This Week at Little Hills: Prayer Walk Challenge (August 24, 2023)
Jim gives us a challenge to consider as we wrap up the Prayer Walk this evening.
What Does a Healthy Church Sound Like? (August 6, 2023)
This week’s sermon:
Grace saves us—we don’t deserve it, can’t earn it, and have no grounds to boast about it, as Paul makes plain in Ephesians 2:8–9—so what does it look like when a community of undeserving people actually lives that out together as the church God is building?
Our Family Photos (January 22, 2023)
Sunday night’s message:
The Lord’s Prayer encourages us to see how we should related to God, His Kingdom and our needs.
Stop Trying to Impress God (January 15, 2023)
This week’s sermon:
Most of us know what it feels like to pray with one eye on the people around us—wondering whether we sound holy enough, reaching for language we’d never use in ordinary conversation. In Matthew 6, Jesus warns us that prayer aimed at impressing an audience—human or divine—has already received its only reward.
Blessed Are the Unhappy (April 24, 2022)
Sunday night’s message:
Most of us carry a ready answer to “I’ll be happy if…”—the promotion, the healed relationship, the life that finally settles into place. That hunger is exactly what Jesus addresses when he sits down on a hillside in Matthew 5 and declares blessed the poor in spirit, the mourning, the meek, and the persecuted—people whose lives look nothing like what we’d put in that blank.
Please Don't Go Brandon
The phrase kept showing up in my social media feed, probably as it has for you. I’ve been busy, so I kept putting off finding out the reason for the latest social media fad, but finally bit: just who is “Brandon” and why is everyone cheering him on? It seemed like everyone was having lighthearted fun… at first.
tl;dr: The phrase is shorthand for “f—- Joe Biden.” And that seems like a problematic statement coming from believers.
The Mirage of Victory (October 18, 2021)
Solomon prayed for victory, but does his prayer mean whatever “victories” we want are just a prayer away?
What's Old is New Again (October 11, 2021)
Failure and forgiveness. It’s in the center of Solomon’s temple prayer and it is in the center of our actions and God’s response to them.
The Family Photo Album (October 4, 2021)
As the Temple built to worship God was dedicated, King Solomon stopped and prayed to the Lord. In the king’s prayer, we are pointed to truths about God is, what He does for us and how we can come before Him today.
