Seriously now, what are the chances that a group of uneducated, young adult fishermen, political activists, government employees, and brothers with anger management issues, who have no social standing, no media platform, no political connections, no strategic plan, no money and by the way, no building to meet in…what are the chances that a little group like this – with no earthly leader – could ha...

Often in life, when we are given a choice between a hard path and one that is easier, we will most likely choose the easier one. One of the markers of following Jesus is he often calls us to follow a path that is marked by hardship and opposition. Join us online as we look at how Jesus encourages us to take the path less travelled, as we choose to live differently.

Obedience is a bit of a controversial word and can surface a variety of thoughts and emotional responses. Often, we think of obedience in the light of seeking to “earn” something, but Jesus has a different invitation for us. Join us as Pastor Lisa continues our Last Words series, sharing the gracious invitation of Jesus to obedience and the true gift it is.

This week, we return to our Last Words series (that began in the Fall of 2019 – disrupted by COVID), to continue to reflect on Jesus’ last words to His disciples before His death and resurrection. Pastor Jeremy will be returning to the opening verses of John 15 to consider how God works with skilful precision to free us from that which holds us back that we might more fully flourish under God.

If you were to poll a group of people who watched an event unfold, it's likely that you would have a variety of interpretations about what took place before them. The truth is, each one of us interpret the things we see through a variety of lenses that have been formed through our life experience. Join us online as we hear from Vanguard Bible College Student, Daisy Ejang, as she explores two types...

There are many things that threaten our hope in these days of the global pandemic, and yet, one of the single greatest threats to our hope is not from without, but rather within. Join us as Pastor Lisa shares the simple truth of how seeking to hide our sin immediately quenches hope in us and how confession can bring a greater experience of hope than we realized was possible.

Almost a year into lockdown and restrictions, many things have been challenged in our lives. Many would say they have had hopes dashed in a variety of ways, which can lead to discouragement and disappointment, but what if hope was steadfast? And what if we were the ones that were created to bring that hope to our world? Join us online as we look at the one who is the anchor or hope and how we were...

The idea that we need to be strong and capable often creates a perspective that if we are going to get through this life, it is only because of our own ability. Yet, in scripture, Paul describes our lives as fragile Jars of clay. Join us online as Vanguard Student Kelsey Verge encourages us to see God’s power at work through our weaknesses.

When faced with too many disappointments, we can begin to feel a sense of hopelessness. What do we do when we are up against something that has no solution? Join us online as we hear a story of one such person and where he found hope.

Hope is something we need, something we want, and something we recognize that some people have. But have we ever thought of hope as something we can give? Join us online as Pastor Lisa shares what the beautiful gift hope is and how we can bring the gift of hope into the lives of those around us as we follow God’s own example to us.

There are many experiences in our lives that can cause us to wonder if God is actually listening to us or aware of our circumstances. Many times those questions come out when we are faced with a variety of suffering. When there is silence in those moments, does that mean God’s not there? Join us this week as we hear from one of our Young Adults - Graeme Gibson - about God in those quiet moments.

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...
