As we continue our series on Resilient Hope, we find some surprises as one of the great heroes of the faith finds his courage faltering and hope evaporating in the midst of intimidating threats – despite a stunning track record of powerful displays of God’s presence and provision.  Join us this week as Pastor Jeremy points us to how we might find hope when courage seems to be running out.

There is often significant stigma attached to issues of mental health, but many people we know are suffering in silence because we don’t know how to talk about it.  In a time of great disruption, there is an increasing number of people that are dealing with diminishing mental health. Guest speaker Brett Ullman shares from personal experience and helps us understand and address mental health issues...

In this time of physical distancing and restrictions, it is easy to experience isolation and disconnection from others. Yet time and again, in scripture, we read of the importance of connection and relationship. So how can we be "In It Together" while still honouring our existing health guidelines? Join us online as we look at a story of four friends and what they were willing to do because they w...

We are a world in need of hope!  Countless people around the world have experienced one of the most difficult years ever, and many have found that their sources of hope and reasons for hope have been found insufficient for all that life continues to throw at them.  How can we cultivate a resilient hope that prevails in the midst of chronic crisis and difficulty?  Pastors Jeremy and Lisa kick off o...

2020 has been a year, unlike any other - it has brought with it experiences and emotions that we may not be able to properly process. For many, the response is to push ahead and leave the past behind. But what if the real value of this season is in the lessons we can learn? Join us online as you hear from our staff team about how they have been processing their 2020 experience. Be encouraged that...

If you were asked to describe 2020, I think it would be safe to say that peace would not be one of the first words to come out of your mouth. Throughout our lives, peace is often an elusive feeling that we are continually chasing, which we just can't seem to grasp. Join us online as we wrap up our Advent series and take time to ask - what if peace is closer than we think?

In our lives we all have some thoughts that come to mind when we hear the word "dad." These thoughts could range from good, to bad, to ugly and everywhere in between.  So when we hear God described as Father, many of our experiences with our own fathers cloud the picture of what God could be like.  Join us online as we look at Jesus as one who reveals an unchanging picture of who God is as we seek...

Beyond Compare |St. Albert Alliance December 6, 2020 Service Welcome to the St. Albert Alliance Church Digital Gathering! There are times in life that it is hard to see a way forward. The situation we find ourselves in seem beyond our ability to get through.  Often these are moments of crisis or trails.  Into a difficult situation Isaiah declares good news that to us a Child is born and one of his...

We know that much of our Christmas preparations will be different this year, but the call of Advent to prepare our hearts remains the same. At a time when uncertainty is at its height, what does it mean to know the one who is Wonderful Counsellor? Join us online as we begin our Advent journey, and join together to Prepare Him room.

Ever notice that the moments we love and are so meaningful to us seem to be over before we have experienced all of the joy that we want to receive from them?  We often say that God is so good and yet in difficult times we wrestle with His love and intentions towards us. This week, Pastor Lisa shares a very simple yet profound rhythm of grace that will help us remember the goodness of God enabling...

If you google the phrase: mental health impact of Covid-19, nearly 800 million results immediately surface. Most of the results focus on the daily number of infections, but there is a growing awareness of how the pandemic is impacting people's mental, emotional, relational and spiritual reality. The science supporting God’s invitation to a regular practice of gratitude to radically improve a perso...

Welcome to the St. Albert Alliance Church Digital Gathering!

Welcome to the St. Albert alliance Church Digital Gathering It’s hard to believe there was a time when there was no such thing as the internet and a smartphone.  What was once heralded as a way to free up time and make us more productive, has instead exponentially sped up the pace of our life to the point of chronic exhaustion.  We need a rhythm to help us experience the grace of God in the midst...

Welcome to St. Albert Alliance Church Online! In a season where there is more collective uncertainty and anxiety, how do we access the healing our souls need and rest in the goodness of God? Join us, as Pastor Lisa shares a very simple and yet profound rhythm of grace that has the potential to bring meaningful restoration, turning our attention to the very presence and goodness of God, as often as...

Welcome to St. Albert Alliance Church Online! In many ways, the pause button was hit on various aspects of our lives 7 months ago. For many, our outer world was put on pause, yet, our inner world continued to spin at an unsustainable pace. One of Jesus' great invitations is that we would find rest in Him, but the experience of this is often far from the concept. Join us as we begin our new series...

Welcome to St. Albert Alliance Church Online! We are excited to share with you this weekend how we’re thinking about what’s next for us as a church family. You’ll hear the latest from our pastoral team about the trajectory of the next three months and how you can further engage with us.  We’ll also give you an update on the progress of the Seed Project and how you can participate in a Big Month of...

Jesus' heart for us is not just that we would hear of other people's encounters with Him, but that we would have our own. This begins by responding to His personal call to each of us to be His apprentices. Join Pastors Jeremy and Lisa as they wrap up this series reflecting on Jesus’ call to come and follow Him.

There are many questions that we are asked in the course of our day that have pretty straight forward answers.  Many times, a simple yes or no is a sufficient response, and nothing else needs to be said.  Have you ever found yourself in a position where an answer you gave or received goes beyond what was necessary for the posed question?  Join us on Sunday as we continue our series, Encounters wit...

Waiting stirs up a lot in us.  Whether we understand why there is a delay or not, it’s always hard, usually frustrating, and often confusing and disorienting for us.  Come and hear Pastors Jeremy and Lisa share from two intertwined encounters with Jesus in the Gospel of Mark that offer us hope and encouragement in the midst of the waiting we are currently experiencing.

Experiencing God’s Perfect Grace: Do you find yourself living in a state of disappointment and depression, feeling like you can never live up to God's standards? Join us this Sunday as we look at God's liberating solution to this problem.

Does Jesus think someone can be too preoccupied with religion?  Can we be overly concerned with moral performance and miss the heart of what God is really after?  Join Pastors Jeremy and Lisa as they reflect on the strong words that Jesus has for those who prioritize religious behaviour over a humility of heart.

Have you ever been encouraged by someone else to “Just have faith” - maybe it is a line you have repeated to yourself or shared with others?  We often revert back to a statement like that when our circumstances aren’t going the way we think they should.  So what is faith and what does it mean to have faith?  Join us on Sunday as we look at an encounter with Jesus that causes Him to marvel at a per...

There are often things that happen in our lives which cause us to wonder if there is a way forward. For some of us, it feels like we carry the baggage of past decisions or actions with us throughout our entire lives. Others feel like there is no return from the choices or actions of the past. Join us on Sunday as we look at an Encounter with Jesus that just might provide some hope for those who fe...

Loving your enemy isn’t easy.  When Jesus talks about loving your enemy, He embodied what that meant.  In our current cultural climate, making short work of those that oppose you or mistreat you is just a scalding “tweet” away.  We’ve begun to praise ourselves and our efforts to dismantle the lives of those who are “against” us.  But Jesus, never does that. Never.  The last supper was one of the m...

Has there ever been a time when you felt unlovable? The story of Zacchaeus reveals the very real and intentional love that God feels towards those that would be considered unlovable.
