Christmas at Little Hills
God is with us — that’s what we celebrate at Christmastime! As we enter into this season, we are going to take time to look at the real, genuine gift of Christmas in contrast to the far less satisfying things that distract us from that beautiful gift.
This Week at Little Hills
Pastor Tim is celebrating Christmas in July by thinking about how God gives us gifts available all year long, not just at Christmas.
The Son's Glory is the Father's Glory
God’s glory is God’s glory — there is only one God. So if we want to share God’s glory and see it spread through the world, we share the hope of Jesus.
Who's in Charge Now?
Pastor Tim talks about how we live and understand God’s control of the world in the time before Jesus returns.
Who Gets a Car for Christmas Anyway?
Pastor Tim talks about extravagant gifts and what the Bible says about the truly extravagant gift we receive at Christmas because of the very first Christmas.

The Joys of Christmas
As we give gifts small or large, simple or snazzy, this Christmas, this year’s devotional booklet invites us to reflect on the profound ways in which God gifts us to give the best sort of gifts to others. We will go on a twelve day journey through Galatians 5:22-26, exploring how the Holy Spirit transforms us to embody the essence of Christmas hope in the year ahead.
A Year's Changes Come Slowly
Pastor Tim spent time in Busiek State Forest to better think about the time between the Newborn servant coming into the world and when we, His followers, will get to experience His triumph.
This Week at Little Hills
Pastor Tim thinks about how God brought light into existence, we turn from the light, but Christmas is the story of God bringing that light back to us.
He Was Like Me, I'll Be Like Him
Jesus Came to Break the Glass
Maybe you’ve had a Christmas where the lights and the music were all there, but it felt like you were watching from the other side of a piece of glass—present for the season, yet not really in it. Isaiah 53 describes a Savior understands how we feel on that other side of the glass and came to break it.
This Week at Little Hills
Pastor Tim thinks about how we look to the wrong things in life and how Christmas calls us to a corrective.
The Lemonade of Life
We feel like we deserve more and claim that deserved state whenever we have the opportunity. But, God gave us what we don’t deserve and calls us to give to those who don’t deserve.

Christmas Eve at Little Hills
Join us on December 24 at 7 pm on Christmas Eve as Little Hills — a special moment to prepare our hearts for Christmas Day. During the service we will share in the culmination of our journey through the Four Gospels telling of the Savior’s arrival. We will share in readings from God’s Word, singing Christmas carols and enjoy a candlelight service to celebrate that our Savior is born!
Blue Christmas
As we approach the Christmas season, we often feel weighed down by losses, hurts and disappointments that seem to conflict with all the celebrations around us. Blue Christmas is meant to help us bring these things before our God, who understands. Christmas, after all, is about Him coming into the world to restore the things that are broken — including us.
This service will be both in-person and live streamed at 7 pm on December 13. Please join us in-person if you can; if you cannot, you can find the service on your favorite streaming service below. For those watching online, consider having a candle available to light at a time you will be prompted to do so later in the service.
