Jesus vs. Acme (August 16, 2026)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 5:30 PM

This week’s sermon:

A mute man speaks, and the crowd says nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel. The Pharisees watch the same moment and reach for another explanation. Matthew 9 puts those two reactions side by side.

The Super Soaker Wasn't the Point (August 9, 2026)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

This week’s sermon:

Saying the right things about Jesus can feel like a low-risk move until He keeps walking and we have to follow. The next part of our journey in Matthew 9 leads us to face the uncomfortable junction of faith and faithfulness.

God Works Where You Least Expect (November 23, 2025)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

This week’s sermon:

We tend to assume God works through the right people, in the right places, with the right credentials. Isaiah 44–45 is genuinely jarring to our assumptions: the Lord names a pagan, idol-worshiping foreign king as the one who will restore His people to their land.

Electric Eels, Black Ice, and the God You Can't Derail (November 9, 2025)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 11:30 PM

Sunday night’s message:

Solomon, Rehoboam, and Jeroboam all treated God’s promises like something they could improve on or control on their own terms only to encounter the pavement courtesy of the black ice of sin. Our efforts end like that, but God’s faithfulness outlasts our failures.

Christmas in July Messiah (July 21, 2024)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 10:30 PM

This week’s sermon:

We can say all the right things about Jesus and still expect the wrong things from him. In Luke 19, the crowd welcomes its King with praise, peace, and glory—but what happens when the Savior we celebrate does not pursue the earthly victory, security, or power we wanted?

The Problem You Want Fixed (November 26, 2023)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 11:30 PM

This week’s sermon:

We all arrive at Advent carrying something broken—a diagnosis, a fraying relationship, a season that feels anything but joyful—and our instinct is right: we want God to fix it. In John 6, the crowd feels exactly that after watching Jesus feed five thousand people, so they move to do something about it. The question the passage presses on us is whether we actually understand what problem he came to fix.

Whom Do We Serve? (September 19, 2022)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 7:00 PM

As we conclude this Psalm, we turn to the question of what are we going to do? Are we making the right choices with our service?
