Alliance Bible Church - Mequon, Wisconsin

Forget Disney. Forget Bora Bora. Forget the Alps. When it comes to heaven on earth, the Church is the closest thing you'll find. Why?

"Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst" (1 Cor. 3:16)?

The Church is the dwelling place of God. There's simply no better soul-healing, heart-satisfying, truth-seeking community to be a part of.

1) The Moral Structure of Gospel-Community
2) The Family Nature of Gospel-Community
3) The Material Support of Gospel-Community

Text: Romans 12:9-13

Is the gospel message just the entrance into the Christian faith and then we move on to something else? Or is there more to it? The gospel is not only the starting point but it should also be central in our lives and the life of the church. How so? Join us, as we find out!

1) The Power of God
2) The Foolishness of God
3) The Worship of God

Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31

The Bible is no ordinary book. It's supernatural. The powerful word God spoke to create the universe, whose dimensions we still don't know, is unleashed when we engage with this extraordinary book. If you want to know what is core to Alliance Bible Church, it starts with this.

1) What We Believe About God’s Word
2) How We Feel About God’s Word
3) What We Do With God’s Word

Text: Psalm 119

The long road of the Christian life seems to be dotted with failures, accidents and people who seemingly bailed out altogether on their faith. What are we to make of these situations and, more importantly, how can we make it for the long haul in our faith?

1) Practical Perseverance Remembers
2) Practical Perseverance Remains
3) Practical Perseverance Renders Mercy

Text: Jude 17-23

In the gospels, when people had a life-changing encounter with Jesus, they couldn't keep quiet about it. It's time for us to start blabbing about the gospel more than we do. In this message, we'll see even Jesus endorses such an action.

The sower is an evangelist scattering the seed of the Word into places where no seed has been scattered. 

1) We Scatter Indiscriminately
2) We Are Realistic About the Opposition
3) We Scatter SEED
4) We Sleep Well

Text: Mark 4:1-20

"I am a woman trapped in a man's body." This is a statement heard often today. The underlying assumption is striking: my desires and feelings are right and my body is wrong. Why is that the case? Why couldn't the body be right and the feelings wrong? Welcome to the world of "expressive individualism," where personal desires are good and need to be listened to and satisfied.

1) Where Feelings Come From
2) How to Train Our Feelings

Text: Mark 7:21-23; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:9b-18; Isaiah 26:3; Psalm 42:5-6; Luke 5:15-16

As Christians, we live in a world filled with new challenges around every corner. How can one even hope to navigate this complex world and still enjoy life? We’ll explore this question and more as we look at our call to “walk by the Spirit.”

1) Motivation
2) Direction
3) Action
4) Production
5) Cooperation

Text: Galatians 5:16-26 

The world is filled with suffering, from abuse to illnesses to death. How are we to respond in the midst of it? Is there any hope? In this message, we will look at the connection between suffering and God's justice, and what that means on this side of heaven.

In our suffering, we can cry out to God while looking forward to His justice.

3 Points:
1) The People of God Suffer
2) The People of God Lament
3) The People of God Praise

Text: Psalm 137
