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

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 25, 2022
     | 2,346 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
     | 2,049 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
     | 2,347 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
     | 3,317 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
     | 1,483 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
     | 1,798 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
     | 1,364 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

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

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 22, 2021
     | 2,865 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
     | 3,416 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
     | 2,594 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

  • When The People Sin, And God Does Nothing (Joshua 7:1-24) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 26, 2021
     | 2,467 views

    When God does nothing, the simplest things become impossible.

    Last week, we read about the conquest of Jericho. I tried to raise all sorts of weird, unpleasant questions, because I think the story raises these questions. Why did Yahweh mark off Jericho as dedicated to himself? Why were the Israelites supposed to kherem the city-- devote every single ...read more

  • Yahweh Vs. The Last Resorter (Exodus 8:1-15) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 26, 2021
     | 1,611 views

    When people hit rock bottom, they will tell God anything-- sincerely. But what happens after God helps them?

    Let's start today by rereading a portion of last week's plague, the Nile River turning to blood. Starting in Exodus 7:19: (19) and Yahweh said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, Take your staff, and stretch out your hand upon the waters of Egypt-- upon their rivers, upon their canals, ...read more

  • God Will Not Be Mocked (Exodus 8:16-32) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 30, 2021
     | 3,530 views

    Mocking God: telling him one thing, and then doing another.

    Let's start today by reminding ourselves about the frogs, and where things stand with Yahweh, and Moses, and Aaron, and Pharaoh. Exodus 8:1 (I didn't realize how different the Hebrew numbering was until I'd finished last week, and I'm too lazy to change it; my bad; English Bibles ...read more

  • Our Encouraging God (Joshua 8:1-29) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 31, 2021
     | 2,810 views

    After the setback at Ai, God encourages Joshua, and nudges him back toward Himself, and the job at hand. God is good, and loving, and encouraging.

    Many of us can read the exact same words in the Bible, and draw completely different understandings from it. Some of you, when you hear me say this, think I'm talking about how Christians argue over meaning and interpretation. But I'm actually talking about tone. Let's open to ...read more

  • Will Yahweh Be A Big God, For You? (Exodus 9:1-12) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 31, 2021
     | 2,840 views

    When we were kids, we knew the right answer, and lived the right answer. Now, though? Yahweh is The One Who Decides What Happens Next.

    Let me start this morning, by asking two questions. These aren't rhetorical. Feel free to answer: Up to this point in Exodus, what plagues have we seen? (1) The Nile, and every body of water, turn to blood. (2) Frogs, everywhere. (3) Flies. (4) Gnats. And when we focus on Yahweh, what ...read more
