Why Are You Dumber Than an Ox?

By Timothy R. Butler | Feb 08, 2026 at 11:30 PM

We’ve all charged after something we thought would finally set things right, only to watch it cost us everything we hoped to protect. That’s the dumb-ox pattern God confronts in Isaiah 1 when he asks his people, “Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel?”

This Week at Little Hills - Ruth

By Timothy R. Butler | Feb 08, 2026 at 3:06 PM

Jason walks us through the beautiful story of Ruth and how the story points us to the Savior as we continue on in 52 Verses, 52 Books and 52 Weeks for 2026.

Smaller Than a Fly

By Timothy R. Butler | Feb 02, 2026 at 6:56 PM

It’s great to know about how amazing Jesus is and wonderful to find out that the angels are incredibly powerful creations He made, too. But, where does that leave us?

Dumber Than an Ox

By Timothy R. Butler | Feb 01, 2026 at 11:30 PM

An ox knows who feeds it; a donkey knows its master’s crib. But what about God’s people — including us? We forget.

This Week at Little Hills - Mark

By Timothy R. Butler | Feb 01, 2026 at 4:20 PM

Pastor Tim takes us to the Gospel of Mark ahead of our new series on Isaiah, because what Mark can say reminds us of how God’s faithfulness promised in Isaiah is actually true today.

You Can't Undo the Shot

By Timothy R. Butler | Jan 25, 2026 at 11:30 PM

A vaccination can leave you feeling wretched for a week, tempting you to wish you could undo it and try again later. That’s the kind of pressure that hits when the gospel goes out in Acts 14—Paul and Barnabas meet rising opposition in Iconium, and the question becomes how we press ahead without quitting or compromising.

Where's Our Spot in the Grand Scheme of Things?

By Timothy R. Butler | Jan 25, 2026 at 4:31 PM

It’s great to know about how amazing Jesus is and wonderful to find out that the angels are incredibly powerful creations He made, too. But, where does that leave us?

This Week at Little Hills - Job

By Timothy R. Butler | Jan 24, 2026 at 6:56 PM
Pastor Tim encourages us to look to the snow outside as a reminder of something that might not strike us at first when looking at it: that God cares enough to reveal Himself to us.

Rebuilds are Uncertain, so is Recreation?

By Timothy R. Butler | Jan 19, 2026 at 4:34 PM

We know if a business or sports team rebuild, there is a lot of uncertainty. So what about when God rebuilds the whole universe?

The Thermostat and the Weather

By Timothy R. Butler | Jan 18, 2026 at 11:30 PM

When things go badly, it’s easy to assume God’s favor has lifted—and that assumption runs deep enough that entire churches have been built on promising the opposite. Yet in Acts 13, the disciples who have just heard the gospel find themselves filled with joy and the Holy Spirit at precisely the moment Paul and Barnabas are driven out of the district, which raises a question worth sitting with: what if hardship isn’t the absence of God’s blessing at all?

This Week at Little Hills - Leviticus

By James Donald Wolfe | Jan 17, 2026 at 5:07 PM

Jim Wolfe helps us to think about the Grace of God we find in the book of Leviticus.

This Week at Little Hills - Exodus

By Timothy R. Butler | Jan 12, 2026 at 7:51 PM

God isn’t just the God of the universe, he also is the God who wants us to know Him. Pastor Tim helps us think about this by turning to Exodus this week.

Angels are Great, But Jesus is Greater

By Timothy R. Butler | Jan 12, 2026 at 6:09 PM

Why are we so fascinated with angels and the spiritual world as a culture but often pause when it comes to fully embracing who Jesus is? It isn’t necessarily a new problem.

This Week at Little Hills

By Timothy R. Butler | Jan 12, 2026 at 5:04 PM

Pastor Tim begins our journey through the Bible this year by turning to Genesis ch. 3.

When the In-Group Isn't Enough

By Timothy R. Butler | Jan 11, 2026 at 11:30 PM

Being in the right group, studying the right things, living a decent life—it feels like that ought to be enough. But in Acts 13, Paul announces to a synagogue full of people who had done exactly that: there are things the Law of Moses simply could not free you from, and being part of the in-group won’t close that gap.

Sin Stickier than a Price Tag

By Timothy R. Butler | Jan 05, 2026 at 6:41 PM

Sin is really sticky — far more persistent than those obnoxious tags stuck on things that we struggle to get off. But, Jesus’s mission in this world was to do what we can’t: remove that sin from us.

Who Are Your Magi?

By Timothy R. Butler | Jan 04, 2026 at 11:30 PM

We easily draw safe boundaries around God’s grace, welcoming those who seem familiar while overlooking those who feel foreign or difficult. Yet the distant wise men of Matthew 2 and the rejoicing Gentiles of Acts 13 confront those boundaries: Jesus came to reach the world. Who might God be placing beyond our comfort, yet within the reach of his good news?

God's Christmas Lights are... Overpowering

By Timothy R. Butler | Dec 29, 2025 at 5:01 PM

God takes us as those who are lost in the dim darkness and offers us a light so overpowering that nothing can stop it — or His mission He sends us on.

When All the Lights Go Out

By Timothy R. Butler | Dec 28, 2025 at 11:30 PM

Once the Christmas packages are cleared away, the dark sections of life can become painfully visible again—and we may have no idea how to fix them. Revelation 22 meets that helplessness with a river of life, a tree for the healing of the nations, and a coming day when night will be no more.

The Ultimate Christmas Tree

By Timothy R. Butler | Dec 24, 2025 at 11:30 PM

Christmas has a way of feeling like a destination—the carols, the decorations, the nativity—as though the manger is where everything finally arrives. John 1 won’t let it stay there: the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and the question John presses is what exactly that birth was launching toward and what it means for us now.
