Zeal for your House
What stirs your passion? In John 2, we see Jesus do something shocking ... He flips tables in the temple. But His anger isn’t random; it’s rooted in deep love and longing. Jesus is zealous for the presence of God and the purity of worship.
This week, we reflect on what it means to worship in spirit and truth and how Jesus makes a way for all people to draw near to God. What if worship isn’t just music or a moment, but a way of living in response to a holy God?
Join us as we explore what true worship looks like and what Jesus' passion means for our own hearts.

Born Again | John 3:1-21
We all long for something more—real life, lasting hope, true peace.
In John 3, Jesus has a late-night conversation with Nicodemus, a religious leader searching for answers. What Jesus tells him is both simple and revolutionary: to enter the Kingdom of God, we must be born again. But what does that actually mean? In this sermon, Rita unpacks Jesus’ words, showing us that being born again isn’t about rules or religion—it’s about surrender. It’s about stepping out of the darkness and into the life only Jesus can offer.
Watch now and be reminded: Jesus didn’t come to condemn the world, but to save it. And that invitation is for you.

He Must Increase I Must DecreaseWhat if we’re making faith more complicated than it needs to be? In this message, we explore a simple but powerful truth from John the Baptist in John 3:22-36: He must increase, I must decrease. What does that actually look like in our lives? And what might be standing in the way? Join us as we unpack this together.

The Women at the Well - Youth Takeover Weekend
We all have places we hide—whether it’s our past, our insecurities, or the comforts we cling to. In John 4, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well, someone who thought her story disqualified her, and invites her into something greater. He offers her living water—a new life that won’t run dry. And through her, an entire village comes to know Him. This story reminds us that Jesus sees us, knows us, and sends us out to invite others. Maybe it’s time to step out of hiding and share what He’s done in your life.
The Book of Signs | Your Son will Live
We talk about distance all the time—how close or far we feel in relationships, in goals, or even in our faith. In John 4, we see a desperate father travel miles to find Jesus, hoping for a miracle. But Jesus does something unexpected—He doesn’t go with him. Instead, He simply speaks, and it’s enough. This story reminds us that no matter how far we feel—physically, spiritually, emotionally—Jesus is never out of reach. The question is, will we take Him at His word, even when we don’t see the miracle yet?
Authority of the FatherJesus asks a man who’s been waiting 38 years for healing a powerful question: ‘Do you want to get well?’ His response reveals more than just his physical condition—it speaks to the human tendency to stay stuck. In John 5, we see Jesus confronting both suffering and legalism, inviting us into true freedom and life with Him. He’s always at work. The question is—are we ready to step into what He’s offering?
The Good Shepherd
We live in a noisy world. So many voices compete for our attention; our culture, our desires, our fears. But do we recognize the voice that truly matters? In John 10, Jesus says He is the Good Shepherd. He knows His sheep .. and His sheep know His voice. But how do we learn to hear it? And more importantly, will we follow when He calls? Join us as we explore what it means to be known, led, and loved by the Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep.____________Sherwood Park Alliance Church Sunday Sermon on John | The Book of Signs | The Good Shepherd__________To receive sermon-based questions and study guide, visit spac.ca/subscribe and click “Sermon Based Questions”
Lazarus
What do we do when death feels final? When hope feels lost? When Jesus doesn’t show up how (or when) we expected?In John 11, we meet Lazarus, a man Jesus loved… who died. But this story isn’t just about grief or even resurrection, it’s about trust. Trusting Jesus when the timing doesn’t make sense. Trusting Him in sorrow, in waiting, and in places that feel beyond saving.
Join us as we consider the voice of the One who calls us out of the grave and into new life.
