  • Joshua's Final Words, Part 2 (Joshua 24:1-33) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022
     | 2,010 views

    Joshua calls them to make a deliberate choice-- for Yahweh, or other elohim. And he warns them, they will fail, and God's wrath will come. That said, he and his family will serve Yahweh.

    Last week, in Joshua 23, we read what we thought were Joshua's last words. They were, really. Just, it was only first half of his farewell. And the focus of those words was on the warning. As a reminder, I'm going to reread verses 14-16: 14 “And now I am about to go the way of all the ...read more

  • Jesus Gave People To The Church, As Gifts To Fix/Equip Them (Ephesians 4:7-16, Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022
     | 1,679 views

    What is the relationship between leaders and laity? Their job, and our job.

    Over the years, I've read my fair share of commentaries and academic journal articles on the Bible. I have never, ever, read more passionate-- and even angry-- scholars on any other subject, than I have on today's verses. At first, I was surprised by this-- amused, really, if I'm ...read more

  • How Rich Are We, In Christ, Right Now? (1 Corinthians 4:1-21, Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022
     | 1,151 views

    Are we kings, already? The answer is "yes" and "no." But our riches are for service, to be used in humility. Not to lift ourselves up.

    Last week, we worked through 1 Corinthians 4. Admittedly, I didn't really explain the last half of the chapter at all. I think I had three reasons for this. None of which are very important, but here they are: (1) Chapter 4 hangs together as a single argument, and I wanted to catch the ...read more

  • Will You Stay Or Will You Go Now? (John 6:60-71) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 31, 2022
     | 2,535 views

    Chapter 6 has moved from huge crowds trying to make Jesus king, down to only 12. It's all falling apart, maybe. The question is, will you join the Judeans, and walk away from Jesus, or abide with Christ?

    This week, we will make our final push to get through John 6. We were supposed to read this entire chapter at once, as a single story. But instead, it took me four weeks. Let's start this morning, one last time, at John 6:22. This picks up our story after Jesus fed the 5,000 people, and ...read more

  • Do The Job Jesus Gives You (Ephesians 4:7-16, Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 31, 2022
     | 1,565 views

    Jesus has given you a job, to build up the church. Do it, and if you need leader's help to be effective, seek them out so they can fix you.

    Last week, we started working through Ephesians 4:7-16. We didn't get far, only up through verse 12. It's a difficult passage, and I guess I talked a lot. This morning, I want to start by quickly retracing Paul's argument, and then hopping back in at verse 13. Verse 7 reads like ...read more

  • Unrepentant Sin Can't Be Tolerated Among Us (1 Corinthians 5:1-13) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 1, 2022
     | 1,093 views

    We must live in purity and truth, as a people dedicated to God, who celebrate Jesus as our Passover lamb. We live unleavened lives.

    Starting in chapter 5, Paul begins addressing specific issues in the Corinthian church. Some of these issues have been reported to him by members of the church. Other issues are questions that the church has brought to him. And so Paul works his way through the questions, one at a time. In ...read more

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

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 3, 2022
     | 2,431 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

  • There Are No Closet Christians (John 7:1-52) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 3, 2022
     | 1,774 views

    Nicodemus tries to thread the needle, and secretly follow Jesus. This doesn't work. If you are silent about Jesus, you haven't really "come to" him.

    This morning, we find ourselves (somehow) in John 7. Throughout the gospel of John, we have found people confronted with one basic choice-- will they give their allegiance to Jesus, or not? Some people, hearing Jesus' words, and learning, have come to place their trust in Jesus. ...read more

  • Jesus Is The Better Light (John 8:12-13; Lev. 23:33-44; Exodus 13:17-22) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 6, 2022
     | 1,775 views

    Jesus is our pillar of fire.

    If you're following along with me in your own Bibles, in the gospel of John, you'll notice that this week we come to the story of the adulterous woman. This story may or may not be an authentic tradition about Jesus-- my guess, which is probably worth nothing, is that it is. It ...read more

  • It's Better To Get Ripped Off (1 Corinthians 6:1-11) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 6, 2022
     | 1,128 views

    If your brother in Christ rips you off, eat the money. If you can't, or aren't willing, go to the elders, not the legal system. Also, a warning: the unrighteous don't inherit God's kingdom

    I'd like to begin today by reading something from John G. Lake, somewhere in The Collected Writings of John G. Lake: "Beloved, there is a deep, passionate yearning in my soul that above all else this congregation may set forth, to the praise of God, such a character of righteousness in ...read more

  • Live A Clean And Holy Life (Ephesians 4:17-24) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 6, 2022
     | 1,673 views

    If you don't live clean, you won't be able to build up God's family. Also, an Ephesians-based gospel message-- is it truly Christ you've heard preached?

    Over the last three weeks, we worked our way through Ephesians 4:1-16. If we don't understand, or remember, these verses, we're not going to be able to really hear today's passage right. So I want to start by reminding us of the overall flow of Paul's argument. Paul had one ...read more

  • What Makes Jesus' Yoke Light? (Matthew 11:1-30) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022
     | 2,179 views

    Jesus' expectations are high (Matthew 5-7). So how can he say his yoke is a light burden? Jesus' yoke is not optional, and not secondary. You come to Jesus, in part, by taking on his yoke.

    What makes Jesus' yoke light? (Matthew 11:1-30) We were doing family devotions the other night, and I was so proud of two of them, and found their insights so helpful, that I thought I'd sidetrack for a week and just make a record of this for myself. And the best way I know to do that, ...read more

  • Believing In Jesus Is Not Enough (John 8:12-59) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022
     | 2,351 views

    In John, there are a cluster of verbs Jesus wants from us, to be full disciples, and we have to hold them all together. If we focus too hard on "believing," we will misunderstand Jesus, and what he wants.

    Last week, we read just two verses from John 8, spending the rest of our time in Leviticus 23 and Exodus 13. I scratched my itch to get back to the OT, and I'm ready to take another shot at this. I say that, but this is probably the most depressing chapter (I hope!) in the entire gospel of ...read more

  • Jesus Gives Sight, To Those Who Want It (John 9:1-41) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 8, 2022
     | 3,217 views

    Jesus gives physical sight, and spiritual sight. By chapter's end, the only blind ones left are the Pharisees. Have to be open-minded, and know what you don't know.

    At this point in the gospel of John, some of you are maybe feeling a little confused. John is not a very easy book. Jesus' words seem complicated-- they are "from above," as he is from above, and we struggle to climb up, and view things from above, and understand them from ...read more

  • Jesus Is The Better Shepherd (John 10:1-21) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 10, 2022
     | 2,049 views

    John's readers who have chosen to hear Jesus, and follow him, and become part of his flock, have upgraded their shepherd. Jesus is a better shepherd than the Pharisees.

    Let's start today by simply reading John 10:1: (1) Truly, truly, I say to you, the one not entering through the gate/door into the inner courtyard of the sheep, but going up from some other place-- that one, a thief, he is, and a robber. When we read this, we should notice something, ...read more
