Bringing the Wrong Bowl
Bold faith can feel clearest in a crisis; the harder question is how to live when the rush is over and ordinary life must begin again. Matthew 2:19–23 meets Joseph at precisely that point: Herod is dead, God calls his family home from Egypt, and the road ahead still demands careful listening. What does faithfulness look like when obedience is clear, but the next step is not?
This Week at Little Hills: Why Must the Redeemer Be Truly Human?
Jim takes us to the question “Why must the Redeemer be truly human?” from the New City Catechism. The question helps us to understand how Jesus takes on our sin for us.
Ash Wednesday
Does God Oppose Technology?
Sometimes we look at technology as a force opposed to God. But is that what the Bible actually says about about human innovation?
When Boldness Looks Absurd
It’s easy to talk about being bold for Jesus until opposition comes—when it’s dangerous, uncomfortable or people may look down on us. In Matthew 2, Joseph and Herod both have choices to make in response to God coming into the world. Do our own responses to God look show bold faith or frantic fear?
This Week at Little Hills: What Sort of Redeemer is Needed to Bring Us Back to God?
Jim takes us to the question “What sort of Redeemer is needed to bring us back to God?” as we start part 2 of the New City Catechism.
The Mercy Can in Front of Us
When we find ourselves demanding mercy from God do we see all the mercy He’s already provided? Do we understand the true mercy He’s offering?
Streaks on the Canvas
We have a hard time listening to God. A phone vibrates, a mind runs off, and even when nothing interrupts we still lose the thread. The wise men of Matthew 2 trusted His word enough to travel months toward a king they couldn’t yet see—can we listen and trust Him when our own picture still looks unfinished?
This Week at Little Hills: Who is the Redeemer?
Jim takes us to the question “Who is the Redeemer” as we wrap up part 1 of the New City Catechism.
Sliding on the Ice of Sin
When the warnings are there that we’re falling into sin, do we turn and go the other way? Or do we keep spiraling forward and crash?
Life Resets to Zero
Most of us navigate life by a quiet, practical question: what’s the minimum I need to get by with my time and my money? In Matthew 2, the wise men travel months across dangerous roads and then open their best treasures before the child—and the gap between what they did and what they could have gotten away with is exactly where this passage challenges us.
This Week at Little Hills: Is There Any Way to Escape Punishment and Be Brought Back into God’s Favor?
Jim takes us to the question “Is there any way to escape punishment and be brought back into God’s favor?” Where do we find hope after we recognize our situation before God?
Abel was Able, But Cain Cain't
We begin a new series in Genesis 4, looking at the impact of sin on early human beings… and all of us today.
Don't Stop at Jerusalem
We can hear God’s Word, begin moving in the right direction, and still stop short when the journey lasts longer than expected. In Matthew 2, the wise men do not settle for reaching Jerusalem; they keep following God’s leading toward Bethlehem, raising a searching question for us: What will we do when obedience requires another step?
This Week at Little Hills: Will God Allow Our Disobedience and Idolatry to Go Unpunished?
Pastor Tim shares that we will be online-only tonight for service. He also takes us to the question “Will God allow our disobedience and idolatry to go unpunished?” What do we do when we face God’s righteous judgment?
You Belong
Ever feel like you accidentally got an invite to a gathering when you think about what God’s people should look like? We start to wonder: “Do I Belong?”
Listening for the Arrows
The decorations come down, the calendar turns, and Christmas recedes into memory—but Matthew 2 insists there’s something that doesn’t go out of season. And if the Gospel doesn’t go out of season, are we keeping ourselves focused on where it is pointing us?
This Week at Little Hills: What is Idolatry?
Jim takes us to the question “What is Idolatry,” challenging us to think about how we have hidden idols in our heart.
Twelve Days of Christmas 2023 - Epiphany
How can we envy given what God has given us? Paul has us think about our impulse to envy as we wrap up Galatians 5.
Twelve Days of Christmas 2023 - Day 12
As we near the end of Galatians 5, Paul calls us to live as those without strife. Can we take strife-free living into our communities this New Year?
