Unpatchable (November 6, 2023)

Tonight’s message:

Sometimes the starting point in desperation is to realize just how desperate we really are.

The Leaning Tower of Life (October 22, 2023)

Sunday night’s message:

We’ve all sensed it—a choice that seemed perfect in the moment, but leaves us listing further down the road. Matthew 7:24–27 presents two builders, two houses, nearly identical except for what lies beneath, and asks which foundation will hold when the rains come.

Sounding Christian Isn't Enough (October 8, 2023)

This week’s sermon:

Jesus warns in Matthew 7 that the most dangerous kind of false teaching comes from one dressed like a sheep. By the time you realize there’s a wolf underneath, it’s frighteningly close. How do we keep alert when such sounds deceptively good?

Running the Wrong Way (August 20, 2023)

This week’s sermon:

Sometimes we become so fixed on where we want to go that we cannot see how we are defeating ourselves. Jonah runs in the opposite direction when God sends him to Nineveh, raising questions we often avoid: Do we understand who God is, who we are, and how He sees the people we would rather leave behind?

When the Lights Go Out (July 30, 2023)

This week’s sermon:

Most of us know what it feels like to start strong in our faith and then quietly fizzle out from that initial strength — and the churches in Revelation 2–3 knew that feeling, too. As Jesus responds to them with a reward for the one who “conquers,” what does conquering look like for ordinary, fizzle-prone people like us?

Where Is Jesus? (April 9, 2023)

This week’s sermon:

On Easter, we celebrate God’s great reversal, yet many of us still carry wildernesses where things feel anything but right. Mary Magdalene was in such a wilderness in John 20 as she wept outside of the tomb. In the wilderness, we often cannot see when Jesus is right in front of us.

The Majority Was Wrong (March 26, 2023)

Sunday night’s message:

God had been leading Israel every step of the way—parting the Red Sea, dropping food from the sky, guiding them with a pillar of fire at night—and still, when twelve spies came back from the promised land, ten of them said it couldn’t be done, and the crowd went with them. Numbers 13 and 14 ask a question we face too: when the majority says no, does that settle it?

This Week at Little Hills: Habakkuk (February 23, 2023)

As we enter the season of Lent, Habakkuk helps us think about righteousness and humility.

Jesus Has No Origin Story (November 27, 2022)

This week’s sermon:

Thanksgiving takes planning, or you’ll fill the plate and miss the pie you were waiting for. Advent works the same way. The Gospel of Mark skips the manger and the angels and jumps right to the one the Gospels proclaim: Jesus. Do we get caught up in the details or get to Him in our own preparations?

When Mourning Becomes a Blessing (May 8, 2022)

Sunday night’s message:

Mothers mourn over children falling away, over ones they’ve outlived, over the ache of children they never had. That grief feels heavy for Mother’s Day, yet Jesus declares in Matthew 5:4, “Blessed are those who mourn.” How is it blessed to mourn?
