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

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 3, 2025
     | 413 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
     | 365 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
     | 609 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

  • The Servant Of Isaiah 49 In Luke-Acts Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 19, 2024
     | 540 views

    Part 2 of a rabbit trail exploring how the servant's calling is picked up not just by Jesus, but also by Ananias, Paul and Barnabas, in Acts. We are all to be lights, and "salvation," up to the ends of the earth.

    Two weeks ago, we worked our way through Isaiah 49:1-6. When I taught on it, I said that these are the words of God's exilic prophet. The prophet feels like his ministry has been a waste of his time and energy. It's accomplished nothing. And God responds to him, not by arguing with him, ...read more

  • Praise Yahweh, Our Loyal God (Psalm 106) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Oct 24, 2024
     | 603 views

    God's loyalty is good, and forever. The psalmist knows it's time to appeal to that loyalty, and to God, and move forward to a better future with God.

    If you've ever been to a large amusement park, or zoo, or national/state park, you know that one of the most helpful things you can find there is a giant map with a little dot somewhere on it that says, "You are here." It's easy to get lost in the bigness of what you're ...read more

  • A Song For Hard-Working Men (Psalm 127) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 2, 2024
     | 654 views

    A message for a men's retreat, talking about men as provider and protector, and work, and wealth, and family, and inflation.

    A song for hard-working men (Psalm 127) This morning, we will be talking a lot about practical, everyday parts of life. We'll talk about work, and wealth, and family. We'll talk about how a man provides, and protects. We'll be talking about our role, and God's. Parts of what I ...read more

  • God, The Good Shepherd, Will Bring You Home (Isaiah 49:7-14) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 7, 2024
     | 739 views

    God promises his exiled people He will bring them from shame to honor, from exile to home, from being prisoners to freedom.

    The last few weeks, we've spent a fair bit of time studying, and circling around, Isaiah 49:1-6. These verses (I've argued) are the words of the exilic prophet, who feels like his ministry to Israel has been a waste. He's accomplished nothing. He's poured out his strength for ...read more

  • When God Forces Himself To Not Help (Isaiah 42:10-17) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 17, 2024
     | 1,261 views

    We can choose to live in a way where God will restrain himself, and resist the urge to help his people. God describes himself as a woman in labor, who has been fighting the urge to push.

    Imagine today that the prophet of Isaiah 40-55 stands up in the midst of God's exiled people in Babylon, and he gives them a new word from God. He speaks out in a loud, clear voice. And this is what he says, verses 12-13: (10) Sing to Yahweh a new song; his praise from the end of the earth, ...read more

  • 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
     | 588 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
     | 914 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

  • Lady Babylon, Brought Low By God (Isaiah 47:1-15) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 10, 2024
     | 603 views

    God promises He will soon take vengeance on Lady Babylon, stripping her of everything, because of how she mistreated His people. This promise gives hope, and it helps people not be overly impressed by her.

    At the start of many movies and TV shows, there's a disclaimer. Portions of this program may be offensive. They bother particular kinds of viewers. And this program isn't necessarily in line with the network which hosts it. This is the kind of sermon that probably needs lots of ...read more

  • What Is Holiness? (Leviticus 19-20) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 27, 2024
     | 778 views

    Holiness is a common, fuzzy word. But basically it comes to the idea of "dedication." God is dedicated to his people; God expects them to mirror Him, and be dedicated to Him the same way.

    Today, we are going to rabbit trail for just a week, and talk about holiness. One of the hardest things to explain in the entire Bible, in my opinion, is the idea of holiness. The Bible often tells us that God is holy, and when the Bible tells us this, it tends to be in very serious, weighty ...read more

  • Listen, To Receive God's Best (Isaiah 48:1-22) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 5, 2024
     | 1,131 views

    God's people have failed to listen once, and missed God's best. God here gives them a second chance, letting them know He's not angry despite their idolatry.

    One of the hardest things to do in the entire world, is to listen when someone gives you good advice. Listening requires a lot from you. It requires an openness to unpleasant possibilities-- the possibility that you're wrong, that you don't know everything, that someone else knows more ...read more

  • See God's New Thing! (Isaiah 43:16-21) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 6, 2024
     | 1,928 views

    There are helpful and unhelpful ways to think about the past, and about God's past acts of salvation. God encourages his people to stop thinking about the exodus, and see his new act of salvation.

    I'd like to start today by setting you up, so to speak, and reminding you about your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God proved his love for the world, and his affection, and his faithfulness, by sending Jesus to earth. Jesus, as King, ushered in God's kingdom onto earth. Jesus came to ...read more

  • Tired Of God? (Isaiah 43:22-28; 44:1-5) Series

    Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 13, 2024
     | 1,238 views

    God's exiled people are tired of Him. God pushes back, and asks how exactly that's possible, and says He's the one who is tired by their burdens. Nevertheless, a better future awaits them.

    One of the most common questions that any human being can ask another, is this: "How are you doing?" And in my circles, there are a few really common answers to this: "I'm fine. I'm alright. I'm really busy." There's also one more: "I'm ...read more
