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. God is forming us into a people who look “just like Jesus,” not by effort alone but by intimacy, grace, and renewal.Join us in-person or online at 9 or 11am—and bring a friend.

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?

Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 23:1-12: We all wear masks sometimes—at work, at home, even at church. In Matthew 23:1–12, Jesus exposes the snare of hypocrisy: performing for approval instead of living from love. He warns against chasing status, image and spiritual performance, calling us instead to the quiet strength of humility. True greatness isn’t about being noticed—it’s about serving others with an honest heart. Jesus frees us from the exhausting need to impress and invites us into rest, joy and authenticity before God.Join us in person or online this Sunday at 9 or 11am—and bring a friend!

Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 22:34-46: When Jesus was asked what mattered most—His answer was stunningly simple: Love God. Love people. In a world of endless debates and distractions, Jesus brings us back to the heart of true faith: wholehearted love that integrates every part of who we are.This week, we’ll explore what it really means to love God with all our heart, soul and mind—and to love our neighbours as ourselves. How do we live out that love in a world that often rewards division and self-interest? What does Jesus’ question about the Messiah reveal about who He truly is and the kind of love He calls us to embody?Join us at 9am or 11am as we rediscover that the greatest command is not a rule to follow, but a relationship to live—rooted in the One who loved us first.

Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 22:23–33: What happens after we die? It’s the question that unsettles us most—and the one Jesus answers with surprising clarity in Matthew 22:23–33. When challenged by skeptics, He reveals that the resurrection isn’t just life continued, but a whole new reality beyond our imagination. Marriage, love, and even life itself all find their true fulfillment in Him. The God we worship is not the God of the dead but of the living—offering real hope that death doesn’t get the final word.We’re gathering back home at Foothills for one service this Sunday @ 10am.

Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 22:15–22: In Matthew 22:15–22, Jesus is confronted with a trap: should God’s people pay taxes to Caesar? His answer reveals far more than clever wisdom—it shows us what it means to live faithfully in a world of competing powers. We are called to give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, but even more, to give to God what is God’s—our very lives. True freedom and authority come not from political systems, but from the presence and power of God revealed in Jesus. While cleaning continues at Foothills after the fire, we are grateful to gather at RockPointe Church Bearspaw this Sunday at 1 PM. Join us—and bring a friend!

Matthew 22-25 - Matthew 22:1-14: We all know what it’s like to miss the point at times, don’t we?  How do we determine what is truly important in a day and age where we have so many different things competing for our time and attention?  Join us as we look more closely at a story Jesus told in the book of Matthew 22:11-14 to help us understand what is truly important in this life and how we can live into this every day.  Please join us at RockPointe Bearspaw at 1pm on Sunday and bring a friend!

Abide - John 15:12-17: What if the One who created everything didn’t just rule over you, but actually called you His friend? In John 15:12–17, Jesus gives one clear command: love each other the way He has loved us. That love isn’t soft—it’s real, costly, and willing to sacrifice. Jesus doesn’t just want servants; He wants friends who trust Him enough to follow His lead. And when we do, our lives bear lasting impact.We’re gathering at RockPointe Church Bearspaw at 1pm this Sunday. Join us—and bring a friend!

Abide - John 15:9–13: Loneliness is one of the deepest struggles of our time, but Jesus offers us something greater—true friendship in His kingdom. In John 15:9–13, He invites us to remain in His love, to experience joy that is complete, and to love one another as He has loved us. Kingdom friendship isn’t disposable; it’s rooted in God’s heart, centered in Christ’s love, and marked by sacrifice—even laying down one’s life. In this season after our church fire, while cleaning continues at Foothills, we’re so grateful to gather at RockPointe Church Bearspaw. Join us there this Sunday at 1 PM in person and online.

Abide - John 15:1-8: This new year hasn’t started the way we expected. After the small fire in our facility, we’ve had to pivot, change some ministry plans and gather offsite—but maybe that’s part of what God is doing in us. In John 15, Jesus says He is the True Vine and that the Father prunes the branches so they can bear more fruit. Pruning isn’t easy, but it leads to growth, life, and joy. As we remain connected to Jesus, we can experience His peace, answered prayer, and a fruitful life that glorifies God. Join us this Sunday @ 2pm at Rockpointe Church - Bearspaw as we lean into this season together and discover how Jesus meets us—even in unexpected places.

Jonah - Relentless Love of God - Jonah 3-4: If you've ever been on the receiving end of compassion, you know how lifechanging it can be--especially when the alternative would have been very negative. As we conclude our journey through the book of Jonah this week, the story focuses on a revolting people group (the Ninevites) and a resistant prophet (Jonah) who both receive miraculous compassion from God, yet their responses are entirely different. We are meant to see ourselves in Jonah's story, and wrestle with the fact that God sends the resistant and spares the revolting to save the repentant.
