Your License Plate Won't Expire (August 10, 2025)
We want hope, but we want to know it isn’t empty—especially when other powers seem to have the final say over our lives. In Ephesians 1:20–21, Paul points to God raising Jesus from the dead and seating him above every rule and authority, but do we live as if we believe that?
Hope in the Right Thing (August 3, 2025)
We can be full of hope and still put that hope in plans, forecasts, and outcomes that never arrive. When disappointment turns us into expert worriers—or convinces us that life will only get worse—we’re reminded to look to our true hope and the Power behind it.
This Week at Little Hills (April 26, 2025)
Pastor Tim reflects on the continuing impact of Easter and our opportunity to think more deeply about that.
Jesus Came to Break the Glass (December 13, 2024)
Maybe you’ve had a Christmas where the lights and the music were all there, but it felt like you were watching from the other side of a piece of glass—present for the season, yet not really in it. Isaiah 53 describes a Savior understands how we feel on that other side of the glass and came to break it.
Knowledge Needs to Go Somewhere (October 14, 2024)
James encourages us to listen but not to stop at listening. Combining listening and acting is necessary for arriving where God wants us.

No Shadow of Turning (September 30, 2024)
How do we deal with darkness and uncertainty in life? Can we count on God’s blessing? James helps us to think about this.
The Patriarch Who Waits (September 1, 2024)
Waiting is hard—praying for years with silence the only reply, watching others move while you stand still, wondering if God has forgotten or if you took a wrong turn. That was Isaac in Genesis 25: married at forty, still childless nearly twenty years later, the promise hanging unfinished. What do we do in the long stretch when nothing seems to move?
Flopping on the Deck (August 26, 2024)
James challenges where we find hope as we begin this new series in the first chapter of the Epistle from James.
Ladders Over the Wall (August 25, 2024)
It’s easy to hunker down when life gets complicated. We’ll just manage what’s in front of us and quietly wonder whether God’s bigger plan still has a place for us in it. Genesis 24 takes us to the story of a family facing down that same question.
