Don't Ignore the Mermaids (July 27, 2026)
This week’s Steadfast:
When we struggle to translate from one language to another, we’re painfully reminded of the problems coming from the Tower of Babel. But do we remember the temptation of that situation, one that plays to our own ambitions still today?
Know What Season You're In (July 26, 2026)
Sunday night’s message:
We’ve all felt the pull to add one more pious act—fast a little longer, pray a little harder—convinced the right combination will finally make us right before God. In Matthew 9, John’s disciples bring that same assumption directly to Jesus, and his answer reframes not just the practice of fasting but the question of what season we’re actually living in.
Remember When Logging In Actually Worked?
Most of us contributed to how we got here: we came up with a subpar password and we used it over and over again. Do I admit I used the same “secure” password for almost two decades?
Reciprocation of What? (July 20, 2026)
This week’s Steadfast:
Maybe you had a childhood toy that took your voice and sent it back distorted and amplified. Small choices work the same way in Proverbs 3:34-35 — God reciprocates what we put out into the world, amplifying our foolishness so we see it clearly, or honoring our wisdom in ways that matter eternally.
The Real Dirt Jesus Came For (July 19, 2026)
Sunday night’s message:
Most of us know our own dirt isn’t the curated kind—and suspect it may be too much to clean up. In Matthew 9, Jesus walks past everyone with the polished-for-consumption sob story and stops at a tax collector’s booth, a man whose sin was public knowledge, and says simply, “Follow me.”
This Week at Little Hills - 1 Chronicles (July 19, 2026)
Pastor Tim turns to 1 Chronicles to think about how the “dry” genealog is actually there to offer incredible assurance to us.
Genuine Graham
I didn’t know him personally. He was never my senator. But the passing of Lindsey Graham really has struck me. The more I think about his passing — and the responses from those who long worked with him — the more I think I know why.
Be the Mouser God Made You (July 13, 2026)
Tonight’s Steadfast:
When we try to live by “Don’t Be Evil,” we find that we end up being evil in the end. There’s a better way.
What You Really Need: The Deeper Healing (July 12, 2026)
This week’s sermon:
We scramble to fix what’s broken, certain we know the one restoration that matters most. But when friends lower a paralyzed man before Jesus in Matthew 9, desperate only to walk, the first words he hears are “Take heart, my son, your sins are forgiven.” Do we trust Jesus enough to receive what he says we actually need?
Don’t Be Evil Won’t Avoid Evil
“Don’t Be Evil.” If you’ve followed the tech industry long enough, you know that used to be Google’s motto. Whatever happened to that Google? We could ask that of our attempts at mere avoidance of evil, too.
