Little Hills Church: Recent Episodes
Little Hills Church
We are a newly planted chuch energized by Jesus's love for us and ready to show that love to our city.
How do we deal with darkness and uncertainty in life? Can we count on God’s blessing? James helps us to think about this.
We chase after riches, but what happens when those riches — and our lives — come to an end?
James calls us to look for the real wisdom of God rather than the “wisdom” we normally chase after.
How do we understand the difficulties we face in life? James says we can find joy in them — how can that be?
The next set of Proverbs challenge us to think about how our words — even seemingly insignificant ones — can have a huge impact on those around us.
The next set of Proverbs challenge us to think about how our words — even seemingly insignificant ones — can have a huge impact on those around us.
Do we really have to show love to those whom we consider “enemies”? God calls us to show His love to everyone, so let’s think about what that means.
As people struggle through things, it can be hard to understand how to help them. We may not always get it right, but how can we be more Christ-like in helping them through struggles?
Pastor Tim cools off in the pool as we think about cooling off our uncontrolled wills and being more focused on the things God values.
Are our words promising things we have no intent to do that leave people to die or are they much needed refreshment in a hurting world?
How does showing care in how we relay information speak to our state before God? It is part of the broader picture of who we are in Jesus.
Do you like receiving critique and correction? Me, neither. But God offers us loving correction that draws us closer to the beauty He intends and, when we do it right, the correction we give and receive each other can do the same.
Even when we have the truth, we need to figure out how to convey it in love. Conveying truth in love involves caring about how the person we’re speaking to will hear it because of how we say it and when we say it.
When we’re ready to accuse others of missing the mark of righteousness, are we prepared to explore the differences between ourselves and the righteous person too?
We constantly seek to strive for the better position in society, but what if we stopped trying to see ourselves as important and instead saw ourselves humbly?
Seeking wise counsel that will lead us closer to the Lord is at the heart of helping good leaders and being good leaders.
As we continue to explore what good leadership looks like, the next verse in Proverbs 25 helps clue us in: God values virtuous curiosity that neither seeks to needlessly cause trouble nor values stability over truth.
Seeking to understand God’s wisdom is impossible in full, but He still invites us to experience Him and His truth.
We struggle with being thankful when things are still not right, but David helps us to see the opportunity to thank our God right now.
If God is a God of justice (and He is), then how do we live in a time of injustice? David wrestles with this in the middle of Psalm 7.
If God is a God of justice (and He is), then how do we live in a time of injustice? David wrestles with this in the middle of Psalm 7.
David doesn’t ask God to only judge others, but himself, too. How can he do that? Does he believe himself to be above sin? Or is it that his hope isn’t in himself?
Sometimes our attempts to fix our situations we need rescue from go as badly as poorly planned April Fool’s jokes.
The disciples at first saw an empty grave, but not a Risen King. We can find ourselves doing the same.
We pray the Lord’s Prayer anticipating God’s work, but a lot of times His glory and power feels quite distant. Is that the bad news that cancels out the good news that He cares?
Join us for our fourth anniversary of Steadfast, during which we look at how God provides hope even in dark and discouraging times.
Methuselah lived 969 years — longer than anyone else recorded in Scripture. Does that mark success or remind us of failure that creeps around even that long of life?
God calls us to fully face the “norm” of death so we can better understand how He works and how our lives fit into His work.
We can get confused about the image of God in us. Is it just a “photocopy” of God? No, but it does tell us what He values and what He calls us to do.
Sin distorts our ability to understand what God is saying to us and how much we need His mercy.
Sin distorts our ability to understand what God is saying to us and how much we need His mercy.
Sometimes we look at technology as a force opposed to God. But is that what the Bible actually says about about human innovation?
When we find ourselves demanding mercy from God do we see all the mercy He’s already provided? Do we understand the true mercy He’s offering?
We begin a new series in Genesis 4, looking at the impact of sin on early human beings… and all of us today.
Ever feel like you accidentally got an invite to a gathering when you think about what God’s people should look like? We start to wonder: “Do I Belong?”
Join us for a special Christmas Day Steadfast broadcast beginning our journey for the 12 Days of Christmas. We will celebrate the gift of Christmas and all that follows from it.
When we see where God is actually headed with all of us, He equips us to run from “Fake Jesuses” and towards the true Jesus and His victory.
When we see where God is actually headed with all of us, He equips us to run from “Fake Jesuses” and towards the true Jesus and His victory.
Right in the Christmas story, we read the incredible mystery and wonder of what God has done for us.
Even timeless Christmas traditions ultimately prove… less than timeless. Is there anything we can really hold onto?
As we look at the conclusion of Psalm 6 tonight, we explore how David emerges from deep despair even though things aren’t yet fully “right.”
What (or whom) do we trust in when everything seems uncertain? David takes us on a journey to the right place of trust as we continue in Psalm 6.
Sometimes the starting point in desperation is to realize just how desperate we really are.
Feeling anxious? God gets it. God meets us in our worries and assures us that He’s with us.
What do the days we live in indicate? What should we truly be anticipating? As life and the uncertainty of the world swirls around us, God calls us to focus in our anticipation.
As we wait in anticipation we are called to two kinds of peace: the peace of following Gods ways and the peace of knowing His plan will come to fruition.
’
Keeping in mind what is coming can cause us to focus even more on worldly matters, but it shouldn’t. It should help us care more about the world knowing Jesus.
As we look toward the future, there is an urgency mission even as we find ourselves waiting for God’s fulfillment of prophecy. But it requires us to keep our focus.
Our world moves us to ever increasing indifference, but as we pick up in 2 Peter 3, the Apostle calls us to be ready for Jesus’s return.
How do so many other people seem to fall for the “wide gate” of worldliness and we don’t? Or have we fallen for it and we don’t even realize it?
When we feel so far removed from the things to celebrate, can we still have a reason to rejoice?
When we feel like we’re standing in the DMV and missing the paperwork we need, what does God’s Word say to redirect us?
King David reminds us about how God feels about evil — and by seeing that, we’re challenged and encouraged about where we want to be and who we are.
Jesus calls us to a path of healthy sharing of His Kingdom led by discernment and patience.
What do we think of when we wake up? Psalm 5 suggests we change up our first thoughts of the morning to something more refreshing.
When Jesus says that we should get the log out of our own eye before helping someone get a speck out, what does He have in mind? Is He calling us to stop making any moral judgments?
What does Biblical leadership look like? It looks just a “bit” different than what we see in the world.
What does Paul have in mind when he talks about the gift of generosity? Living a generous life is more than just giving a certain percentage of what we have.
Is exhortation merely correcting people around us or is there something deeper to the calling to exhort?
Teachers are sometimes elevated too much while sometimes teaching is held with too little regard. God calls us to something different.
Is service a “second tier” gift? Not according to Paul, who lists it between “prophecy” and “teaching.”
As we look at the gifts that draw the most attention, such as prophecy and tongues, how should we understand them and their place in the church?
Grace isn’t God’s “Plan B.” Grace is the foundation of God’s interaction with His creation.
What does it mean to have gifts in the church? What are their purpose? What is my purpose?
What is our answer to God’s Wisdom? We have to answer the call — it is just a question of how.
What does it look like to actually restore relationships and live out the restoration God does in our lives?
Are the things we count as blessings the true blessings we seek or the forged evidence thereof?
If God’s wisdom works out so much better for us, what causes us to pick other forms of wisdom?
The world claims all kinds of different ways to get real wisdom… but will any of them actually give us wisdom?
What false teaching has crept into our lives? Like a deadly poison it can build up and cause us to miss God’s love.
What does false teaching offer the false teachers? What does it offer those who follow? It’s attractiveness is what gets us into trouble.
Our world wants to say God won’t judge and that all works out regardless of what we do. What does God say?
The Apostle Peter warns us about false teachers, but are we really prepared to spot them?
We’re wrapping up our study of Philippians tonight. Can the very last verse of the book help us better understand how we experience “peace”?
Jesus calls us to be the body of Christ together, yet through bits of fixation there and preferences here we start to divide.
In discussing the Philippians gift that Paul received, he helps us to think about what resources, gift giving and lack all point to.
Our minds wander into a lot of things that are less than God glorifying. Does is it really matter if it stays in the mind?
How do we make sense of Paul’s call to “not be anxious”? When anxiety fills us, it can be hard to simply be told “don’t be anxious.” Is there something more going on here?
Why do we fast, pray or give? Are we seeking the praise of people around us or are we keeping our focus on God?
What does it look like to be a “reasonable” Christian? That’s what Paul calls us to be in Phil. 4, but what does that actually look like?
Please join us for a #Steadfast that talks about #ChurchConflict, the #SuperBowl and #HeGetsUs as part of understanding what is going on in in the next part of Philippians 4.
We know a lot about God’s truth and what He calls us to do. But, do we do it towards those around us with love?
Do we have a purpose in life? Pastor Tim wraps up our series on Psalm 3, looking at our individual callings from God.
The Lord’s Prayer encourages us to see how we should related to God, His Kingdom and our needs.
Are we going through ritual expecting nothing can be done or are we ready for God’s Word to redirect us?
Tonight we look at Isaiah 27 to better understand how Christmas fulfilled long given promises and is a turning point for all of us.
Tonight we look at Isaiah 46 and 49 to better understand the dependability and scope of God’s promises.
Are we trying to impress people or are we doing what God has actually called us to in faithfulness?
Is the future just more of the same or does God have bigger plans for us and the world?
Do we understand just how much forgiveness we need? Do we understand truly the only place we can find it?
This week we explore how we get to be a part of the story we have been following throughout Scripture. And how that affects our attitude.
Do we just want to replace the most obviously broken parts of our life or are we willing to have God completely renew us?
Lots of things get predicted… but do they happen? As we consider the New Covenant, we see that God foretold something that applies to us.
Conventional wisdom leads to conventional failure, but Jesus calls us to set our sights heavenward and experience God’s salvation.
Tonight we consider the stuff that really scares us: our plans crumbling and the uncertainty we can feel about where God in those moments.
Nicodemus came to Jesus wanting to sample His take on God’s Law. Jesus calls both Nicodemus and us to something more.
Last week we explored how things were good in the Beginning. But, just because they were good, why should we think there is good ahead for us?
As we begin a journey over the next nine weeks into what the Bible tells us about where we are going, we start by understanding the start.
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?
As we turn to the next part of Psalm 2, how do we understand the language of the Messiah being “begotten”? What does that tell us about the confidence we can have in Him?
Are we offering cleansing and hope to those in the world? Or are we racing to match the world to the point that we have nothing to offer?
Though it may appear that God isn’t in control in the given moment, Scripture tells us to have confidence in His steadfast love and power.
Where are we looking for our hope and security? Are we helping others to look to Jesus?
We turn to our own plans and end up missing out on both God’s plans for us and understanding Him. Psalm 2 helps us to think about who is really in control and how we can find peace in His control.
We can get fixated on what we do and miss God’s grace, but there is joy as we focus on the wonder of what Jesus has done for us.
When it comes down to it, where do the problems often begin? How can we guard against false teaching? It all comes down to Jesus.
How do we avoid strangling the Word of God in our lives with our own desires and the ideas of the world? That’s the subject of tonight’s Steadfast.
Often times the leaders that seem to draw us in are actually just being self-interested. How do we tell real servant leadership from the show of it?
As we find ourselves constantly confronted with challenges large and small, how do we rejoice? Habakkuk concludes this book with where our focus should be.
Legalism seems to be daunting but we keep following legalistic leaders. Why do we do that and what does God call us to instead?
We follow all sorts of unhelpful things, often convincing ourselves that those things are “following God.” What does being an “unhealthy follower” look like and how do we avoid being one?
As we wrap up our series on Prov. 30, Agur helps us see the wrong attitudes that ensnare us and the better way his wisdom points us to.
What does Godly leadership look like? Agur helps us to consider that in the next verses of Proverbs 30.
The familiar verse “the righteous will live by his faith” is quoted multiple times in the New Testament to remind us of God’s grace through faith. But, it’s point doesn’t stop there — it also assures us of God’s faithfulness in times of trouble.
With fireworks, the best ones are not necessarily just the ones with the best packaging. Likewise, Agur reminds us that the strength the world focuses on isn’t always the most impressive.
Like Habakkuk, we often wonder why God leaves us waiting in the midst of things that just aren’t how they should be. Why does evil prosper? Why does God allow his people to suffer? How do we process these things?
We all love a good story of a “reversal of fortune,” but are they always good? What makes them good? Agur helps us to consider that in the next verses of Proverbs 30.
As we continue a series on Agur’s wise words in Prov. 30, we turn to things that bring wonder and how wonder can lead us to God (or away from Him without the proper “translation”).
What does success really look like? As we continue a series on Agur’s wise words in Prov. 30, we consider how we grasp for success.
What does wisdom really look like? Do we really know as much as we think we do? As we begin a series on Agur’s wise words in Prov. 30, we consider how he challenges our view of wisdom.
What are our motives as we “protect” things we care about? Is it to do what is right or to watch out for our own interests?
As we move to the New Testament, we look at the story of Felix. He invites conversation with Paul, yet with significant barriers he erects. How do we do the same?
This week, we turn to Hezekiah’s son Manasseh and the implications of generations of sin. How does our own sin affect us, those around us and those who come after us?
Join Pastor Tim the story of Hezekiah challenges us on where our trust is situated and what our purpose in life is.
Continuing our series Bad Attitudes, we turn to a story about two of Aaron’s sons and their reckless approach before God… and how we can fall into the same traps.
Continuing our series Bad Attitudes, we turn to a story about two of Aaron’s sons and their reckless approach before God… and how we can fall into the same traps.
A brand new Steadfast series: Bad Attitudes looks at some of the “bad guys” of Scripture and how their misunderstandings of what God was doing and giving them can help us to better see God’s plans for our own lives.
As we wrap up our series tonight, we look at two faithful colleagues of Paul and how their lives point us to what God calls us to show in our own as part of the Church.
How do we empower more and more people to serve in the church? How do we do God’s work with trust? Pastor Tim looks at that in tonight’s journey in Philippians.
Are we shining lights into our world or are we spreading darkness? As we continue in Philippians 2, we’re challenged to think about our role in showing God’s light in this world.
What does it mean to work out our salvation with “fear and trembling”? How does that help us to understand our calling as believers and as the church?
Human nature leads us to want people to think highly of us. But what does the example of Jesus show?
Being the church together is hard. How do we know what “ingredients” we need to rise to the calling God has for us?
How do we understand God saying His Word will harden hearts? What does that mean for us?
Are we called by God? Do we understand our calling any more clearly by way of Isaiah’s?
How do we understand ourselves in relationship to God? Isaiah 6 challenges us to think about that.
As we live as Christians, we face struggles and opposition. Shouldn’t life be easier? Should we find a way to make it easier?
Sometimes the deck appears to stacked and it’s hard to see how life will do anything but go from bad to worse. How do we have joy then?
As we think about joy in dark places, Paul turns to those who are actually preaching the Gospel with the aim of discrediting him. What do we do when people and circumstances seem to want to hurt us?
When things come crashing down and everything feels broken, how can we possibly think about “joy”? We turn to Paul’s letter to the Philippians to find out.
As we move on from the “spectacular” of Christmas, what does the last part of Luke 2 tell us about living in the boring and ordinary?
Do our lives really matter? Does anything we do really matter? Because of Christmas, we have answers to these questions.
So Christmas is over, right? Not so fast! Traditionally the Church celebrated the joy of Jesus’s birth in the days after Christmas and after a hard couple of years, there are some very good reasons from God’s Word to pick that tradition up.
Join us as Little Hills celebrates Christmas Eve! During the service we will share in the culmination of our journey through the Spirit’s Work at Christmas that we have been exploring over Advent. Jim Krenning, Joyce Neikirk and Pastor Tim will share from God’s Word and Melanie Haynes will lead us in a Christmas carol to celebrate that our Savior is born!
Zechariah and Mary both asked the question we often ask of God: “How can this be?” As we think about the Spirit’s work, we understand better the answer for both them and for us.
The Christmas Story is full of a special kind of gift giving. But have those gifts been misplaced?
God has guided His People over history. As we look at that history, does it tell us anything about how He views us today?
What is the true Spirit of Christmas? This year, we’re going to be thinking about how the Holy Spirit works throughout the story of Jesus’s coming and what His continued work means for us today.
What do we do when it appears that to do good towards others conflicts with following God’s law? Is it bad to do good?
We often struggle to understand the difference between legalism and keeping God’s Law. So did the Pharisees. To understand this difference, we must consider what God’s Law says and what it is meant to do.
Who is the real lawbreaker? The Pharisees thought Jesus was. In this series we’ll turn to Luke 5 and 6 to think about God’s Law, legalism and restoring grace.
As we conclude our exploration of Solomon’s prayer of dedication for the temple, we’ve returned multiple times to our failures and need for forgiveness. Solomon also speaks of justice. How do we balance justice and mercy?
As we continue to explore the prayer dedicating the temple, what does that prayer reveal about its purpose? Was the temple merely a way to encourage Israel’s worship of the Lord or did God direct them (and us) towards something more?
Solomon prayed for victory, but does his prayer mean whatever “victories” we want are just a prayer away?
Failure and forgiveness. It’s in the center of Solomon’s temple prayer and it is in the center of our actions and God’s response to them.
As the Temple built to worship God was dedicated, King Solomon stopped and prayed to the Lord. In the king’s prayer, we are pointed to truths about God is, what He does for us and how we can come before Him today.
Can we experience God’s peace even in the midst of discouragement? David contemplates this in the last part of Psalm 4.
We’re called to feel peace and yet anger can boil up so easily in the midst of the turmoils of life. What do we do with that as we seek to follow Jesus?
Do you feel a lack of peace in life? Join us as a we start a series exploring Psalm 4 and what it tells us about true peace. This week: what about situations when we are humiliated and attacked?
When God places donkeys in our lives, do we pay attention? Or do we convince ourselves that our actions don’t really matter and so we can do whatever we want?
As we continue exploring the story of Balaam, a man who teetered between listening to the Lord and listening to the world around him, we consider how God uses people (and donkeys) like us.
Talking donkeys? Paid prophets? What’s going on here? Balaam and his donkey (Numbers 22) help us to think about facing temptations and living faithfully as we start a new series tonight. In the series, we’ll look at this man who teetered between listening to the Lord and listening to the world around him and see the ways we struggle with the same.
What is our mission today as a church and as individuals? How does it affect what we do in our daily lives?
God calls us to unity, but the Church struggles to follow that calling. What does being one who seeks to live according to the “bond of peace” really look like for us?
What are Baptism and the Lord’s Supper meant to do? How do we make sense of them? Are they mere empty rituals? Things we can do to save ourselves? Something else?
What should we believe about God’s Word? What does God’s Word tell us about itself? How should we approach it if people have used God’s Word to hurt us? Those are questions we look at tonight.
Do I see myself as I am? Do I see how God sees me? Tonight on Steadfast, we look at those important questions and how God turns the “Fall from Grace” on its head.
Why did God create me? How does understanding who God is help us to better understand His love for us? As we begin a new series looking at core beliefs the Bible teaches, we start at the one who starts everything: God.
Jesus tells us He will return and judge the world. What does that really mean? Should we be afraid? As we wrap up “the Future is Here,” Pastor Tim will help us consider these questions.
What does waiting for Jesus’s return look like? Are we just trying to “make it through” until the end? This week we turn to Matthew 25:14-30, looking at the “Parable of the Talents” and what it says to us about what God calls us to do with our lives right now.
What kind of service prepares us for Jesus’s return? Pastor Tim continues our series in Matthew 24-25, looking this week at how we are “good” in God’s eyes.
Are we prepared for Jesus’s return? Pastor Tim continues our series in Matthew 24-25, looking this week at Jesus’s call that we always be prepared.
Pastor Tim continues our series in Matthew 24-25, looking this week at persecution, its results and our hope in the midst of it.
As we continue our series “the Future is Here,” Pastor Tim digs into Jesus’s warnings about those who will lead many astray — false Messiahs and false prophets.
As Pastor Tim takes us to Matthew 24 for our new message series on the End Times, we need to think of 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.
The Bible says we should care for the poor, but also suggests limits on what we do. How do we understand that balance so we can be Christ-like to those around us?
Pastor Tim continues our series in Proverbs, considering what the Proverbs tell us about whom we should spend time around.
As we wrap up “alive,” we find that the resurrection speaks to more than just us having a body again: it speaks to restoration for the world.
What does it mean to be resurrected? We have lots of ideas, but are they what God is actually promising? Join Pastor Tim tonight as we consider that question.
Pastor Tim continues our series “Alive,” by looking at the promise of resurrection for each of us. Is that just a comforting myth to help us cope with death or is a hope we can count on?
The hope of Easter is based on the foundation that Jesus intended to, was able to and did accomplish salvation for us. Join Pastor Tim as we begin our new series “Alive,” thinking about the power of the resurrection.
This Week at Little Hills streams every Sunday night with a brief thought from God’s Word and a preview of the upcoming week at the church. This year we are embarking on a journey through the Psalms, looking at three Psalms each week. Please join us!
The last of the poisons in our series is “discord.” How do we know when we are causing discord and when we are standing up for what is good and righteous?
We would never steal… or would we? As we continue “Six Poisons,” we turn to the topic of false witnesses and how we can steal something precious from those around us.
On this one year anniversary of Steadfast, we continue our series, “Six Poisons,” thinking about the evil plans we can allow ourselves to fall into — and God’s better plans.
We have so much we feed our anger on: politics, our neighbors, pop culture, the world in general. Is that what God has called us to?
What does it mean to have a lying tongue? Why does the Proverb distinguish it from bearing false witness? Join Pastor Tim as we continue our series on Six Poisons from Proverbs 6.
As Pastor Tim begins our new series on the six poisons listed in Proverbs 6:16-19, we turn to one that often leads to the others: pride.
Pastor Tim wraps up our current series, looking at the judgment of God and how even judgment is a call to delight in the one who shows us mercy.
Pastor Tim continues our series from Psalm 1, looking at what it means to be a “tree planted by streams of water.” It tells us more about God’s care than we might think at first!
Pastor Tim begins a new series on Psalm 1. Please join us as we think about what it means to be a “happy” person.
Pastor Tim wraps up our series “Renewed” looking the call to live peaceably. (And yes, that includes some hot coals on peoples’ heads.)
As we continue our series in 2 Corinthians 13 tonight, Pastor Tim considers what it means to be “of one mind” as Paul calls on Christians to be.
As Paul exhorts the Corinthians at the end of his letter, we are called to be people who comfort each other. What does that mean?
Join us as Pastor Tim begins a new series thinking about how God renews us, first by restoring how we understand Him.
Tonight, as we wrap up “the Weary World Rejoices,” we look at the story of Simeon and Anna and how their reaction to Jesus as a baby helps us think about how we should respond in joy.
Join us as Little Hills has its first Christmas Eve service! We will stream the lighting of the Christ Candle, to complete our Advent Candle lightings, and then turn to God’s Word to meditate on it as we prepare our hearts for Christmas Day.
Pastor Tim continues our series, “the Weary World Rejoices.” This week, we will look at what the story of the Gabriel and his messages for Zechariah and Mary tell us about our own wait to see God’s work in our lives.
Pastor Tim continues our series, “the Weary World Rejoices.” This week, we will look at the hope we discover in the Shepherds’ story.

Pastor Tim wraps up our series Go looking at the crucial promise of the Great Commission: Jesus goes with us.
Are we stagnating or are we learning? How are we doing helping others with that question? Pastor Tim tonight leads us to consider those questions in light of Jesus’s command to teach each other as his disciples.
What’s the mission of Jesus’s church? What’s His mission for each of us? That’s what we are considering on tonight’s Steadfast.
What do we do with the outcome of tomorrow? Scripture happens to tell us precisely what we should do. Please join Pastor Tim for this Election-eve Steadfast.
What does God look for in a leader? Join Pastor Tim tonight to think about that question and how it should guide us as we go to the polls.
How does the sort of leader we imagine stack up to what God values? How do we find our blind spots? Join Pastor Tim tonight for the second part of our series exploring these questions through the life of King Saul.
Scriptures call us to turn and trust in God in uncertain times, yet political voices beckon for our trust. What should we do as we face a chaotic world in a most unusual year?
Temptations appear in seasons. How does Jesus’s temptation in the wilderness help us better understand how we prepare for those seasons?
Satan tempted Jesus, yet He did not fall to those temptations. Tonight we consider our temptation to seek shortcuts in faithfulness.
Pastor Tim continues our series “the Temptations,” looking at how we are all tempted to misuse God’s faithfulness and what God calls us to do to avoid that.
Satan tempted Jesus, yet He did not fall to those temptations. Over the next three weeks, we’ll see how His overcoming was for us.
As we wrap up “Follow Me,” Pastor Tim takes into 1 John 4:9-12 to consider what it looks like to follow Jesus into brotherly affection and love.
Pastor Tim continues our series “Follow Me” thinking about our calling to godliness, what that has to do with legalism and, maybe, even a little discussion of ballpark nachos. We’ll sort it all out by going to James 1:21-25.
God calls us to self-control and endurance. What does that look like? How do we do it? Pastor Tim considers that with an exploration of our continue struggles with these things from the very beginning.
What does it mean when God calls us to “knowledge” as a way to bolster our faith? What is God’s knowledge like? That’s the subject of this week’s Steadfast.
Pastor Tim begins our new series, “Follow Me.” God calls us to follow Him. The best part? As we follow him, we learn more about the one whom we follow.
Join Pastor Tim at 7 pm (Central) as we wrap up “Growing” by looking at the hope we have as we look towards God’s promises being fulfilled in the future.
Peter challenges us tonight to look at how God is the God of History so that we can have confidence in how he has acted in history. Join Pastor Tim as we dig into 2 Peter 1:12-18.
Are we seeing who we are clearly? Peter challenges us to examine our spiritual “sight.” Join Pastor Tim as we look to 2 Peter 1:9-11 to find out our prescription.
Join Pastor Tim tonight as we continue to explore what it looks like to grow as a Christian from 2 Peter 1:5-8 — and how (not) to do it.
Jesus saves us with His “power” and offers us to “partake of his divine nature.” What does this mean? How does it relate to us growing as Christians? Join Pastor Tim as we dig into 2 Peter 1:3-4.
Join Pastor Tim as we explore Peter’s loving guidance at the end of his life to believers on how we grow and experience God’s grace. Tonight we consider who is “worth” growing.
As we conclude our series, “Who is My Neighbor,” Pastor Tim takes us back to the Parable of the Good Samaritan one more time to consider what Jesus calls us to when it comes to how “much” we need to love.
Pastor Tim talks about loving our neighbors whom we separate out as “different” than ourselves as we continue our series on the parable of the Good Samaritan.
Join us tonight as Pastor Tim begins a series on the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), thinking about how we love the people God places into our lives.
