St. Albert Alliance Church

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...

Have you ever had the experience of being weary from facing all the challenges of life? Has it left you feeling overwhelmed, looking at the mountain ahead of you, trying to determine if you have the strength to climb it? If you’ve been there or find yourself there right now, join us on Sunday as we see David put words to those experiences and show us how we can engage with God during those seasons...

God is a communicating, conversational God. He loves to share His heart, direction and will with us. Most of the time He does this through actively speaking in a number of different ways. There are times however, where God goes quiet and we’re not sure why. Come and hear Pastors Jeremy and Lisa share on this sometimes disorienting part of the hearing God journey. (Or if you can’t make it, watch th...

For many people who are seeking to follow Jesus, one of the biggest questions they have is ‘what is God’s will for my life?’ This week Pastors Jeremy and Lisa will seek to provide a framework through which to process life’s big decisions and to further discern God’s direction.

Ruth Haley Barton writes: “Discernment is much more than mere decision making; it is, first of all, a habit, a way of seeking that can permeate our whole life.”  There are three habitual prayers reflecting a heart posture that help prepare us to hear from the LORD.  Join us this week as Pastors Jeremy & Lisa seek to equip us to further tune in to the voice of Jesus in our everyday lives.  (Or if y...

When it comes to hearing God’s voice and discerning his direction for our lives, our tendency is often to first look outward.  In other words, we are looking for some external information that we need to help make our lives work better.  However, as Ruth Haley Barton writes, “Discernment requires, first of all, that we are able to discern matters of our own heart.”  Come and hear Pastors Jeremy an...

When I come to listen in prayer, how do I know if what I am ‘hearing’ is really God’s voice or just my own thoughts? Can we really grow in confidence that we are recognizing the Shepherd’s whispers? What does this inaudible voice of God sound like? Join us this Sunday or if you can’t make it, watch the livestream (www.staalliance.org/livestream ) as Pastor Jeremy responds to these common questions

Our world is full of noise - everywhere we turn is another voice, another opinion, another “fact.”  In the midst of this noise can we actually tune in to the God who speaks? Join us Sunday as we look at what can break through the noise to reveal the heart of God that created us for relationship with him.

Perhaps you’ve heard someone you don’t know particularly well express something like, “God spoke to me about this…” or “God told me I’m supposed to do that…” and you have found yourself immediately trying to position this person’s credibility and level of sanity. Does God still speak today? Isn’t the Bible all we need? We hope you’ll join us as Pastor Jeremy begins our new sermon series called ‘Tu...

At Easter we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and its beautiful invitation to us. Come and hear Pastors Jeremy and Lisa speak on the profound truth that Jesus’ love is a resurrection that invites us to shed our grave clothes of fear and shame, so that we may live in the abundant life He offers us.

Jesus describes his followers as branches on a vine. It’s a picture of apprenticeship with a promise: as we stay connected, we bear fruit. His Kingdom is made up of countless believers from every background and corner of the globe experiencing the reality of this picture, often in ways and places that might surprise us. Jesus' challenge for us is to embrace the vision and find our place in the Big...

Over the course of the last nine weeks we have been taking an intentional look at God’s beautiful design for marriage and sexuality. God, in His infinite wisdom, has designed things for us so that we would experience a flourishing life here in all of our relationships. But it doesn’t end there. Hidden within God’s beautiful design for marriage and sexuality is a divine mystery that points to somet...
