Where Do I Find Real Wisdom?
James calls us to look for the real wisdom of God rather than the “wisdom” we normally chase after.
Why Can't God Just Draw a Straight Line?
God told Rebekah before her sons were born that the older would serve the younger—yet in Genesis 25, Isaac loves Esau most. Nothing looks like it’s heading where God said it would. When the path to God’s promises feels unnecessarily tangled, can we still believe he’s working?
This Week at Little Hills: Of What Advantage to Us is Christ’s Ascension?
Pastor Tim helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“Of What Advantage to Us is Christ’s Ascension?”).
The Low and Slow of Trials
How do we understand the difficulties we face in life? James says we can find joy in them — how can that be?
The Patriarch Who Waits
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?
This Week at Little Hills: What Does Christ’s Resurrection Mean for Us?
Pastor Tim helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“What does Christ’s resurrection mean for us?”).
Flopping on the Deck
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
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.
This Week at Little Hills: Where is Christ Now?
Pastor Tim helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“Where is Christ now?”), a question that relates to how we view subjects such as communion.
We Need Good -- and True! -- News
The next set of Proverbs challenge us to think about how our words — even seemingly insignificant ones — can have a huge impact on those around us.
When God Tells You to Take the Curvy Road
We’ve all set out to pursue what we think God wants, only to watch the road curve in ways that make no sense. How do you trust Him when His path seems to undo the very promise He gave? In Genesis 22, Abraham faces exactly that moment as God calls him to offer Isaac.
This Week at Little Hills: What is the Church?
Greg helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“What is the Church?”).
Little Drops, Sopping Wet
The next set of Proverbs challenge us to think about how our words — even seemingly insignificant ones — can have a huge impact on those around us.
The Pool Kept Moving
We’ve all felt stuck in the middle—watching God work powerfully somewhere else while wondering if He’s forgotten us. In Genesis 21 the long-promised son finally arrives and the house fills with laughter, yet Isaac almost vanishes into the background of his own story. Even there, something unseen is still moving.
This Week at Little Hills: Does the Lord’s Supper add anything to Christ’s atoning work?
Pastor Tim helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“No, Christ died once for all. The Lord’s Supper is a covenant meal celebrating Christ’s atoning work; as it is also a means of strengthening our faith as we look to him, and a foretaste of the future feast. But those who take part with unrepentant hearts eat and drink judgment on themselves.”).
Bear with Each Other, Even Enemies
Do we really have to show love to those whom we consider “enemies”? God calls us to show His love to everyone, so let’s think about what that means.
Worship on Steroids
We love remembering that Jesus overturned tables in the temple—especially when we imagine them belonging to someone else. But in Luke 19:45–48 when Jesus drives out those who sold, and declares, “My house shall be a house of prayer,” His challenge isn’t just to those people who annoy us. What might He overturn when our own convenience, usefulness, and preferences begin to define worship?
This Week at Little Hills: What is the Lord’s Supper?
Melanie helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“What is the Lord’s Supper?”) as we continue to explore what exactly it is that Baptism does.
The Science Lab of Emotion
As people struggle through things, it can be hard to understand how to help them. We may not always get it right, but how can we be more Christ-like in helping them through struggles?
The Peace You're Chasing Isn't Peace
We keep wanting peace now—the right circumstances, the right outcome, the right person in charge—and that hunger is not wrong, just misdirected. In Luke 19:41–44, Jesus weeps over a city shouting for peace while blind to the only kind that lasts, and his tears raise an uncomfortable question about what we’re actually seeking when we seek it.
