Alliance Church - Hortonville

Dr. Dennis Episcopo preaches about three main Jewish Holidays in the Old Testament and how they had a spirit of "Thanksgiving" at their core.

Dr. Bill Dunham, director of Marketplace Ministries and professor at Crown College, spoke about faith integration within our vocation. As we closed out Global Connections week, Bill encouraged us to live on mission whether here in our careers or abroad. 

Pete Brokopp from Envision Atlanta joined us in Appleton to kick off this year's mission conference: All of Jesus for All the World. He reminded us, through testimony after testimony, that God's plans for us are exceedingly better than our own.

Money-related fear is not irrational. It hits home for all of us. Jesus explains that the Father's generosity vanquishes this fear, thereby liberating our generosity. The result: We're set free to experience the joy of our heart aligning with God's heart as we allow Him to work through us financially.

Life's hard, you've got real stuff coming at you. Worry is going to come your way, so the question is: what do you do with it? Jesus gives us a compelling, 4-part argument against worry, and then an eternally significant alternative.

No matter who we are, our hearts are prone to developing a weird relationship with money. So, in this passage, Jesus addresses our money, not because he cares so much about our money, but because he cares about our hearts. He wants us to guard our hearts against a self-centered relationship with our money, and instead be "rich toward God" by having a relationship with our resources that reflects t...

Worry Mountain: The surprising place worry can come from and how to deal with it according to Jesus.

We are Alliance Church. One church, multiple locations, one vision: Connecting the world with God and another. 

Being alone and isolated can be dangerous! Christian Community can help defend against the enemy, apathy, and discouragement.

When you can’t see past the pain – you lean on other people’s eyesight. You don’t need some to help you understand. You need someone who understands. Pastor Brian unpacks why empathy and understanding are vital keys for a healthy community. 

Why should you give Christian community a shot? Because we need each other to get through life's hardships. Jesus wants our church to be a restorative community that humbly carries each other's burdens. Will you lean in or stay at arm's distance?

Pastor Tom Gonzalez gives his inaugural message at the Opera House for our "Better Together" series.

Every church is known for something⏤good, bad, or ugly. We're no exception. So, what do we want to be known for? More importantly, what does Jesus want us to be known for? In John 17 we find Jesus' prayer for us, which helps us answer this important question.

By honoring one another, we honor the Lord. Listen to Rev. Brian Episcopo's message on honor and the importance of esteeming the generations who came before us.

In the final sermon of our DAVID series, Pastor Brian Episcopo reminds us of this foundational truth: the Lord will fight for you. 

In 2 Samuel 7, we read about the time King David made a big plan for God, but it wasn't what God was looking for. God had a much better plan; a plan more glorious than David could have imagined...a plan that changed everything. Check out this message to hear about God's plan, and what he is looking for from you.

Even though we all have a tendency to hide our sin from God, we have to trust God with our worst so we can experience His best. God wants you to experience his forgiveness. Listen to Pastor Brandon's message on how to experience this forgiveness. 

Our life in God may feel like a half-full bottle of Coca-Cola. We think a little mento may help it come back to life, but it ends up exploding in our face. The story of David and Bathsheba reflects what can happen when we seek to put the "fizz" back in life apart from God.

Rev. Brian Episcopo unpacks the story of David and Jonathan, showing us the surprising place fear comes from and what roots it out. Join us as we continue our series on David.

What is God's plan for you to win in a world dominated by evil? Pastor Brandon takes a look at how David responded to Saul's cruelty, which teaches us a lot about how God wants US to overcome evil with good.

God sees differently than humans—He looks on the heart. But what exactly is He looking for? Examining what God saw in David helps us know what He’s looking for in us. 

Baptism is probably one of the more misunderstood doctrines in Christianity. Who gets baptized? How do you perform it? Can you skip it and still be a Christian? Getting back to the basics of what Scripture teaches on Baptism can be one of the most important next steps you can take in your faith.

When we come to know Christ, we receive a new inheritance, name, heart, destiny, family, and power... We also receive a new enemy. You cannot fly incognito–we are on his radar and he has a developed a strategy to take us out. This enemy may not be our only obstacle but will be our most formidable. However, there's amazing hope and victory in the Battle Beyond!

On the road from here to heaven, there's work to do. The primary task Jesus gives his followers is to help others follow him too. This is our mission. At Alliance, our goal is to help you live it out.

The Great Commission was Jesus' last command in the book of Matthew. Dr. Dennis Episcopo unpacks Jesus' outline for getting the Gospel to the nations and how we play an integral part in it.
