  • 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
     | 2,116 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
     | 1,984 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
     | 1,088 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
     | 2,645 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
     | 2,040 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
     | 2,147 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

  • The Gospel Of John: An Introduction Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 31, 2021
     | 1,430 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

  • Getting Jesus Right (John 1:1-18) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 1, 2022
     | 2,762 views

    Who is Jesus, fully, really?

    Everything for humans depends on getting Jesus right. We have to understand who Jesus is. What he came for. What he accomplished. And what he wants. If we get this wrong, we end up outside of God's kingdom, looking in. We end up darkness. We perish. But if we get all of this right, and ...read more

  • Point People To Jesus (John 1:19-28) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 2, 2022
     | 1,664 views

    John the Baptist understands that Jesus is important, and he is not. His sole job, is to point people to Jesus.

    Last week, in John 1:1-18, AJ (Author of John) started his gospel by focusing on 2 people, telling us who they are, and what they came to do. The first, and easily more important, is Jesus. Jesus is the Word become flesh. He is the preexistent one. He is Life. He is Light. He is God. To ...read more

  • Seek God's Mouth (Joshua 9:1-27) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 2, 2022
     | 1,481 views

    Should we root for the Gibeonites? Cunning: Knowing what you want, and knowing how to get it.

    Let's start this morning by reading Joshua 9:1-4: (1) And then, as soon as the kings heard who were beyond the Jordan in the hill country and in the Shephelah and in all the coast of the great sea in front of Lebanon--the Hittites and Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and ...read more

  • When God Brings The Hail (Exodus 9:13-35) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 2, 2022
     | 2,182 views

    (1) Maybe the best way to appreciate how "big" God is, is to go outside. (2) Maybe not all the Egyptians are forever, hopelessly, stubborn.

    Before we start reading our passage this morning, think about the worst storms you've ever been in. Try to remember the biggest rain storms, and the thunder, and the hail, and the blizzards. When I do this, I tend to think about four stories, two of which I'll share. One day, when I ...read more

  • We Come To Jesus In Steps (John 1:29-42) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 4, 2022
     | 2,521 views

    No one starts of knowing Jesus, or who he is. And that's okay. What's important, is that you "come to" Jesus, and "abide" with him. You can't come to Jesus, while keeping your (objective) distance.

    Beginning in John 1:19, we find ourselves reading the events of a single week in the life of John the Baptist and Jesus. Let's start today by simply rereading 1:19-28, day 1. (19) And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites in order that they ...read more

  • Come And See Jesus (John 1:43-51) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 5, 2022
     | 3,231 views

    Nathaniel is open-minded enough to come see Jesus for himself, and overcomes his initial skepticism. This makes him the ideal Israelite. Also, Jesus is not a ladder. Angels come "to" Jesus, not "upon" him.

    This week, starting in John 1:43, we find ourselves on day 4. Let's just start there: (43) On the next day, he (Jesus) wished to depart to Galilee, and he finds Philip, and Jesus says to him, "Follow me." Already in the gospel of John, we've seen a number of people take the ...read more

  • Our God Is A Great Warrior (Joshua 10:1-11) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 5, 2022
     | 2,060 views

    It's maybe more helpful to describe God as the "More Powerful One," than to call him "All-Powerful." We have good theology, but we talk about God in ways that make talk of "omnipotence" pointless. God has your back. And God fights for you.

    Joshua 10 is complicated, and I'm not sure how to teach it. Normally, the way stories work, is that there is a flow to them-- an order. One thing naturally leads to another, which leads to another. Stories look like life looks. Everything happens in sequence. In chapter 10, AJ bends the ...read more

  • Jesus Offers A Better Drink (John 2:1-11) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 6, 2022
     | 3,494 views

    The wine Jesus gives, is far superior to Judaism's water. Celebrate the grace given to you in Christ.

    Our story continues this week in John 2. In the series of days we've seen so far in the gospel of John, this is day 7. Now, before I do anything else, I want to say this up front: I'm not sure I've ever studied a passage before, and seen so many gifted scholars come to so many ...read more
