  • Questions That Need An Answer (Isaiah 40:12-31) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 7, 2024
     | 1,553 views

    The questions push people to believe what they know: God is great; problems (and human empires like Babylon) are small.

    Our passage today is built around a series of questions. You might find these questions comically easy to answer. Parts of this might feel a bit like Sunday school when you were very little. But work with me this morning. Multiple times, I'm going to ask you the question the prophet asks. ...read more

  • Tripping On Jesus (Luke 7:17-35) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 7, 2024
     | 1,245 views

    In one key way, Jesus isn't the Messiah people (including John) expected. Are we ok that this piece is missing, or does it make us trip on the idea that Jesus is Messiah, and thus trip on God? A narrative/literary approach to Luke.

    Today, I'm going to try to tackle a few interconnected episodes. It's kind of a lot, but this whole section teaches one main thing, and if we want to hear that one thing, we need to grab it all at once. The simplest onramp to today's verses is to begin, simply, by rereading last ...read more

  • God Takes The Nations/Idols To Court (Isaiah 41:1-29) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 18, 2024
     | 979 views

    God makes his case that He, not idols, are running the world. Mystery dude from the east, is God's servant sent to bring his people home.

    In my introduction to Isaiah 40-55, I talked about how one of the challenges to teaching on this part of the Bible, is that these chapters divide up into bigger chunks of material than we can comfortably handle all at once. And honestly, I find that kind of stressful. I can feel myself getting ...read more

  • Hosting Jesus, The Vip (Luke 7:36-50) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 28, 2024
     | 1,061 views

    One host fails, but another rises up, and gives Jesus the welcome he deserves. The passage is an illustration of how and why people tripped on Jesus (Luke 7:31-35).

    One of the things we've talked about several times in the gospel of Luke, is the idea of God "visiting" his people. That's a big part of today's message, so let's read Luke 1:68, to get us off on the right foot: I'll read from the RSV (and here, the translation ...read more

  • God's Servant, The Justice-Bringer (Isaiah 42:1-9) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 28, 2024
     | 783 views

    God commissions and empowers his servant to produce "justice" for the nations. "Justice" here= "God's desired way of life." It's done, through gentle, careful teaching. The servant is Israel, Jesus, and the church.

    This is going to be a pretty ambitious sermon today, so let's dive right in. Isaiah 42:1: (1) LOOK! My servant, [Isaiah 41:8, 9; 34:10; 44:1, 2; 45:4], I am upholding him, [Isaiah 41:10] my chosen one [Isaiah 41:8, 9; 43:10; 44:1, 2; 45:4], my soul/inner being has delighted in [or: ...read more

  • Can You Truly Know An Invisible God? (Exodus 33:18-23) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 19, 2023
     | 1,355 views

    Moses doesn't know God, the way God knows him, because God hasn't fully revealed himself. And so he asks to see God's glory, to fix that. But what is God's glory?

    Last week, we left off in the middle of our story. We pushed right up against arguably the most famous, well-known verses in all of Exodus. And I just wanted to stop before I got to them, and give them the time they deserve. At the same time, this is a really complicated passage. I could ...read more

  • Celebrating God's Goodness (Exodus 34:1-27) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 24, 2023
     | 3,028 views

    God graciously renews his covenant with Israel, because of his goodness, and kindness, and grace. We celebrate God's goodness, but we do that from a position of obedience.

    Last Sunday, for the second straight week, we left off right in the middle of our story. Ever since the golden calf, God and Moses have been working out what kind of future there can be, for God and Israel. Moses has been trying to persuade God that Israel is still his people. Moses still wants ...read more

  • Hearing The First Six Trumpets (Revelation 8:1-9:21) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on May 26, 2023
     | 1,417 views

    The trumpet judgments, are God's call to the world to repent, and come to him. But at 9:21's end, no one listens. A no-rapture, academically rigorous reading of Revelation.

    Let's begin today by taking a step back, and reminding ourselves of the big picture of Revelation, starting in chapter 5. We need to somehow keep at least three chapters together in our mind, for today's passage to make sense. In Revelation 5, the Lamb, Jesus Christ, suddenly appears in ...read more

  • 9 Marks Of The Demonic (Revelation 9:1-11, 20-21) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 4, 2023
     | 1,556 views

    A second look at the 5th trumpet-- the demonic, trans locust horde, released to harm people, and bring them to their senses. Despite this, people still serve demons. By themselves, God's judgments don't do what's needed.

    Last week, we worked our way through Revelation 8 and 9, covering six of the seven trumpets. I tried to give you the big picture, and cover a lot of ground. But if I'm honest, I did so as a coward. At one critical point, I got nervous, and decided to teach it in a way that wouldn't be ...read more

  • People Aren't Hopelessly Wicked: John Is Recommissioned, As Prophet To All People (Rev. 10:1-11) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 12, 2023
     | 1,368 views

    God's judgments don't stand alone, or work alone. He commissions John, and then the 2 witnesses, to testify about Jesus. People turn, when we obey our commission.

    This morning, we have the privilege of working our way through Revelation 10. This is a great chapter. I really enjoyed studying it, and wrestling with it. But it caused me all kinds of fits, because it's a chapter that can't be understood by itself. Until you hear the OT echoes, and ...read more

  • We, The Church, Are The Two Witnesses (Revelation 11:1-19) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 18, 2023
     | 1,282 views

    Here, the church joins John in giving clear testimony about Jesus. We have a ministry that combines power, with suffering. Through this combo, the world turns, fears God, and gives Him glory. A no-rapture, academically rigorous reading of Revelation.

    This week, we have the privilege of working our way through Revelation 11. This is a rich, complex chapter. It's also a chapter where there's a lot of debate about how to read it. A friend of mine has a study Bible, and his notes told him that the chapter should be read literally. But ...read more

  • Why Satan Hates A Good-Looking Woman (Revelation 12:1-17) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 30, 2023
     | 2,031 views

    Satan is a four-time loser, and he takes out his frustration on the church. The church lives in the wilderness, like Hagar, until Jesus returns.

    Today, we have the privilege of working through Revelation 12. This chapter is going to have a different feel, than much of what we've read so far. We've gotten used to working with symbols, and images, and not taking things literally. And that hasn't changed. But what's ...read more

  • Our Fight With Satan's Minion, Beast #1 (Revelation 13:1-10) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 17, 2023
     | 1,439 views

    Satan responds to his losses, by summoning Beast #1 from the sea. Beast #1 =Human power structures, used to attack Christians and deceive people into giving allegiance to the Beast, rather than Jesus.

    Today, we begin working our way through Revelation 13. We will cover roughly half today, and the other half next week. Many Christians today find chapter 13 to be one of the most interesting, and thought-provoking, parts of the entire book of Revelation. We will hear about two beasts, summoned ...read more

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

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 24, 2022
     | 1,328 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
     | 1,605 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
