There Ain't No Grave (May 12, 2024)

We’ve all held something we couldn’t restore—a plan, a relationship, a season of life that’s gone dry—and kept clenching it anyway, as if sheer will might put flesh back on the bone. Naomi knew that feeling: she went away full and came back empty, and the Book of Ruth shows what God does with that kind of emptiness.

The Smoker Takes Time (April 22, 2024)

If God is a God of justice (and He is), then how do we live in a time of injustice? David wrestles with this in the middle of Psalm 7.

The Sin-quake Will Be Dampened (April 15, 2024)

If God is a God of justice (and He is), then how do we live in a time of injustice? David wrestles with this in the middle of Psalm 7.

Love That Isn't Eclipsed (April 8, 2024)

Sometimes our attempts to fix our situations we need rescue from go as badly as poorly planned April Fool’s jokes.

The disciples at first saw an empty grave, but not a Risen King. We can find ourselves doing the same.

This Week at Little Hills: Easter Saturday (March 30, 2024)

Pastor Tim reflects on the empty tomb’s uncertainty before the disciples encountered the Risen Jesus.

Good News and Bad News: Are We the Punchline? (March 25, 2024)

We pray the Lord’s Prayer anticipating God’s work, but a lot of times His glory and power feels quite distant. Is that the bad news that cancels out the good news that He cares?

We can Noah Hope (March 18, 2024)

Join us for our fourth anniversary of Steadfast, during which we look at how God provides hope even in dark and discouraging times.
