Where's the Cream Filling? (June 21, 2026)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 12:00 AM

This week’s sermon:

It is easy to want Jesus for the healing, peace, and confidence he gives while keeping the rest of life safely under our control. In Matthew 8, however, the One who heals the sick also tells would-be disciples that the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head. What does it mean to follow him rather than merely watch?

Punch Through the Turbulence (April 26, 2026)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

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?

Dumber Than an Ox: Building What Burns (March 29, 2026)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

Sunday night’s message:

We love to DIY it, and those efforts can look impressive on the surface—but surface polish gives false confidence. Isaiah 1:30 warns that a life cut off from God withers like an oak without water. The question is whether we are still building kingdoms that burn, or rooting ourselves in the One who lasts.

Jesus Reigns to Bless (August 17, 2025)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

This week’s sermon:

We know what often happens when people gain power: sooner or later, they start asking how it can benefit them. Ephesians 1:22–23 says everything is under Jesus’ feet and presents Him as head of the church, but he’s not seeking to use power the same way as those others. Just what kind of King is He? What does His reign mean for those who belong to Him?

Why You're Really Here (July 6, 2025)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

This week’s sermon:

In the movies, every important meeting starts with a clear “You may be wondering why I’ve called you here today.” Real meetings leave you guessing the whole time—and sometimes long after. We often treat God’s Word the same way, yet Ephesians 1 addresses the question head-on: why are you here?

Leaders from Jesus, Leaders from Within (May 26, 2025)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 11:10 AM

This week’s Steadfast:

The death of Judas provided the first opportunity to address a perennial issue for the church: how do we find those called to lead the church?

Prayer is Preparation

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:57 PM
My latest piece:

The other day, I was talking with a friend between jobs who was thinking about how to prepare for the next step. It took me back to a time I had to take the GRE — and that painful reminder of the need for preparation.

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 6:53 PM

This week’s Steadfast:

The early church needed preparation before their mission. What did they do to prepare to share the Gospel with the world?
