A Study in Colossians
Disarming Power | St. Albert Alliance April 3, 2022 Sermon
April 3, 2022 • Mike Sotski
You don’t have to look far to see positions of power abused. Whether it is in relationship, workplaces, or other organizational structures. As we continue our series Simply Jesus, we see Paul confronting the traditional power dynamics and setting the course for a new way of living.
Radical Unity | St. Albert Alliance March 27, 2022 Sermon
March 27, 2022 • Lisa Peters
So often we surround ourselves in relationships with people who think, feel and behave like we do because we think this is what true Christian unity looks like, but Paul describes something very different in Colossians 3. Join us as we continue our teaching series, Simply Jesus, and look at what true Christian unity is meant to be.
Put To Death | St. Albert Alliance March 20, 2022 Sermon
March 20, 2022 • Dan MacGillivray
Everyone wants to change. We all have this ideal life we want to live, where sin is no longer an issue. But we find ourselves in a tug of war between our old self, before Jesus, and our new self in Christ. Will it always be this way? Are we destined to live this back and forth life where the things we want to do we don’t do? And the things we don’t want to do, are the things we can’t escape? As we continue through the letter to the Colossian Church, Paul is asking us, “What do we believe is the key to real transformation?” The answer is better than we could ever imagine!
Set Your Sights | St. Albert Alliance March 13, 2022 Sermon
March 13, 2022 • Mike Sotski
Welcome to the St. Albert Alliance Church Digital Gathering! Look at where you want to go, not at the obstacles you are trying to avoid - this is a lesson with multiple applications. As we continue our series, Simply Jesus, Paul’s words challenge the obstacles we often set our sights on that we are trying to avoid. Join us on Sunday as we explore what it means to fix our eyes on Jesus.
Spiritual Liberty | St. Albert Alliance March 6, 2022 Sermon
March 6, 2022 • Josh Ginn
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.
United with Christ | St. Albert Alliance February 27, 2022 Sermon
February 27, 2022 • Lisa Peters
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.
Countering Division | St. Albert Alliance February 20, 2022 Sermon
February 20, 2022 • Mike Sotski
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.
The Power of Purpose | February 13, 2022
February 13, 2022 • Dylan Overdyk
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. To give, make a prayer request or connect visit: https://staalliance.org/connectcard
The Gift of Reconciliation | St. Albert Alliance February 6, 2022 Sermon
February 6, 2022 • Lisa Peters
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.
Jesus Only | St. Albert Alliance January 30, 2022 Sermon
January 30, 2022 • Lisa Peters
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.
Hope That Grows | St. Albert Alliance January 23, 2022 Sermon
January 23, 2022 • Mike Sotski
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.
Three Gifts | St. Albert Alliance January 16, 2022 Sermon
January 16, 2022 • Carl Waldron
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? | St. Albert Alliance January 9, 2022 Sermon
January 9, 2022 • Mike Sotski
“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.
