The King & the Cross - Matthew 27:27-44: Every coronation comes with crowns, robes, applause and power. Jesus gets the opposite. In Matthew 27:27–44, the true King is stripped, beaten, mocked and crowned with thorns. It’s an anti-coronation - no throne, no speech, just spit and a cross. Why? Because He refuses to save Himself so He can save us. The King wears our shame, carries our curse and endures our mockery to bring healing to the world. This isn’t weakness. It’s redemptive love. Come see the Mocked King - and discover the freedom found in His sacrifice.Join us in person and online at 9 or 11am. Bring a friend!

The King & the Cross - Matthew 27:11-14: Life is full of choices. We make choices every day. Some of the choices we make are small and seemingly inconsequential, but some are more important and really matter. Join us this Sunday as we explore Matthew 27:11-14 and consider the most important choice we each need to make - how we will respond to Jesus? No choice matters more than this. Join us in person and online at 9 or 11am. Bring a friend!

The King & the Cross - Matthew 26:69-27:10: We often think denial is a massive failure we’d see coming, but it’s usually a slippery slope that starts subtle and ends profane. This Sunday, we explore the parallel falls of Peter and Judas in Matthew 26:69–27:10. We’ll discover that regret has a limited reach and remorse alone can lead to ruin - neither can truly save us. So, join us as we find hope in the only One who offers us redemption.

The King & the Cross - Matthew 26:47-68: We spend our lives chasing control - power, leverage, the ability to protect ourselves. Then we meet Jesus in chains. In Matthew 26:47–68, the most powerful man who ever lived is betrayed with a kiss, arrested without resistance, tried unjustly, mocked and spat on. And yet, He is not a victim. He is a volunteer. Jesus refuses the sword, entrusts His reputation to the Father and absorbs humiliation to bring freedom to others. This is the upside-down power of the kingdom: strength through surrender, victory through humility, life through the cross. Come explore the Humiliated King - and the freedom He offers.Join us in person and online at 9 or 11am. Bring a friend!

The King & the Cross - Matthew 26:31–46: When life gets heavy, we tend to do one of two things: stumble in disappointment or drift into spiritual sleep. In Matthew 26:31–46, Jesus faces betrayal, fear, and crushing pressure—and shows us a better way. Not grit. Not bravado. But surrender. In the garden, Jesus meets weakness with prayer, suffering with obedience, and fear with trust in the Father. This is a story for anyone tired of holding it together and wondering where strength actually comes from. Join us this Sunday as we explore scandal, slumber, and the freedom found in surrender.Join us in person and online at 9 or 11am—bring a friend!

The King & the Cross - Matthew 26:17-30: So much of our lives revolve around food. We plan our meals, we look forward to special dinners, we gather around the table with family and friends to celebrate significant occasions. If you knew you only had one more chance to share a meal with people you are close with, people you love, who would they be? In this week's passage, we are closing in on the last few days of Jesus' life and He was faced with this scenario. We see Him gather with the twelve disciples, His closest friends over the past three years. This would be their last meal together. But there would be a dramatic twist in the plot. Those that are closest to us can sometimes be the ones who hurt us the most. Jesus was about to experience this terrible reality. Join us as we journey with Jesus through this intimate moment with His closest followers. You might be surprised by where you find yourself in the story.

The King & the Cross - Matthew 26:1-16: What does love look like? A flutter of emotion? A deep commitment? We may not define love easily, but we recognize it when we see it. This Sunday we meet an unnamed woman whose extraordinary act of devotion to Jesus is both surprising and beautiful. While others misunderstand her or act from greed and self‑interest, her extravagant gift reveals what true love really is. Her story invites us to love Jesus with the same wholehearted generosity - and to let His love flow through us.Join us for worship this Sunday at 9am or 11am.Bring a friend!

2033 - 1 Peter 2:9-12: Who are we—really? As we continue our vision series, 1 Peter 2:9–12 calls us to live into the identity God has already given us. We are a chosen people, marked by mercy, freed for purpose and sent into the world as a visible witness to Jesus. This message isn’t about becoming something new through effort, but about becoming who we already are in Christ. As we reimagine our future together, this text reminds us that lasting mission flows from transformed identity—not exhaustion, fear or pressure. Come be reminded of who you are, whose you are and why it matters now more than ever.Join us in person or online at 9 or 11am.

2033 - 1 Peter 2:1-10: As we step into a new year, we’re also stepping into a fresh season as a church. For the next four weeks, we’re unpacking what we’re hearing from Jesus as we re-shape our vision, mission, and values for the decade ahead. This Sunday, we begin with 1 Peter 2:1–10—a powerful reminder that Jesus invites us to come closer, grow deeper, and live out a brand-new identity rooted in His mercy.

New Year - John 6:1-14: As we close out the year, many of us are tired, stretched thin and unsure how much we have left to give. This Sunday, we’ll look at the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 and discover how it speaks directly into moments like these. When the disciples were exhausted, overwhelmed by a massive problem and holding only a meager offering, Jesus met them with compassion, perspective and miraculous provision. Together, we’ll explore what it means for God’s plans to become His people’s purpose—and how Jesus invites us to bring what little we have and trust Him to do what only He can do.

Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 25:31-46: What if Jesus showed you the “film” of your life—not to shame you, but to reveal who you really are? In Matthew 25:31–46, Jesus speaks as the true King who will one day set everything right. And the surprising marker of those who belong to Him isn’t power, platform or spiritual performance—it’s simple, courageous love for people in need. Our compassion doesn’t earn us a place in God’s kingdom, but it does reveal what kind of story we’re living. This Sunday, we’ll explore what it means to follow a King who identifies Himself with “the least of these.”Join us in-person or online at 9 or 11am—and bring a friend!

Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 25:1-13: Waiting is hard—especially when it feels like nothing is happening. In Matthew 25:1–13, Jesus tells a story about bridesmaids who were ready…and some who weren’t. It’s a vivid picture of the Christian life: we’re all waiting for the Bridegroom, but only those who prepare their hearts will share in His joy. This passage invites us to examine where we may be procrastinating in our faith—and to remember that Jesus’ return is not about fear, but about the fullness of God’s presence and a feast that never ends.Join us in-person or online this Sunday at 9 or 11am—and bring a friend!

Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 24:36-51: Most of us like to be prepared—but Jesus says there’s one thing we can’t plan for: the exact timing of His return. In Matthew 24:36–51, He reminds us that no one knows the day or the hour, so the call isn’t to predict—but to stay awake. Just like Noah built the ark before the rain, we’re invited to live ready, alert and full of purpose. Jesus’ return isn’t meant to spark fear, but to stir faith and faithfulness. Now is the time to wake up and live for what lasts.Join us in-person or online this Sunday at 9 or 11am—and bring a friend!

Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 24:22-35: The world often feels overwhelming: wars and global tensions, rampant misinformation, natural disasters and crises of our own making. It all raises the question—how do we respond? And where can we find real hope?This Sunday we continue in Matthew 24, where Jesus answers the disciples’ “What’s next?” questions, reminding us that even in uncertain times we can trust the One who reigns now and forever. He is coming and He is our hope.And after each service, we’ll join together to write prayers and verses on the floor of our Worship Centre—tangible expressions of our hope in Jesus and our desire for Him to work in and through Foothills Alliance Church as we follow Him.Join us this Sunday online or in person at 9 or 11am— and bring a friend!

Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 24:1-21: Pain has a way of waking us up. In Matthew 24:1–21, Jesus describes a world marked by turmoil—false teachers, conflict and loss—but He calls these moments “birth pains,” not random chaos. Just as labour leads to new life, God is bringing His redemption to completion. Even when faith is tested and love grows cold, Christ invites us to stand firm, stay alert and keep our hope anchored in Him. The finish line isn’t fear—it’s the faithful presence of Jesus leading us home.Join us in-person or online this Sunday at 9 or 11am—and bring a friend!

Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 23:13-39: Do you ever find yourself going through life, feeling like you’re carrying a heavy burden? Carrying some extra baggage? Some of those things are things we choose to carry. And some are placed upon us by others. In Matthew 23:13-39, Jesus tackles the latter, accusing the Pharisees of being hypocrites and making life hard by creating rules and a way of living that weighs people down. Jesus has some harsh things to say about this and judgement that might come as a surprise. Come find out why Jesus hates hypocrisy and respond to His invitation to lay down our burdens and embrace His life-giving blessing.

Missions Emphasis Sunday Nov 2025 - 2 Timothy 2:2, 1Thessalonians 2:5-12: Determining the relationship is a popular expression early in a relationship. We start at the Allurement stage, when we are attracted to their “eyes”. Next is the Exploration stage, when we explore backgrounds such as likes and dislikes. Soon we are faced with the decision to Go Deeper, and that is when things really get serious. Lastly, that forever Commitment stage is in front of us, when you entrust yourself to “jump in with both feet.” This Sunday, we're going to examine the stage of relationship with God and ultimately ask the question, "Am I ready to be fully committed?
