St. Albert Alliance Church

Welcome to the St. Albert Alliance Church Digital Gathering! All of us experience loss and with every loss comes grief.   Join us as Pastor Lisa shares how a simple Rhythms of Grace can help us to experience the kindness of God expressed to us in times of grief helping us to love both others and ourselves well. Today's Worship Set: He Lives- Church of the City Promises Never Fail - Bethel Music O...

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.

The call to apprenticeship is one of full surrender. The challenge for most of us is usually not giving up the first 90%, but rather the last 10%. In today’s message, Pastors Jeremy and Lisa reflect on an encounter Jesus had with a good and honourable individual who He invited to trust God with unrestricted access to his heart.

Often Christians aren’t viewed as the life of a party, yet we often see Jesus finding himself surrounded by unlikely guests in unlikely places. One of those events is a wedding that is about to end badly for the newlywed couple, unless somebody steps up to help the celebration carry on. Join us as we look at Jesus, a wedding in Cana, and joy that is found in the abundance of grace he has made poss...

God is always looking for true seekers who are open and humble. To those who come with this posture, He will reveal deeper things. Come and hear Pastors Jeremy and Lisa continue in our Encounters with Jesus series.

Jesus has some really profound, life-changing encounters with people that are recorded in the Gospels. Over the upcoming weeks, we are going to explore some of these interactions through the lens of how Jesus intends to encounter us personally today. It is, after all, the encounter with Jesus that changes everything! Join us in this opening message to this series as Pastors Jeremy & Lisa share abo...

Think about the moments in life that you have felt most alive. Probably those moments were ones you stepped out of your comfort zone and took a risk of some sort. So many times when we think of the abundant life that Jesus offers us it has more to do with our comfort and security. What if following Jesus and the abundant life found in Him calls us to step outside our comfort zone and join in the p...

For some of us, it can be easy to drive past the same place 1000 times and never notice a business that has changed or a landmark that got moved. It could be that we are so focused on the road ahead that we don’t get distracted by the things around us, or we are totally zoned out because we have done the drive a million times that we don’t even pay attention anymore. What would it take for us to h...

Our lives are often filled with noise and busyness - we find ourselves running from one place to another. We often wear the badge of busyness with a sense of honour. Over the last number of weeks, our routines have dramatically changed, and many have commented that they have found more time to slow down and breathe. What if, as part of this season, God is providing an opportunity to see transforma...

"In this world you will have trouble." These words from Jesus feel more true today than they have ever felt. Whether it's the global pandemic, the unrest and tensions around the world, or our own brokenness - grief will find us. But Jesus doesn’t want to leave us in our grief. He wants to bring hope - not only to us - but to the world hurting around us. Jesus wants to do something new, and through...

This Sunday marks the culmination of our 40 days with Jesus emphasis, and we have a special service planned! Join us as we both celebrate the ways that God has been speaking to us in the last 40 days, and look ahead to how we are going to continue to steep in Jesus' presence in the days to come.

The last 8 weeks have revealed a lot about the nature of our hearts. When our world is turned upside down, and we are thrown out of our routines, we notice the things that we cling to, hoping for security and stability. Join us on Sunday as Pastor Mike explores the Generosity of God and the invitation to live with open hands and open hearts.

One-size fits all usually doesn’t fit anyone very well! The truth is, we are all unique and the way we engage in life, including our relationships, reflects our uniqueness. The same is true in our relationship with God. Tune in on Sunday to hear Pastors Jeremy and Lisa share how God has gifted each of us with unique Spiritual Instincts to experience Him deeply.
