 To many, the Church today seems irrelevant and commercialized — a place that functions more like the corporate world than a place to worship God. At Foundation Baptist Church, you'll find a family atmosphere, relevant truth to guide your life, and a diverse community of believers who are seeking to grow in their walk with Christ and exalt Him in their lives. |

Sunday Mornings: |
A Name that Changes Everything |
|
| With the success of Dan Browns 2003 best seller “The Da Vinci Code” (later being adapted to film in 2006) and Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ”, there has been a lot of question about who Jesus is. If you were to do a cursory reading of the Bible you would find it says some pretty radical things about him, his nature, why he said he came, and what he’s doing now. John wrote to his followers with the intention that what they read would help them know Jesus, and after knowing Jesus, nothing would ever be the same. |

Sunday Evenings: |
Our Mission: Bigger and more Glorious than You Think |
|
| We all remember where we were and what we were doing when the Twin Towers fell on 9-11. I remember thinking to myself, “We are witnessing something big here.” In some ways the world changed that day…or at least it changed our sense of western stability and security. But the same thing is true when you encounter Jesus Christ: things change. We are now called to a mission that is bigger than ourselves and massive in proportion. But do we really understand it? Join us as we discover that we are part of something of epic proportions and how we don’t have a choice but abandon all for the sake of God’s glory. |

Thursday Evenings: |
Radical |
|
| What part of the Gospel is optional? It’s easy for Canadian Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, and what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family, for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily...but who do you know who lives like that? Do you? Join the conversation as we work through the little book that may just reorder your whole life: Radical by David Platt. |

Love Thy Neighbour
Posted by Pastor Tim on May 14, 2012
Dear Family,
I love the fact that God has promised not to leave us as we were, but is constantly and relentlessly crushing our idols, causing us to worship Him more and more to His glory and for our joy. I want you to know that He is constantly working on me too. I know lots of people don't know what God could be doing in the pastor's life since there is nothing needing to be changed (please read this with much sarcasm), but there is so much that God has been doing in my life over the last little while and it's been amazing to say the least. It's actually kind of tiring. In one week, I can travel through several emotional ranges. These range from being unbelievably excited about my mission, to being completely face down in the bottom of the valley at the recognition of how short I fall of ever accomplishing anything for Christ. But then God reminds me of His gospel and I am soaring again over the mountain peaks. Sometimes these things come in the form of gentle reminders and others in the form of hard conviction. Well, this morning I was reading (admittedly looking for something to encourage me to be on mission this week) and God led me to several articles, all of them telling me that I am not living very radically around my neighbours for sake of making God known to them for their joy and His glory. I read several but one was so practical that I wanted to pass it along to you. The article was written by a guy named Greg Stier. He leads an organization called Dare to Share which is an organization created to mobilize teenagers in gospel work.
The points he suggests are these:
