Not Clicks, but Success (May 11, 2026)
This week’s Steadfast:
God’s way doesn’t always look the most successful in the moment, but it is the path to true success.
Don't Give God the Half-Empty Box (May 10, 2026)
Sunday night’s message:
Even good things we pursue can drift from their real meaning into empty gestures that change nothing. Sin whispers the same trade—“focus on me and I’ll give you what you want”—yet Paul answers it in Romans 6: do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires, but present yourselves to God as those brought from death to life.
Don't Cave In (May 4, 2026)
This week’s Steadfast:
When it feels dark, we need the well trod paths of God’s Word to strengthen us so we don’t lose hope.
Stop Burgling After the Cross (May 3, 2026)
This week’s sermon:
We think, “If only I had enough money, my life would change forever,” yet even a life-altering jackpot can’t easily eliminate the old self. Romans 6:10 tells us the death Christ died, He died to sin once for all, but the life He lives, He lives to God.
This Week at Little Hills - Jeremiah (April 28, 2026)
Pastor Tim turns to Jeremiah to briefly think about what prophets were frequently called to do: warn us. Jeremiah had reason for fear, but God assured him and sent him to call us to safety.
God's Gaze Is Enough: Are You a Functional Atheist? (April 27, 2026)
Tonight’s Steadfast:
You’re driving through a late-March snowstorm, visibility gone, familiar exits slipping past unseen, when a sign appears: St. Louis, 100 miles. The number ticks downward even while the snow keeps falling. Psalm 13 speaks to that same stretch of road in the soul—where personal turmoil and global chaos converge, God seems silent, and the plea rises: “Look at me, answer me, revive me, or else I will die.” The question is whether any sign of the kingdom can still be trusted.
Punch Through the Turbulence (April 26, 2026)
Sunday night’s message:
We long for fresh starts, yet even after coming to Christ we can feel the pull to return to the same old sins and familiar ways. Romans 6:6–9 says our old self was crucified with Christ and that death no longer rules him—so what does that new standing mean for believers still facing temptation, failure, and the daily work of living for him?
This Isn’t The Way
Tonight, I can’t stop thinking, this isn’t the way. A third assassination attempt against President Trump was all too narrowly thwarted mere months after the actual assassination of another national political figure. We need to treat the illness these evil acts are the symptoms of.
Has God Forgotten to Show Up? (April 20, 2026)
Tonight’s Steadfast:
You arrive early at the restaurant and order an iced tea while waiting for a friend whose advice you desperately need. One refill comes, then another, until the condensation has left the table damp and the agreed time is long past. An hour and a half later, you leave more dejected than when you arrived. Psalm 13 asks the same question that fills that silence: How long, O Lord?
Toast Falls, Life Rises (April 19, 2026)
This week’s sermon:
We know we’re going to die—it’s as inevitable as buttered toast landing face-down—but Romans 6:5 asks whether that death has to mean the same thing it did before Christ.
