St. Albert Alliance Church

We all need an overall plan when it comes to staying balanced financially – an overarching framework within which we seek to wisely manage and prioritize our financial resources in a way that honours God and leads to a flourishing life. Though there are constant corrections required in order to stay balanced, it all begins by aligning our priorities with intentionality and forethought. This week P...

We have been built with a natural tendency to compare and it often starts as a kid when we compare who’s got the best lunch at school, or who’s dad is stronger.  When we get older the things that we compare often tend to be a little more costly. The comparison often fuels an appetite in us to get the next, latest, greatest or best and all of that comes at a cost.  Join us Sunday to explore what it...

We are continuing in our “Balanced” sermon series on personal finance (originally developed by Andy Stanley). One of the laws of balance is that you need to make constant corrections, and in personal finance, there are several areas where this is required. This week Pastor Jeremy will address the second constant correction we need to make in order to stay balanced in our personal finances, explori...

We live in a time where with just one click, one tap or signature we can get just about anything we want.  For many of us those purchases have been made on credit - money that we do not have and yet we are assuming responsibility for.  Join us this week as we take a look at what the scriptures have to say about the wise use of money and debt as we try to live the clear objective of honouring God w...

We are continuing in our “Balanced” sermon series on personal finance (originally developed by Andy Stanley). One of the laws of balance is that you need to know what your basic overall objective is when it comes to money – in other words, what are we trying to accomplish? This week Pastor Jeremy will explore this question by looking at the life of King David and how he shows us that everything we...

This week we begin a new series on personal finance called “Balanced” (originally developed by Andy Stanley).  Over the next 6 weeks, we’ll be looking at the ‘Laws of Balance’ and how to move toward financial health and Kingdom generosity.  This first week, Pastor Jeremy explores the concept of balance in our personal finances and what Jesus identifies as our starting reference point for financial...

If you were invited to sit with a group of friends and re-write the culture of your neighbourhood, what would that look like? What changes would you like to make? Re-shaping a neighbourhood may be easier than you think. This Sunday we will be hearing about how God can use you, to make your neighbourhood a better place to live.

In keeping with his incisive unpacking of the human heart in light of the news of God's now-available kingdom, Jesus continues on to address one of the most universal of human experiences - worry (aka fear aka anxiety).  This teaching confronts our professed 'beliefs' in some pretty serious ways.  Do we actually believe God is sovereign?  Do we actually believe that he loves us?  Do we actually tr...

It is often the thing that causes the greatest disagreement in a marriage.  When you don’t have it you are trying to figure out how to get it.  When you do have it you are always trying to figure out how to get just a little bit more.  Some even go so far as saying it is the root of all evil.  So why does money carry such a bad reputation?  Isn’t having money a good thing?  Join us Sunday as Pasto...

Most people have strong, internal urges and impulses that, at times, get the better of them.  Despite our intent to follow Jesus, we sometimes find ourselves seemingly unable to exhibit the self-control we feel we should.  A common misconception is that all we need is “stronger willpower.”  But is that true?  Come and listen in as Pastor Jeremy reminds us of an age-old practice specifically design...

Forgiveness.   Both the need to give and receive forgiveness impacts all of us.  Come and hear Pastor Lisa share on the importance of us truly being a forgiven people so that we in turn can freely forgive others.

Ask someone about prayer and they may often recite the first couple of lines of what is commonly referred to as The Lord's Prayer.  At times prayer can seem just like a shopping list of requests that we recite without any certainty that God actually hears or will even do anything about the requests we do have.  So what does The Lord's Prayer teach us about God’s heart for us and his desire that we...

In our desire for acceptance and approval from others, we often portray a ‘way of being’ that makes us look better than we are.  We want to be thought of in a certain light, with certain altruistic intentions, to be valued for our ‘moral character’ but in order to do so, we sometimes undermine the very thing we hope to be known by!  This week Pastor Jeremy will unpack how Jesus brings into the lig...

How is it possible to  “love everyone” when we live in a time and place with such cultural diversities, where values and beliefs can range from one extreme to the other?  Or does God even expect us to? This Sunday Pastor Bob will talk about how to love without partiality.

The way of Jesus is confronting and counter cultural.  When the culture of the world declares that an "eye for an eye" is truly the only just way to respond to mistreatment, Jesus challenges this belief by offering another way.   Come and hear Pastor Lisa teach on this challenging passage in the Sermon on the Mount.

It’s no secret that we live in a world dominated by spin, manipulation, and deception. Trust does not come easily because we all know what it’s like to feel used by others, and to be burned by lies. What does it mean to become the kind of person who simply speaks the truth in love, without intent to coerce or manipulate? This week Pastor Jeremy will be addressing Jesus’ direction and counsel on th...

When we say "Till death do us part” in our marriage vows does it really mean we are in it till the end? What if we fall out of love? Or have irreconcilable differences? Should we be able to go our own way? Everybody’s story is different but are there common principles that apply to all of us? Join us Sunday as we look at what Jesus has to say about Marriage, Divorce and finding our way through.

Many religious people are content to allow Jesus to speak into ‘spiritual matters’ about how to connect with God, but relegate Jesus’ teaching on ‘everyday matters’ to the sidelines. Perhaps this is no more true than in the area of sexuality. Yet Jesus has profound insight into the nature of all aspects of humanity and offers us a timely word on how to avoid sexual regrets by guarding our hearts w...

As we start a new year are you making any resolutions? Will they last past next week? Are you thankful that 2017 is in the rearview mirror, hopeful that 2018 will be better? As we turn the page from 2017, what is the story that your life will write on the pages of the chapter called 2018? Join us Sunday as we take a look at what will give us the footing necessary so that when 2018 ends, we can bol...

Our Building Committee has been working hard on plans and details for our building redevelopment. In this video, our Architects give us a detailed look at the progress.

When we think of joy, we think of something that is up to us to find. Everyone is searching for joy. We look for it in possessions, money, relationships and our reputation, just to name a few. But joy in those things fades. Even after Christmas is all over, when the food is no more, when the gifts become a couple weeks old and when all the world is back to the routine of life, where will we find o...

Have you ever wished there was more peace in your life? Peace in your home… Peace in the world… To be at peace with yourself… Peace with God. Is this even possible? What would your life be like if you were to “Be at Peace?” Join us Sunday as we explore what it means to Be At Peace.

In Mark 4, Jesus uses the language of seed and soil to help illustrate how people respond to the Word of God. The Seed represents the WORD of God, and the Soil represents the condition of the hearts of people in response to the availability of the Kingdom of God. As powerful as seed is, it is always at the mercy of the SOIL it finds itself in. Jesus describes the path on which some seed is planted...

What does it mean to have hope? We live in a time when it seems there is more hurt, pain and disappointment - in our lives, in our news feed - than stories, words or experiences of hope. So where do we find hope in the midst of all the brokenness and chaos that seem to rule the world? Does the good news of "God with us" change how we navigate the world we live in; does it offer us hope that can su...

In Mark 4:18 Jesus explains what he means: Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; 19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. Here the soil is soft enough that the seed can penetrate and the roots can grow deep because there are no rocks. The plant begins to spring forth, but then...
