Phishers of Men (May 31, 2021)

As we continue our series “the Future is Here,” looking at the “Little Apocalypse” of Matthew 24-25, we dig into Jesus’s warnings about those who will lead many astray — false Messiahs and false prophets. Today, we have false pastors, politicians and more who often fit into those roles. Who are we prone to listening to whom we should not?

52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 22: Romans)

For Memorial Day, I turned to Romans to continue Little Hills’ 52 week journey through 52 Verses from 52 Books. I hope everyone has had a blessed Memorial Day weekend.

Is the Low Fuel Light of Time On? (May 24, 2021)

Since I moved away from Dispensationalism years ago during seminary, I’ve thought about preaching a series on the End Times someday, but had always thought I should wait and mull a bit longer. However, as I’ve been praying about message series for Little Hills, it felt like such a series was needed, so… here we go.

To start a series on the “Little Apocalypse” or “Olivette Discourse” (Matthew 24-25), I think we need to begin where Jesus did, heading off at the pass two risks we face when dealing with the future: apathy and obsession. In contrast to these, Jesus instructs us on how to have the right mindset about the future and that’s what we consider in this week’s message.

52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 21: James)

Jim Krenning takes us to the Epistle of James to think about how sin affects our testimony and how faithfulness can point people to Jesus. I love the way Jim points us to how our actions influence others in faithfulness.

Poor Excuses? (May 17, 2021)

How does the Church deal with poverty? How do we understand what the Bible says about care for the poor and how it says, “If any will not work, neither let him eat”? As I conclude the second volume of Proverbially Speaking, we look at “Poor Excuses” and God’s Answers. Like so much in Scripture, we are called to a balance we struggle to achieve.

Respect the Curry (May 10, 2021)

I continues the Little Hills series in Proverbs, considering what the Proverbs tell us about whom we should spend time around.

Honestly! (May 3, 2021)

How important is our integrity in daily life to God? Is it really necessary? That’s my questions to consider for this week’s message.

52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 15: Exodus)

Melanie takes on the next part of our this Week at Little Hills devotional series, this time turning us to Exodus for encouragement about the God who is there with us throughout life. Take a listen — you’ll be encouraged!

52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 14: Mark)

For Easter Sunday, I thought it would be good to turn to the Gospel of Mark’s ending (the shorter, ending — not the longer one we find in the manuscripts behind the KJV). The thing I love about this ending is that it fits with our own experience: we know the women overcome their fear, but Mark leaves us to dwell in it for awhile. I’ll share why I think he does that in the video. Happy Easter! He is Risen!

52 Verses, 52 Books, 52 Weeks (Week 13: 1 John)

Jim Krenning continues our adventure through Scripture with a special Palm Sunday edition of #ThisWeekAtLittleHills, looking at 1 John. Please join us!
