Alive Covenant Church

Join us as we explore the Gospel of Matthew 4:1-11.  In this scripture, Jesus is in the wilderness for 40 days and nights and faces 3 temptations. The purpose of these temptations was to: 1) get Jesus to question his identity - "If you are the Son of God..." (verses 3 & 6) 2) stop Jesus from living out his mission/calling Temptation operates the same way in our lives. It's goal is to trip us u...

Join us as we explore chapter 3 of the Gospel of Matthew. This sermon was focused on our graduating seniors! Hopefully God will use it in your life as well. There were 3 hopes for our graduates that Pastor Daron took from the scripture: 1) How God felt about Jesus... is the same way God feels about you. "This is my dearly loved child, who brings me great joy. " v.17 2) Live an active faith... serv...

Join us as we explore chapter 2 of the Gospel of Matthew. Like the wise men, Jesus teaches us to keep on SEEKING and you will find. Like Joseph, the dad who raised Jesus, we are invited to pay attention and LISTEN to God.  Like both the wise men and Joseph, may we trust God enough to ACT on what we learn. Then do that process again and again,,,, May Jesus the Messiah keep forming us into the peopl...

Join us as we explore what it was like to be the mother of Jesus. Who was Jesus' mom? What was it like being the mother of Jesus? How might God form us today through her story? We have a number of scriptures that teach us about Mary and her relationship with her son, Jesus. So we broke it into 4 different chunks of her life: -Expectant Mother -Mother of more than Jesus -Mother during Jesus' minist...

Join us as we begin our study of the Gospel of Matthew.  Matthew describes his own story as one of an "outsider". Someone who the religious people of the day didn't think was good enough for Jesus. But Matthew held on to Jesus' teaching that "healthy people don't need a doctor, sick people do". It's why we try to create a culture of "No Perfect People Allowed". As we start of the Gospel, Matthew w...

Join us as we explore Jesus as a prophet. Matthew 23:37-39 are the last words that Jesus says to the crowds: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God's messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn't let me. And now, look, your house is abandoned and desolate. For I tell you this,...

On Sunday, March 8, 2026 we celebrated 20 years as a church! This sermon & these stories Thank God for how we have been loved and how this community has impacted our lives. 

Join us as we explore Jesus as a prophet. Jason Ulven is our guest preacher today! Jason focuses us on how Jesus calls us back to God through the Beatitudes in the Gospel of Matthew (3:3-10). He encourages us to let Jesus' words search us, soften our hearts and turn us back to God with humility and trust. Please join us as we consider how God wants to shape us today.

Join us as we explore Jesus as a prophet. Chris Ramsey is our guest preacher today! The Bible bears witness to a God who has always been deeply concerned about justice and rectifying injustice on the earth. We will all have times when we are responsible for injustice and times when we suffer from it. Jesus has something to say to us in both situations. Our apologies as the first part of the sermon...

Join us as we explore Jesus as a prophet.  Jesus understood himself as a prophet, and as the fulfillment of the prophets of the Old Testament.  The prophets were known for calling God's people to come back to God. In this sermon we explore the temptations Jesus faced (Matthew 3:13-4:11) to take his attention/affection/trust/service away from God.  How do those same temptations impact us? May God c...

Join us as we explore Jesus as a prophet. In Luke 4 we read that Jesus understood himself as a prophet - "I tell you the truth, no prophet is accepted in his hometown" - and the fulfillment of what the prophet Isaiah had written:  "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will...

Join us as we explore the prophets of the Old Testament. Today we look at Hosea. Many of the prophets were asked by God to do things that would appear foolish to the crowd that observed their behavior. Hosea is at the top of that list.  Through his words and his own life, Hosea paints God as the abandoned one. While God keeps trying to love his people, they keep running to other things/gods with t...

Join us as we explore the prophets of the Old Testament.  Today we look at Ezekiel. At the same time Jeremiah was back in Jerusalem being a prophet to the remnant, God came to Ezekiel while he was in captivity in Babylon and called him to be a prophet to his fellow Judean exiles. Our focus will be Ezekiel 36:26, "I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart."...

Join us as we explore the prophets of the Old Testament. Today we look at how Isaiah called the whole community to come back to God. Specifically we will look at chapter 58 where Isaiah calls out the people for worshipping God for the purpose of getting what they wanted.  True worship is listening to God and acting on it.  At the heart of this teaching is listening to God's desire that his people...

Join us as we explore the prophets of the Old Testament. Today we look at how Jeremiah called the whole community to come back to God. As we follow Jeremiah's life we learn how difficult it was to be a prophet, and how God formed Jeremiah through the ups and downs.  Through Jeremiah's example, we explore, "How do we keep hope today?"  In an increasingly polarized culture, we also look at the impor...

Gary Walter takes us through Jesus' teaching about prayer in Luke 11:1-13.  These are some of the questions that Jesus answers for us in this scripture: What can we pray about? What is important about our heart when we pray? What does Jesus teach us about God's heart? If you want more intimacy with God or some encouragement in your prayer life - take the time to listen to this!

He is Risen! No one wants to go through Good Friday to get to Easter. ... even if you know Easter will happen.  We try to get away from pain. We try to avoid suffering. In our Easter sermon, Pastor Daron invites us to explore the 3 acts of Jesus' death & resurrection: Act 1 - the one time historical event of Jesus' death & resurrection and Jesus' choice to connect with the pain of the worl...

Special guest preacher Amber Evola takes us through her own journey of leaving lament. We all go through difficult times in life. The good news is that God is with us even in these dark seasons. His invitation is always waiting for us to engage with Him and discover who He designed us to be. We trust in Him and create a relationship that is mutually loving. From this safe inner space of love we ar...
