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!

The Christmas Story is full of a special kind of gift giving. But have those gifts been misplaced?
