Don't Just Clear the Light (August 23, 2026)

Sunday night’s message:

It’s a relief when a warning light disappears—unless the problem under the hood is still there. In Matthew 9:35–36, Jesus heals sickness, preaches the good news of the kingdom, and looks with compassion on people who are helpless and without a shepherd. What does his compassion say about the immediate burdens we bring to him and the deeper need we cannot afford to ignore?

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.”

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.

Mercy for the Worst of Sinners (March 9, 2026)

Tonight’s message:

Two half-brothers leave for the same war; only one comes home. When rescue divides one person from another, “Why me?” can feel unanswerable—and salvation can raise the same uneasy question. In 1 Timothy 1:15–16, Paul refuses to ground his rescue in merit, calling himself the worst of sinners and pointing instead to Christ’s purpose and patience.

Beyond Getting Even: Dross, Not Destruction (March 8, 2026)

This week’s sermon:

When we want vengeance, we want to get back—but Isaiah 1:24–25 shows a God who wants to get back to good, and that difference is harder to hold onto than it sounds when the anger is righteous and the wrong is real.

Why Are You Dumber Than an Ox? (February 8, 2026)

This week’s sermon:

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?”

Don't Pick Up the Snake (September 28, 2025)

This week’s sermon:

When evil still creeps in unchecked and we wonder why God doesn’t swoop down to stop it, it can feel as if He isn’t even paying attention. Psalm 11 speaks to us when we feel that nagging doubt.

God Redeems Tornadoes (May 18, 2025)

Sunday night’s message:

Paul left a wide path of destruction as he went city to city persecuting God’s people, and yet in 1 Timothy 1:15, even as he names himself the foremost of sinners Jesus came to save, he can say that last part: Jesus came to save him. And He came to save us, too.

The Protection We Stop Noticing (March 30, 2025)

This week’s sermon:

God had just routed the mightiest army of the ancient world on Hezekiah’s behalf, then healed him from a terminal illness—and somehow, facing the next threat, Hezekiah forgot both and went looking for an ally he could hold onto. Isaiah 39 traces how that forgetfulness works in a believing heart, and why it’s the sneakiest danger of all.

This Week at Little Hills: New Mercies Every Morning (September 22, 2024)

Pastor Tim reflects on the end of our New City Catechism Sunday School Express series and what comes next as part of thinking about how God’s mercies are always new.
