s Word Jesus is the spectacular Son of God and magnificent, authoritative Messiah. From the angle of natural, human observation he is a disappointing nobody from nowhere. Failing to see from the biblical angle will result in confusion and doubt.

    Knowing God - 2 Peter 1:3b Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 15, 2024
     | 195 views

    We know knowledge of God is important, but what does it mean, exactly, to know an invisible being in a way that goes beyond knowing about him?

    2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those equal to us in the faith they have received in the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3 his divine power has given us ...read more

    Lights In A Dark World - Philippians 2:14-15 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jun 15, 2024
     | 702 views

    Are you obeying the command in Philippians 2:14, "Do everything without complaining or arguing"?

    Philippians 2:14 Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16 as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of ...read more

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

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 16, 2024
     | 574 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

    Danger: Disguised, Deadly Deceivers! - Matthew 7:15-20 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 18, 2024
     | 329 views

    It is God’s design that we follow leaders. But the false ones deceive and lead away from the narrow road to hell. The way to see past the sheep’s clothing to the actual fruit is by watching for the things that come from the heart and that are not a part of the act.

    Matthew 7:15 Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears ...read more
