God Is Not a Waiter (May 25, 2026)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 12:00 AM

This week’s Steadfast:

Most people instinctively know the difference between ordering at a restaurant and eating at a friend’s table—yet that same distinction somehow disappears in how they approach God. Proverbs 3:9 calls believers to honor the Lord with their wealth and the first fruits of all their produce, not as a business transaction or a path to guaranteed earthly blessing, but as an act of worship that reshapes what winning actually means.

Hurling Chunks of Concrete (July 20, 2025)

This week’s sermon:

Contagious Thanksgiving: More Than Thanking the Current Resident (November 24, 2024)

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 11:30 PM

Sunday night’s message:

Amid turkey and pie and football, we can list what we’re thankful for and still miss the point. Psalm 95 won’t let us settle for vague gratitude; it calls us to sing to the Lord and come into His presence with thanksgiving to the rock of our salvation.
