Where Is Jesus? (April 9, 2023)

On Easter, we celebrate God’s great reversal, yet many of us still carry wildernesses where things feel anything but right. Mary Magdalene was in such a wilderness in John 20 as she wept outside of the tomb. In the wilderness, we often cannot see when Jesus is right in front of us.

Easter at Little Hills

Reflecting on Jesus's Sacrifice and Celebrating His Love

This week we reflect on the unfathomable price Jesus paid to offer us the hope of salvation. We have several special moments planned to help us focus on what He has done for us and we hope that you will share them with us.

You Counterfeited My Cheese! (April 3, 2023)

The Apostle Peter warns us about false teachers, but are we really prepared to spot them?

The Big Box Problem (April 2, 2023)

We’ve always been better at hailing the leader who delivers what we want than trusting the one God has actually sent. Way back in Numbers 12 and 16, even Moses’ own family turns on him for not being the kind of leader they expected. Can we see God’s working any more clearly than they did?

Maundy Thursday

A Holy Week Meditation on Jesus's Love

Little Hills will be streaming a special Maundy Thursday journey through the Gospels’ account of the night Jesus was betrayed and the crucifixion. Please share this time with us, as we reflect on the wondrous love of our Savior.

Pastor Tim takes us to the book of Hosea, where we are reminded of how it is never too late to experience God’s forgiveness.

We Need a Grace Stop (March 27, 2023)

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”?

The Majority Was Wrong (March 26, 2023)

God had been leading Israel every step of the way—parting the Red Sea, dropping food from the sky, guiding them with a pillar of fire at night—and still, when twelve spies came back from the promised land, ten of them said it couldn’t be done, and the crowd went with them. Numbers 13 and 14 ask a question we face too: when the majority says no, does that settle it?

This Week at Little Hills: Micah (March 23, 2023)

Pastor Tim takes us to the book of Micah to think about how God always surrounds us with His grace — even in His judgment.

Shaving Away Unity (March 20, 2023)

Jesus calls us to be the body of Christ together, yet through bits of fixation there and preferences here we start to divide.
