Don't Give God the Half-Empty Box (May 10, 2026)

Even good things we pursue can drift from their real meaning into empty gestures that change nothing. Sin whispers the same trade—“focus on me and I’ll give you what you want”—yet Paul answers it in Romans 6: do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires, but present yourselves to God as those brought from death to life.

Don't Cave In (May 4, 2026)

When it feels dark, we need the well trod paths of God’s Word to strengthen us so we don’t lose hope.

Stop Burgling After the Cross (May 3, 2026)

We think, “If only I had enough money, my life would change forever,” yet even a life-altering jackpot can't easily eliminate the old self. Romans 6:10 tells us the death Christ died, He died to sin once for all, but the life He lives, He lives to God.

This Week at Little Hills - Jeremiah (April 28, 2026)

Pastor Tim turns to Jeremiah to briefly think about what prophets were frequently called to do: warn us. Jeremiah had reason for fear, but God assured him and sent him to call us to safety.

God's Gaze Is Enough: Are You a Functional Atheist?

In a snowstorm, the signs showing miles to safety keep you moving even when relief feels hours away. You eat, you sleep, you feel better—so you believe that’s where strength comes from. But what happens when food runs out, rest doesn’t help, and the world keeps breaking? David pleads the same in Psalm 13, cutting to the real source of life: “Look at me, answer me, oh Lord, my God, revive me, or else I will die.” When personal storms and world chaos collide, what keeps hope alive?

Punch Through the Turbulence (April 26, 2026)

We long for fresh starts, yet even after coming to Christ we can feel the pull to return to the same old sins and familiar ways. Romans 6:6–9 says our old self was crucified with Christ and that death no longer rules him—so what does that new standing mean for believers still facing temptation, failure, and the daily work of living for him?

Has God Forgotten to Show Up? (April 20, 2026)

You arrive early at the restaurant and order an iced tea while waiting for a friend whose advice you desperately need. One refill comes, then another, until the condensation has left the table damp and the agreed time is long past. An hour and a half later, you leave more dejected than when you arrived. Psalm 13 asks the same question that fills that silence: How long, O Lord?

Toast Falls, Life Rises (April 19, 2026)

We know we're going to die—it's as inevitable as buttered toast landing face-down—but Romans 6:5 asks whether that death has to mean the same thing it did before Christ.

Do We Need a Backup? (April 13, 2026)

When evil seems to be prospering, the temptation can be to find a backup plan instead of God’s way. Do we need one?

Dead to Sin, Alive to Mission (April 12, 2026)

A voyage to the moon can feel finished once splashdown comes and the pictures stop, yet those who flew it insist it is only the start. Romans 6 challenges us to see the same of Easter: we're not at the end of our old debt, but the beginning of our new life in Jesus.
