A Fed Bear Is a Dead Bear (June 1, 2025)

We all know what it’s like to chase after things that look like they’ll satisfy—achievements, credentials, the sense that we’ve finally earned our place. Ephesians 1:1 stops that chase cold, pressing the question of where our calling and our life as God’s people actually come from.

This Week at Little Hills: God's Providence (April 11, 2025)

Evan helps us think about what God’s Providence is as we continue to explore God as the Creator.

The Protection We Stop Noticing (March 30, 2025)

God had just routed the mightiest army of the ancient world on Hezekiah’s behalf, then healed him from a terminal illness—and somehow, facing the next threat, Hezekiah forgot both and went looking for an ally he could hold onto. Isaiah 39 traces how that forgetfulness works in a believing heart, and why it’s the sneakiest danger of all.

Keep Focused on the Buffet (February 10, 2025)

We lose focus on what God has done for us and then aren’t able to do what He really wants us to do.

Don't Get What You Deserved Today! (February 2, 2025)

As we continue to explore Psalm 8, David finds himself in wonder over the glory of God being given to human beings.

In the Nitty-Gritty (January 27, 2025)

As we continue to explore Psalm 8, David reminds us that we are never too insignificant for God to stop and show care for us.

When God Derails Your Plans (December 22, 2024)

Plans go awry all the time, and in the moment it feels terrible whether the fault is human weakness or God himself saying no to what we wanted. That's exactly where Mary finds herself in Luke 1 when Gabriel's greeting turns her ordinary day—and her entire future—upside down.

When Sin Doesn't Get the Last Word (October 13, 2024)

Family conflict. Our attempts to force a good outcome. So often our all too human messes and efforts leave life looking like a train wreck that gives sin the final word. Yet Genesis 35 closes Isaac’s story by calling him “old and full of days” and placing his divided sons together at his burial. Maybe even our broken lives still have hope of being full?

Double Down on God (October 6, 2024)

When a mess lands in our lap—whether it’s the fallen world’s doing or our own—the natural move is to grab control and start fixing, doubling down on whatever we think will work. In Genesis 28, two sons of the same broken family face that same moment, and the difference between how they respond reaches right into the choices we face today.

When You Set the Forest on Fire (September 29, 2024)

Gaps make us uneasy, so we fill them by hook or by crook—inventing tidy origins for old phrases or forcing plans into place. Genesis 27 opens on Isaac’s household doing the same around the blessing he means to give, each scrambling to close what feels unfinished.
