By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

The Map God Already Drew (October 12, 2025)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

Sunday night’s message:

When we’re desperate for direction, we tend to reach for whatever voice sounds most confident, be it horoscopes, politicians or just about anyone who seems to know something we don’t. Deuteronomy 18 speaks to our searching, reminding us God has never left His people without a trustworthy voice to follow, and what He promised there points somewhere specific.

Where Did You Hear About Us? (July 13, 2025)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

Sunday night’s message:

We fall into measuring our place with God by how much Scripture we know or how “spiritual” we sound. Paul tells us the real measure is somewhere else: “the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.” What changes when we remember that the Christian journey began by hearing what God has done not what we do?

Stop Reaching Between the Boulders (June 29, 2025)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

This week’s sermon:

We keep reaching for more—a better version of the Christian life, a deeper secret, some upgrade that will finally make everything click—when Ephesians 1 says God has already lavished wisdom and insight on us and made known the mystery of His will. What does it look like to actually live in that, rather than keep reaching past it?

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

This week’s sermon:

You think the picnic went great until you start to itch and realize you brought ticks home with you. What tick bites—those sneaky sins whose venom is already inside before you notice—do you have? Those are the ones Jesus came to rescue us from.

We All Are Oedipus (April 14, 2025)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 6:45 PM

Instant Yeast or Long Rise? (April 13, 2025)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

Sunday night’s message:

When things feel urgent and broken, we want a solution that works right now—and that impatience is exactly what Luke 19 puts on display as the Palm Sunday crowd shouts “Hosanna” at Jesus, certain he’s about to deliver the instant fix they’ve been waiting for.
