St. Albert Alliance Church

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...

How do you say I am sorry? In the Christian faith there is an expectation that we have encountered or understood the forgiveness that is offered to us through Jesus. But what does forgiveness look like as we walk out relationship with others? Living forgiveness is the hard work of community; there is a cost to it and yet it brings freedom to the life of an apprentice of Jesus. Join us Sunday as we...

In Mark 4:16, Jesus explains what he means: Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Watch now as Pastor Jeremy unpacks this more in this week's Seed Thought video!

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. We have been tasked with the gift and responsibility t...

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is not addressing material for religious soap boxes and matters of cultural irrelevance. Rather he tackles head on the real stuff of life – anger, lust, divorce, manipulation, enemy opposition – all with the intent to show us the way to a full experience of Kingdom life. This week Pastor Jeremy helps uncover Jesus’ direction on how to overcome anger and it’s deadl...

In Mark 4, Jesus uses the language of seed and soil to help illustrate how people respond to the Word of God. The Seed, Jesus tell us, represents the WORD of God. And John 1, makes it clear that Jesus Himself, is the living WORD of God and 2 Tim 3:16 tells us that All Scripture is God-breathed…that the Bible is his very WORD to us. The Seed Project – the name we’ve given to our Building Redevelopm...

Churches are dying and closing at alarming rates across Canada. Clearly the Church is no longer mainstream and now must operate from the margins of society. How do we rethink church from the location we now find ourselves? What does it mean today to be God’s people, on mission, making disciples, in a post-christian and oft times resistant culture? Join us as we explore what God has to say to the C...

Jesus in his life was often misunderstood; the same is true today. If you were to ask who he was and what he stood for, the responses would vary greatly. So as we seek to understand what it means to be an apprentice of Jesus, where do we go for our information? How does the scripture move beyond a list of rules full of do’s and don’ts? Join us Sunday as we continue to explore the Jesus Manifesto.

The Sermon on the Mount begins with a list of Blessings, or Beatitudes. Understanding these Blessings and their significance to this Jesus Manifesto is critically important for us today because they set up the framework through which we understand the entire sermon. So the question lingers… have I understood what Jesus is saying through them? Come and share the beautiful truth of the Beatitudes wi...

Join us we kick off our new sermon series ‘The Jesus Manifesto’ exploring Jesus’ greatest teaching, The Sermon on the Mount (found in Matthew 5-7). This great sermon is Jesus’ Manifesto – his public declaration of his intentions, beliefs, and vision for life in the Kingdom of God. This week Pastor Jeremy will lay the foundation for our journey together over the coming year.

Even though we live in a time when we have never been more connected, the reality of loneliness and disconnection has never been greater. Each one of us has been created with the need for community. So where do we begin and why would we make the choice to be linked together with others. Join us as we explore why we are better together.
