Grande Prairie Alliance Church

When we have sin in our lives, it affects and infects our relationship with God and others. God wants the best for us which is why we are instructed to have an ongoing lifestyle of confession, lived out in community.

How do we comfort one another and find comfort in our own lives in the midst of great pain?

Accepting one another is an obedient act of honour and thanksgiving to Jesus, who accepts us despite our many faults and shortcomings; may we grant the same grace and acceptance to others, cast away all judgement, and give Him all the praise and honour that He is due.

Forgiveness is one of the cornerstones of living in community; it's not easy but it's necessary to access the freedom we've been so freely given. We forgive because we have been forgiven.

Jesus never meant for our Christian journey to be something that we do on our own; we were created and called to live in the context of community. Join us as we journey through the topic of “one another:” a phrase that is mentioned over 100 times in the New Testament alone as a means of encouraging and instructing us as believers on how to do this journey called ‘life’ together. This week we start...

We live in uncertain times but we have been given a Saviour who is the same, yesterday, and forever; Jesus can be counted on and He has promised that He will return again. How we anticipate the Lord's return should make a difference in the way that we live our lives.

How can we give back to God in response to what He has given us through the gift of His son, Jesus Christ? What does it look like to love God with our heart, soul, mind, and in our relationships to each other?

God's love for you has been intentional and ever-present since the beginning of time. Christmas is the time of year where we celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, and His gift of everlasting love.

Happiness is circumstantial and temporary but joy is present and available for us at all times. How do we become steadfast in joy?

This world offers a version of peace that is fragile and temporary. Jesus offers a perfect peace that is available for you today and forever; He is right there with you in the darkness and storms of your life.

Where does your hope come from? We can't fix life's brokenness on our own. Without Jesus, we have no hope; with Jesus, we have more than we could imagine or ask for.

Are you passionate in the pursuit of truth? We have been gifted the living and breathing Word of God to be able to discern what is Truth and what is a detour to destruction.

We are humans living amongst other human beings, and conflict is part of that struggle. There is a tension within relationships: we are wired to need each other and conflict will be present. Conflict happens within every aspect of our lives and relationships... but... it's not what or where we think it is.

Christian giving is all about grace. God desires for each one of us to move from the spiritual infancy of fear and compulsion based giving, into the maturity and joy of grace-based giving.

Things will happen to us, that God may work in us, that God may work through us. No matter what stage of life you are in, you are going to have to know what you believe and why you believe it.

(October 24, 2021 • Brad Cowie) As we continue our series on 2nd Corinthians, we learn about Titus and his role as a peacemaker between Paul and the church of Corinth. A peacemaker is not a conflict avoider but rather someone who holds intention the reality of real conflict with the hope and goal that reconciliation is possible. How do we imitate the grace that God has ungrudgingly and freely give...

Generosity has nothing to do with wealth. The question we need to ask ourselves is: How can I be used? How can I respond to the great things God has done for me?

Hear more about Colette's international journey that began 21 years ago, what it has meant for her, and what it means for us to respond in gratitude to God's mission.

How do we talk about our differences with others? What is the biblical way to confront people in our lives? Hear from Burden Bearers Counsellor, Eric Lee about what it looks like to let compassion lead the way in confrontation, with loving others as your motivation.

God has given us an invitation to live a better life; all we need to do is receive and respond to the freedom that has been gifted to us. We no longer have to participate in the bondage of sin and need to break the ties that are holding us captive.

We tend to overestimate our short term capabilities and underestimate our long term capabilities; this life isn't a sprint but an endurance race. What are the marks of endurance and how can we respond? Perhaps today is the day for each of us to take our faith more seriously.

As we continue our series on 2nd Corinthians, hear from the Executive Director of Rising Above about the 3 groups of people described in this passage. Where do you see yourself and what are you going to do about it?

What does it look like to live in anticipation for eternity while still pursuing our God-given purpose here on earth? How can you partner with God with what He is calling you into in this lifetime?

Our world is hurting. We have a resource that will not only bandage spiritual wounds but point people to Jesus Christ, the One who can ultimately heal them. The most powerful tool in our arsenal is the Word of God; how often do we use it?

We have an enemy that is actively working to destroy and distort our spiritual sight. Pursuing a continual relationship with Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit and abiding in God's Word is vital to the protection and renewal of our hearts.
