This week, we are discussing the The Housecleaning Choice - which directs us to first openly examine what others have done to us and what we have done to others. We must confess our faults to ourselves, to God, and to someone we trust. This choice is about coming clean and admitting our failures. We may fear the honesty required to make this choice, but know that freedom is the reward for truth. T...

When we're hurting, we tend to cover up our pain with bad or harmful behaviour. We develop bad habits that shout, "I'm hurting!" - but all too often it's the habit that gets all the attention. Truthfully, that habit won't stop screaming until we get at the root of the hurt. We can break free from the cycle of pain by making godly choices, healthy choices that lead to peace, joy, and wisdom. It hap...

As we continue in the series "Resolutions That Last," we look at the "Hope Choice." By choosing to believe that God exists, we matter to Him, and He has the power to change us, God can heal our souls and lead us to a different way of living. As human beings, we try to avoid our pain, overcome our problems, and improve our lives with our own power, before we ask for God’s power and help. Join us on...

In life, it seems that once a problem is solved, another one comes up. The same is true for our temptations and sins, they keep popping up. Even if we have been followers of Christ for a long time, when we think we may have an issue settled, Satan finds another way to attack us. Join us on Sunday and learn how to cut off the problems at their power source.

The word hope is one that often gets tossed around. Many refer to hope with a sense of wishful thinking - cross your fingers and hope that everything will work out. For many, our experience of hope comes from a place of disappointment or discouragement. The very things that we had hoped for did not go as expected and hopelessness grows. What if our hope is not dependent on circumstances or situati...

As the seasons have changed, the physical darkness of winter is the new normal as we navigate the everyday routines of our lives. The songs of the season shout - Joy to the World, Peace on Earth and goodwill towards men. Yet this often seems far from our physical reality. In our hearts there is a longing for Peace, for rest, for relationships to be restored and the world says this will come throug...

What is the response that comes to mind when you hear the word obedience? Often we think of duty or obligation with a little bit of guilt sprinkled in for good measure. Why do we push back against the act of obedience? Whether its rules from a parent or laws of the land, it seems we are always trying to see how far we can go. What would change in our lives if we were to practice a life of obedienc...

Sometimes people think: ‘If only we’d been there when Jesus was around, it would have been so much easier. He would have explained everything to us, and told us what to do.’  But interestingly, Jesus himself said the opposite - he said that it was better for us if He returned to the Father.  Why?  Come hear Pastors Jeremy and Lisa explore the next passage in our Last Word series and the promise of...

The words of Jesus in John 14:12-14 can be difficult for us to understand.  How can we do greater things than Jesus himself did?  Come and hear Pastors Jeremy and Lisa speak on the incomparable gift of the Holy Spirit and what Jesus truly meant when He said “greater things.” Or if you can’t make it, watch the live stream  at  www.staalliance.org/livestream

The call of Jesus is not an invitation to a religious system, but to personal relationship with Himself. While the vulnerability of relationship can be uncomfortable at times, come and hear Pastors Jeremy & Lisa encourage us regarding the unique transformation that is only possible through personal engagement with Jesus.

It’s often said that there’s no place like home. The home we long for is a place of security, safety and belonging. This is an inherent need we all have - to know where and with whom we belong. Come and hear Pastors Jeremy and Lisa continue our Last Word series, exploring John 14:1-5 and what it means to find our home with Jesus in the Father’s house.

Who is Jesus to us?  It is a question that each of us need to answer because it reveals the role that Jesus will play in our lives.  We can read the scriptures and be in awe of His wisdom, his compassion or even the way that he taught, but what happens if we see Jesus as more than just a teacher?  What would it change for us?  Join us Sunday as we look at titles, choices and the impact of both.

We all love the idea of being thought of as a servant, but it’s a whole different story to be treated like one.  Jesus once again models the true nature of servanthood and generosity in a thought-provoking expression of love and humility, showing us that the way up is down.  Come and hear Pastors Jeremy and Lisa kick off our new sermon series, “Last Words,” based on John 13-17.

When Jesus invites us to follow Him, the possibilities are endless. We don’t know where we are heading, because He is going everywhere, to everyone. So we should prepare for an apprenticeship journey that begins at home and will lead us over the horizon.

We live in a world that has never been more connected to those around the world and yet, at the same time, more disconnected from those around us.  With the world in the palm of our hands via the smartphones we carry, we often lose touch with those right in our vicinity. This has created an understanding that faith and relationship with Jesus is solely an individual thing. Yet throughout scripture...

Sometimes we experience a paradigm shift that is so significant it affects every area of our life and everything we thought we knew gets turned upside down. Come and hear Pastors Jeremy and Lisa explore why this one particular paradigm shift has such life changing - and world changing - potential.

If you have ever listened to any high performance athlete you will probably hear them talk about keeping their eye on the prize. Their need to focus on the goal and the task at hand is vitally important if they are going to see any measure of success in their athletic discipline.  What about the race of life? Many times we find ourselves going through the motions, thinking the decisions we make ar...

As a church we have centered our whole way of being around learning from Jesus as His apprentices.  This coming Sunday, Pastors Jeremy and Lisa are going to explore Colossians 1, reminding us why we are so compelled by Him and why a true vision of Him impacts every aspect of our lives.

Have you experienced a time when things were just not happening fast enough and you felt like you needed to “Get r done?”  Discover how waiting on God can accomplish more with less stress.

Hopelessness is a common expression of the soul in our culture.  The script we write in our hearts doesn’t always look hopeful.  Not only does what we read on our news feeds often leave us feeling helpless, what we see going on in our lives leaves us feeling the same way. The psalmist reminds us time and time again that hardships are a part of life. We can’t escape pain. But we can cling to hope -...

While we are on the roller coaster of life there are going to be times of great highs and significant lows.  At each place we often need a reminder of who God is.  In the good times it is a reminder we still need him and in the bad times it is a reminder that he is still with us. Join us this Sunday when we look at Psalm 103 and see how it serves as a reminder to us of who God is in all seasons of...

Have you ever been caught doing something you knew you weren’t suppose to?  In that moment we have a couple of options for what our next move will be.  With our mind racing, weighing the implications of the decision we are being confronted with, we often choose the path that will have the least amount of pain in that moment.  Those choices don’t always turn out well in the long run.  Join us Sunda...

Who or what do you really trust when all else fails?  Where do you go when you need a safe place?  These days we are advised to be prepared for future disruption of our normal life.  What can we do to prepare for spiritual shelter when we experience trouble?  This Sunday we are looking at a “Safe Place” that God offers you.

When we are experiencing hardships and challenges in our lives does it feel like time stands still?  Does it cause you to wonder where God is or if He even cares about your circumstances? Has he forgotten us? Join us Sunday as we try to make sense of hardship as David asks those very questions.

Sometimes we need reminding of the blessings in our lives.  When life is hard, it’s difficult to see where God has been faithful and how He’s still at work in your everyday life.  But this is where the church can be a blessing to one another.  We need to hear stories of how God has been kind and gracious. We need to see that Jesus shows mercy beyond comprehension. We need to taste of the goodness...
