St. Albert Alliance Church

Over the past two years, there have been a lot of conversations about freedom. Join us as we continue our study of the book of Colossians and examine the spiritual liberty Paul lived out of and how he encourages us to live out of today as we seek to apprentice with Jesus.

We all understand the significance of a good match in relationship! From friendships to business partnerships to marriage the quality of our “union” with people significantly impacts the quality of absolutely everything in our life! Join us as we continue in our Teaching series, Simply Jesus, reflecting on the truth that our choice to apprentice with Jesus is the most significant union we will ever enter into with the most significant gifts as a result.

We are living in a time where it seems like there is no middle ground on any issue we face. The polarizing viewpoints are on full blast, and we find it easy to dismiss the ones we see on the other side of the spectrum. Join us on Sunday as we explore Jesus as central to counter formation and how lives can be knit together in a time of division.

As we continue our study of Colossians, this week, we are looking at Colossians 1:24-29. Paul sees how we, human beings, need a purpose. In this passage, Paul talks about the purpose of suffering, the purpose of mission and the purpose of identity and is speaking to all Christians - past, present and future. Join us as we hear from our StAAC Pastoral Intern, Dylan Overdyk.

In any broken relationship reconciliation is a gift beyond measure. To have the fracture mended, to experience undeserved grace in reconciliation is a powerful thing and impacts our lives in meaningfully significant ways. As we continue in our teaching series, Simply Jesus, studying the book of Colossians, Pastor Lisa shares the profound gift of reconciliation offered to us by God in Jesus and how we can live in the reality of this gift of grace every single day.

Something we say often at St. Albert Alliance Church is that Jesus is First in everything. As we continue in our series, Simply Jesus, Pastor Lisa shares from Colossians 1:15-20. These six verses are widely regarded as the “pinnacle” of all the New Testament teaching concerning Jesus. This beautiful passage is central to who we are at St. Albert Alliance and continues to compel us to live a “Jesus first” story.

When we hear the word ‘hope,’ we often associate it with wishful thinking, something akin to a wish - that our desired outcome will become a reality. Unfortunately, that kind of hope doesn’t have much staying power in the face of uncertainty and disappointment. Join us as Pastor Mike continues our series, Simply Jesus, and we explore the Confident hope Paul commends and how it can form the hope we have as we navigate life.

What do we truly need to experience the kind of life Jesus intends for his followers? At the opening of his letter to the Colossians, the Apostle Paul shares three gifts that result in our spiritual growth, a joyful life, and unshakeable security. They’re also crucial for us here at StAAC as we prepare for a new chapter in our church’s story. Join us as Carl Waldron continues our new series, Simply Jesus.

“Who’s in charge anyway?” It’s a question that often gets asked on teams, in organizations and workplaces. In seasons of uncertainty, the desire to know who is in charge often intensifies. We look for someone to have the right answers, to know the direction and help us feel a sense of certainty. Join us on Sunday as we start our new series, Simply Jesus, looking at Christ as Head of the Church.

Jesus gives us a picture of what’s most important: to love God & to love our neighbour as ourself. As we enter into 2022, how are we intentionally making this a priority? Let’s take time to craft a rule of life for the next year so that we are intentional as we abide in Jesus - through this everything else will come together and our priorities will be in order

Coming out of advent, let’s take time to pause & reflect - what in the past year has been our priority? As we look ahead to 2022, what are we prioritizing? As we think through our priorities, what does Jesus have to say that is most important and does it align with how we’ve oriented our own lives?

Joy is something we all want to experience. However, it seems like life often wants to rob of us that joy. So, we do our best to manufacture it - we try to find it in a gift, a relationship or by distracting ourselves from our circumstances. What if joy isn’t something you create but something you choose? What if, no matter what season of life you find yourself in, Jesus is inviting us to choose joy? How do we do that? Is it possible to choose joy no matter what’s going on in your life? Join us as Pastor Dan continues our Advent series, God With Us.

Ronald Rolheiser once wrote: “The mark of a deeply mature man or woman, the mark of a very mature disciple of Jesus, and the mark of someone truly giving his or her life away is this: he or she is a person who blesses others and blesses the world, just as God does and just as Jesus did.” Join us this Sunday as Pastor Jeremy shares with us his last message as the Lead Pastor, blessing and praying for us as a church family as we follow Jesus into all that He has for us in the days ahead.

In our lives, we will inevitably face difficulties and go through storms, and it can be difficult to have hope in the midst of these storms. Join us as we begin our Advent series, God With Us, and Pastor Bob speaks about how we can find hope, even when we face the most difficult storms in life.

Sometimes the Bible can be hard to understand, can’t it?  Often passages from scripture that are difficult to understand can be real tripping hazards for us because misunderstanding God’s word can lead to misunderstanding His heart.  Join us as Pastor Lisa concludes our teaching series in the book of James, More than a Hashtag by addressing some potential tripping hazards with a fresh invitation from God to experience His love and grace.

On Sunday, November 21st, Jeremy Peters, Lead Pastor of St. Albert Alliance Church announced his resignation. To view Jeremy’s announcement as well as a statement from our Elder’s board and information on Pastor Jeremy’s final weeks at StAAC, visit staalliance.org/Jeremy

Have you ever gone through a hard time, and you said something like, that was one of the hardest things in my life, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything? Hopefully, we can look back and say the same about COVID sooner rather than later. God would not have us see only the short-term view of what’s going in life, but to have our sights on the long-term view and have a greater hope of eternity with Jesus, the coming king.

It's easy to look at the rich and famous and think that you aren’t very wealthy. It can even grow a sense of envy in our hearts as we live out of comparison, thinking if we just had a little more, the peace we are looking for would be ours. What if instead of peace, wealth actually brings anxieties. Join us as we continue our series more than a hashtag exploring our views on wealth and what it might reveal about our heart.

We all make hundreds of judgements every single day.  This food tastes delicious.  That cashier is having a bad day.  My kid is having a bad day even though I’ve prepared delicious food!  We do this all time – making judgments without any concern of being judgmental.  What makes the difference?  How do we live wisely and with discernment without slipping into being unfairly critical and judgmental?  Join us this weekend as Pastor Jeremy helps us consider this as we continue in our series on the book of James: More than a Hashtag.
