Alliance Bible Church - Mequon, Wisconsin

The ways in which people deal with grief vary from person to person. At times things can feel very hopeless and filled with despair. Questions arise such as "Where is God?" or "Does He care?" How can we see God's provision in the midst of this? This Sunday we will see how the Lord shows His care for His church through the means of His church.

1) Respect for the family
2) Caring for the sufferer

Your pastor isn't there to meet your expectations. He's under orders, and you get to hear them firsthand. In 1 Timothy 4:6-10, Paul grabs Timothy by the cheeks and tells him exactly what a faithful pastor feeds on, trains for, and runs on, and it may not match what you've been asking for. Come find out what's really behind the pulpit, and whether your expectations would survive it.

1) Feed on the right things

“Primary nonadherence”—receiving a prescription but never filling it—isn’t just a medical problem; it’s a spiritual one. Many gladly receive the diagnosis (“I need Jesus”) but quietly skip the prescription: belonging to an actual, gathered, imperfect local church. Join us as we open 1 Timothy 3:14–16 and explore why the church is God’s household, the assembly of the living...

The Bible speaks of Jesus being the head of the church, but what does that mean for local churches? Is there a way in which local churches should be led? If so, are there qualifications for those leaders? The good news is that Jesus has not left us to figure this out on our own. We will see what Jesus has done for the continued maturity of his bride!

1) The office
2) The qualifications
3) The purpose

In a cultural moment that keeps rewriting the scripts for manhood and womanhood, 1 Timothy 2:8–15 confronts us with God’s good design for men and women in worship—holy hearts, not hidden grudges; real character, not curated appearances. We’ll face one of the New Testament’s most contested passages head‑on by asking which instinct must change: our cultural one, or our biblical one. Come “unroll th...

The news is exhausting. The division feels permanent. The leaders you'd pray for are the last people you want to pray for. Paul wrote 1 Timothy while Nero was on the throne. His answer to that political reality wasn't strategy or self-protection. It was prayer — bold, wide, world-reaching prayer for all people. "The Prescription: Pray Big" — because the God who wants all people to be saved is bigger than the news cycle,...

Deconstruction isn't a modern invention — Paul saw it coming two thousand years ago and gave the church its prescription. We're in 1 Timothy 1:18–20, where Paul commissions Timothy to fight the good fight and names two men who didn't — and the difference between them and Timothy wasn't intelligence or background, it was whether they kept holding on. Join us as we look at the nature of the fight worth having, the w...

Amazing grace isn’t a spiritual tune‑up for basically good people; it is the rescue of confessed wretches by a Savior who dives into the freezing water to pull us from the wreck. One sentence in 1 Timothy 1:15 — “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” — has turned persecutors into pastors and teenagers into worshipers undone by the glory of God. We’ll explore how that same sentence can...

What's the difference between clean water and contaminated water? Often, you can't tell until people start getting sick. Paul says the same is true of doctrine — and the stakes are just as real. We're opening 1 Timothy together to ask: what does a healthy church actually look like, and why does it matter more than we think? Join us as we begin a series on God's prescription for a healthy church.

We may find ourselves looking for rest while running on the performance treadmill of life. We think this person, or this thing, will finally provide the rest that I need and yet it never delivers. Where is true rest found? Is it even attainable? We will explore a secure and unbreakable promise of rest for the people of God.

1) A threat to rest
2) A promise of rest
3) A purpose in rest

We're stepping under the altar in Revelation 6 to listen to the voices of the martyrs and the God who has never forgotten their blood. Their cry for justice, the Lamb's terrifying wrath, and the promise of white robes all collide in a single question: on that great day, who will be able to stand? Join us as we wrestle with prayers for both mercy and judgment, and ask whether there would be "enough evidence to convict" us of belongi...

War, unrest, economic anxiety, and pandemics feel like the new normal—but what if Revelation 6 says this has always been Monday in a fallen world? In this message on the four horsemen of the apocalypse, we’ll see that conquest, chaos, and scarcity are not signs that God has lost control, but instruments in the hands of the reigning Lamb. Come discover how Christ’s sovereignty can give you a holy backbone to live w...

What if the hardest truth in Revelation isn’t the chaos of evil—but that God is sovereign over it? We'll wrestle honestly with the tension between God’s goodness, human responsibility, and a world filled with suffering, showing how one story can carry both human evil and divine purpose. Step into a deeper, unflinching look at reality—and discover why the darkest moments may set the stage for the greatest glo...

What if everything wrong in your life stayed wrong forever—no justice, no healing, no hope—and then One stepped forward who could actually change it? In Revelation 5, heaven goes silent searching for someone worthy to hold the future, until a slain yet standing Lamb walks to the throne and takes the scroll. Come stand at the edge of the throne room and see why Jesus alone is worthy to hold your future in his hands.

Just because the calendar says it's Easter, doesn't mean we feel triumphant. This year, we'll walk alongside two discouraged disciples and discover how the risen Jesus meets us in unmet expectations, fractured dreams, and quiet despair. If you’ve ever felt like life isn’t unfolding according to plan, this message will show you how the resurrection rewrites the ending—and why the worst thing is never the last thing...
