  • It's Not Too Late To Learn From God's Judgments On You (Isaiah 42:18-43:7) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on May 14, 2024
     | 584 views

    When we live in rebellion, and life falls apart, sometimes it's because that's God's judgment. 2+2 sometimes equals 4. God wants us to learn from his judgments.

    Imagine, if you will, a married couple having an argument. One spouse accuses the other of being difficult, or pig-headed, or lazy, or unreasonable, or something. Some harsh words are said by one party. The spouse on the receiving end of it looks at the other, and says, "Hey, wait. ...read more

  • Bring Out A Blind And Deaf People! (Isaiah 43:8-15) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on May 17, 2024
     | 906 views

    God's (exilic) people are currently blind and deaf, which makes it hard for them to be good servants. God encourages them to change that-- to "acknowledge" and "trust" Him, and understand that God is He Who Remains.

    My daughter is wrapping up a in interesting class right now on how to be an effective teacher for students with special needs. There are students who are disruptive. There are kids who struggle to focus, and learn. There are also kids who have disabilities, of one type or another. With these ...read more

  • Life Is A Series Of Choices (Numbers 14:1-38) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 3, 2025
     | 479 views

    The fathers of Israel have to make a choice about if they will listen to the voices with faith, or the voices who fear. They make the wrong choice, and now they and their sons will miss God's best.

    Last week, we read the story about how Moses, at God's command, sent 12 men into the promised land to explore it. Before Moses sent them, he specifically asked them to bring back a report about the people living there-- are they strong, or weak, are they few, or many? Are their cities ...read more

  • Feeling Abandoned By God? (Isaiah 49:14-50:3) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 3, 2025
     | 397 views

    Lady Zion feels abandoned by God. God comforts her by saying He will make her beautiful again, and give her children. God also says, she feels abandoned because she was-- but that's about to change.

    A few weeks ago, in Isaiah 47, we read about the fall of Babylon, the capital city of the Babylonian empire. The city was described using female imagery-- as a delicate virgin daughter, as a queen. She was described as being proud, and boastful, and savage in her treatment of God's people. ...read more

  • The Servant Who Hears God's Voice (Isaiah 50:4-11) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 13, 2025
     | 355 views

    Sermon's focus is on listening to God. The servant is part of the group of disciples who hear God's voice. The servant suffers, but is confident that he suffers innocently, and that God will vindicate him.

    Our passage today is commonly called the third of the four servant songs in Isaiah 40-55. The other three, famously, are in Isaiah 42, 49, and 53. I've said before that over a century ago, a scholar named Bernard Duhm split off these four songs from the rest of Isaiah 40-55, and treated ...read more

  • God Gives Second Chances (Ezekiel 18:1-32) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 13, 2025
     | 585 views

    An academically rigorous, 1 week rabbit trail talking about generational punishments/curses, mostly following (and maybe slightly improving on) Margaret Odell's Ezekiel commentary.

    Today, we have the privilege of working through a chapter of the Bible that I've been unsettled about, and wrestled with off and on, and changed my mind back and forth, for over 20 years. Ezekiel 18. If you're not familiar with the passage, that's fabulous. That's great. If you ...read more

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

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 31, 2021
     | 2,423 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
     | 2,534 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
     | 1,797 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
     | 3,293 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
     | 1,892 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
     | 1,820 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
     | 2,536 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
     | 2,796 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
     | 3,533 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
