We all want to avoid destruction and tragedy. And given our own inclinations, we all move away from the very source of escape from those things.
Pastor Tim reflects on the continuing impact of Easter and our opportunity to think more deeply about that.
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.
As we wrap up our exploration of Psalm 9, we’re confronted with a question: are we living in the path of the sin storm or turning the shelter of God?
Over Lent, we have been looking at how sin sneaks into our lives in unexpected ways. During Holy Week, we will look at a few particularly “sneaky snakes” and the one who has overcome all our sins.
Christ the Lord is Risen! Back at the origin point of sin, God promised that He would raise up the One who would crush the serpent and rescue humanity from death. On Easter, we see He did just that.

Selfishness is sneaky—it feels like commonsense in the moment. As the disciples sat right in front of Jesus, they struggled with the same self-centered question we all are challenged: “But what about me?”
We continue to explore Psalm 9 by returning to what God values. Are we keeping our focus and our actions on Him or veering off course?
God had just routed the mightiest army of the ancient world on Hezekiah’s behalf, then healed him from a terminal illness—and somehow, facing the next threat, Hezekiah forgot both and went looking for an ally he could hold onto. Isaiah 39 traces how that forgetfulness works in a believing heart, and why it’s the sneakiest danger of all.
Why is Pastor Tim wearing a fall shirt on a spring day? Context is important in all sorts of parts of life — and very, very important when trying to understand who God is.
When we read about God’s judgment, we can wonder if God is the one putting us into bad places and how it could possibly be that someone who is loving would do that. Scripture helps us see things are actually a “tad” different than that.
