  • Why Does Jonah Run From God, And Choose Death Over Life? (Jonah 1:1-16) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 25, 2022
     | 2,276 views

    A reading of Jonah, that lets the book tell the story at its own pace.

    Part of being a pastor or teacher in any church, is having this desire deep inside of you to teach through the book of Jonah. You can't help yourself. It preaches too well; it's too good of a story to ignore. Plus, every pastor knows the OT is hard and scary, but they also know they are ...read more

  • Is It A Good Thing, When God Shows Mercy To You? (Jonah 2:1-10) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 30, 2022
     | 1,996 views

    A reading that continues to let Jonah tell its story on its terms, at its pace. We praise our God, who is the One Who Saves us.

    I'm going to begin this morning, simply by rereading Jonah 1. I'm hoping, as we reread it, that you'll realize you understand it better, and differently, than before last week: (1) And the Word of Yahweh came to Yonah the son of Amittai, saying, (2) "Rise! Walk! to Ninevah ...read more

  • Laws On Servitude (Exodus 21:1-11) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 3, 2022
     | 2,229 views

    Do what you have to do to pay the bills (vs. 1-6). And the "law of the daughter," which protects vulnerable women from being mistreated

    Laws on "servitude" (Exodus 21:1-11) The past five weeks, we've explored five different rabbit trails connected to Exodus, one way or another. We talked about burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings. Then, we talked about three keys, of sorts, that help us understand how to read ...read more

  • When God Changes His Mind (Jonah 3:1-10) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 8, 2022
     | 3,189 views

    The king of Assyria knows that there's a chance that God will change his mind, and not bring about the promised judgment. God prefers to forgive, and bless. For three chapters in a row, God has shown mercy, not judgment.

    The book of Jonah began in a surprising way. Yahweh called Yonah to go to Ninevah, and Yonah disobeyed. This is not what prophets do. Prophets obey. But Yonah ran the wrong direction, to the end of the known world, at Tarshish. When that didn't work, he chose death over Yahweh. He refused ...read more

  • How To Respond To Violence, Part 1 (Exodus 21:12-19) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 24, 2022
     | 1,403 views

    How should God's people live toward each other? The OT assumes that we will fight, and badly hurt each other. In the NT, God calls us to live in peace (and gives us his Spirit so we can).

    We live in a time, and a place, when violent people do violent things all the time. The world as a whole feels unsafe, and it feels like it's getting worse. Every day, we get updates about some new terrible act of violence, and we go through life just sort of constantly thinking about it. ...read more

  • Why Yonah Ran (Jonah 4:1-11) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 24, 2022
     | 1,709 views

    Finally, we learn why Yonah ran from the Word of Yahweh, and first chose death over life. Should God give people a chance to repent? Is it wrong, for God to show mercy? And if God did the right thing, who will be Yonah?

    Let's start today by simply rereading Jonah 3. We need to get sucked back into our story, and there's no easier way to do it, than to just read it (NRSV updated): 3 The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying, 2 “Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the ...read more

  • Laws On Violence, Pt. 2: How Bad A Boss Can You Be (Exodus 21:20-27) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 1, 2022
     | 1,279 views

    The OT answers the question, "How bad a boss can you be, and still keep possession of a slave?" The NT answers the question, "How can you be a great boss, in Christ?"

    Today, we continue working through the laws on violence, in Exodus 21. Last week, we read about a few sins that were punishable by death, and a few that weren't. Let's start by simply rereading verses 12-19: (12) A striker of a man-- and he dies-- shall surely be put to death, (13) while ...read more

  • Pick Your Elders Carefully (Titus 1:1-15) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 20, 2022
     | 2,323 views

    Great leaders can strengthen the church; bad leaders can really harm it. So some advice on things to look for, in picking great elders.

    Today we start a new series on Titus. I'm going for the record here, in how little I say about the book before we jump in. Verse 1: (1) Paul, a slave of God. Now, an apostle of Jesus Christ, in accordance with the faith(fulness?) of God's chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth-- ...read more

  • Make The Gospel Look Good (Titus 2:1-15) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 31, 2022
     | 1,921 views

    How should first century Roman women, equal in Christ, act toward their first century Roman husbands? Is equality, or the gospel, more important?

    Our passage today revolves around two related themes: reputation, and the good news about Jesus Christ. At first glance, you might not think that's Paul's focus. It's going to seem like Paul is talking about how men, and women, and slaves, should live in relation to one another. But ...read more

  • Show Grace To Mean, Evil People (Titus 3:1-8) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 10, 2022
     | 2,141 views

    Titus 3:4-5 are rightly celebrated, but in a way that usually misses Paul's point. Show grace to mean people, recognizing that those people are like you used to be, before God washed you and gave you his Spirit.

    Last week, in Paul's letter to Titus, chapter 2, we read how Paul told Titus to set up the church, and the families within the church, to look like the ideal first century Roman household. Especially when you're a fringe religious group, but probably always, it's important to live in a ...read more

  • What's Beneficial? (Titus 3:8-15) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 12, 2022
     | 2,074 views

    A key question, that helps us live productively. Productive things: good works, helping missionaries. Unproductive: foolish arguments/disagreements about the Bible

    Let's start this morning, by rereading last week's verses, Titus 3:1-8. I want you to hear something in Titus 3:8, in particular. But it's much easier to hear it, if we take a running start at it: (1) Remind them, to the rulers and the authorities, to be subject/submissive, to obey, ...read more

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

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 12, 2022
     | 1,735 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

  • Stubbornness: A Virtue, And A Vice (Exodus 7:8-24) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 22, 2021
     | 2,737 views

    Being stubborn can be a good or bad thing, depending on: (1) if you're right, and (2) if you are stubborn in the right way, with love, and gentleness.

    Let's start today by simply rereading Exodus 7:1-7: (7:1) And Yahweh said to Moses, "Look! I have made you God to Pharaoh, while Aaron your brother shall be your prophet. (2) You shall speak all that I command you, while Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, and he will ...read more

  • The Making Of A Faithful People (Joshua 5:1-12) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 22, 2021
     | 3,265 views

    Joshua isn't simply about the conquest of Canaan. God is shaping his people, into truly becoming "his" people. (They'd been neglecting circumcision, and the Passover.)

    Let's start today by simply reading our passage, Joshua 5:1-12: (1) And then, as soon as all the kings of the Amorites heard, who [were] on the other side of the Jordan to the west, with all the kings of the Canaanites who [were] at the sea, that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the ...read more

  • Take Off One Sandal-- The Place Your (Two) Feet Touch Is Holy (Joshua 5:13-6:27) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 23, 2021
     | 2,545 views

    Why one sandal? And what does "holy" mean here, and in general?

    Last week, AJ (Author of Joshua) began chapter 5 by messing with us. He reminded us that all the kings of the land were terrified by the Israelites, and their hearts had melted. It was then, at that time, that Yahweh commanded Joshua to make swords. We were all excited, thinking, NOW. NOW ...read more
