A Tale of Two Daughters (August 2, 2026)

Sunday night’s message:

We see lots of details but miss the main point when we come to Jesus mainly to eliminate problems here and now. In Matthew 9:18–26, two people reach out to Jesus with needs very much like the ones we have and must wrestle with the deeper point of Jesus’s ministry — just like we do.

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?

Just Say the Word (June 14, 2026)

Sunday night’s message:

We think status, heritage, and credentials make us a somebody or a nobody, yet those are not what God values. In Matthew 8 a Gentile centurion—nobody by race—approaches Jesus with a suffering servant, forcing the question of what actually makes anyone able to approach God’s kingdom.

Faith Over Fury (September 14, 2025)

This week’s sermon:

When the wicked seem to win and justice feels nowhere in sight, fury rises faster than faith. At the close of Psalm 10, God does justice for the fatherless and the oppressed—that’s the firm promise. As we look to that, will we choose faith, or will we choose fury?

This Week at Little Hills (August 22, 2025)

Pastor Tim talks about baptism and what it is really about.

Get the Church Out of the Political Dump

Some piles of garbage are better than others. But if you asked me which one I’d like to lie down in, I’d say, “None of them.” The answer should be the same when answering about which sort of politics should influence Christianity.

Prayer is Preparation

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.

The Christian Nation Road

I’m a Christian, That’s Why I'm Skeptical of the Path

A lot of Christians today say they want a Christian nation. One would think, as a pastor, I would too. The Bible and history make my position more complicated.

Winning Our Way to a Lost Christian Witness

This week, a Christian friend shared a new claim about an alleged health cure based on an event that never happened. Another shared what the briefest of searches would have revealed was a falsehood about a political foe. The short-term “win” is often a long way from the truth.
