North Country Alliance Church

In Acts 13, the people of Pisidian Antioch hear the message of Jesus and are faced with how they will respond.

They’re told that through Jesus, forgiveness is offered and new life is available. But even with that clarity, people respond in very different ways. Some lean in and want more. Others push back and walk away.
As we look at their story, we learn that…Transformation requires decision.Discipleship requires hunger.Mission requires discernment. 

Tune in as we explore this pivotal moment in the life of the early church.

Could it be that we miss God’s direction because we haven’t made room for His presence?Acts 13 shows what happens when a church prioritizes God’s presence and listens to the Spirit’s leading.Watch today’s message and then respond by asking God to awaken your heart.

How should Christians respond to trial, tribulation, and a world that often feels chaotic? Above everything else, we should pray.Not passively. Not as a last resort. But with bold faith in the God who raised Jesus from the dead and still moves in power today.This week in Acts 12 we were reminded of this truth:The most transformational system we can adopt as a church is a culture of passionate and persistent prayer.If we want to see lives changed, families restored, and our community transformed, it starts in the place of prayer.Watch this week’s message and be encouraged to pray passionately and persistently for God to move.

What does a healthy church look like? Acts 11 shows us a beautiful picture of a healthy church in Antioch. They’re a church committed to reaching the lost and equipping the found. Tune in as we talk more about becoming a church like them — and hear from some of our Foundations 201 discipleship cohort members on how they’re being equipped.

We all carry things we don’t talk about — regrets, shame, doubts, and quiet lies about who we are. We try to manage the weight. We push through. We cope.But what if you weren’t meant to just get by?Easter reminds us of this incredible truth: Jesus changes everything. Not just theoretically, but actually. Not just for other people, but for you.Because of his life, death, and resurrection, forgiveness and new life are available.You can enter into God’s family through faith in the crucified and resurrected Jesus – with your past washed clean and with a glorious future ahead.

“For the joy set before him, he endured the cross. Hebrews 12:2Good Friday invites us to fix our eyes on Jesus and remember the love that led him to the cross. It invites us to pray, "may the Lamb who was slain receive the reward of his suffering."

Life doesn’t always go the way we expect. In Acts 9:36–42, we learn how to trust God in life’s hardest moments and build our faith in his ability to do the impossible.

Who in your life feels “too far gone”? Saul once breathed threats against the church… and yet God transformed him into a powerful witness. We must remember that God is still in the business of transformation today.

In Acts 8, a misfit traveled 1,500 miles searching for God and longing for hope. In the middle of the search God sent him a messenger to rewrite his story. God has made the gospel for everyone and he has empowered us to share it with those around us.AskGet answers, explore topics, and more.

It’s hard when things get hard. When life feels smooth, faith feels easy. But what happens when everything shakes? When pressure rises? When anxiety creeps in?In Acts 8, the early church faces real persecution — and instead of retreating into silence or suiting up to fight, they step forward in faith. The result? An entire city filled with joy.Join us as we work to develop a sanctified imagination so that when hard days come, we don’t default to fear — we stay on mission.

The gospel still changes lives. There is no philosophy, worldview, or spiritual power stronger than Jesus.But there’s a warning in Acts 8: You can want the power of God without actually surrendering to God. We must purse gospel transformation over counterfeit faith while staying on mission and not growing cynical. Tune in as we explore how to do this!

What does it take to reach our world today?It takes faithful witnesses who are Spirit-Empowered and formed by the Word, open to God’s work, and focused on Jesus.

Unity attracts. Disunity distracts.If we want gospel impact out there, it has to start with Spirit-formed unity in here.Watch this week’s sermon: Becoming a Healthy Church

Our world feels tense and divided. It’s easy to get caught up in the culture war raging around us, but Scripture gives us a better way forward. In Acts 4, the church faced real opposition and chose prayer over outrage, trusting that God’s Spirit working through them was how the world would truly be changed.

Faith-filled risks don’t always look big but they can change everything. In Acts 3, a simple moment of obedience became a doorway to personal and community transformation.

What happens when the Spirit moves? Lives change, hearts are transformed, and the mission of God advances. Watch our latest message on Acts 2 and see how Spirit-empowered, gospel-centered, mission-focused living can turn our world upside-down!

Many pray for revival. Few are willing to seek it wholeheartedly.Revival begins when God’s people respond, repent, and recommit.Don’t despise small beginnings. God is at work.

What does God do when His creation is broken beyond recognition? He doesn’t abandon it. He moves in.In this week’s Advent message, we reflect on John 1:14–18 and the incredible truth that God stepped into our world—not from a distance, but in love—to restore what was broken and invite us into relationship with Him.No matter where you find yourself today, you are not beyond repair. You are deeply loved.

Have you ever been forgotten by someone who should have remembered you? That awkward wave… the confused look… the quiet sting of rejection.At Christmas, God chose to step into that exact reality — knowing He wouldn’t be recognized, knowing He’d be rejected — and He came anyway.Why?Because it brings God joy to seek after those who don’t recognize Him and to welcome us as sons and daughters.This week’s message from John 1 reminds us:✨ God sends a messenger✨ God endures rejection✨ God adopts us into His familyNo matter how far you feel, no matter how many times you’ve walked away — the Father’s arms are still open and that is cause for great joy!

You can chase success, relationships, gifts, or approval… but nothing will ever be enough.As Pastor Kevin said this morning, “We have a God-sized hole in us that we try to fill with many things, but the only thing that can actually fill and satisfy us is God Himself. And thankfully God’s not elusive; he’s not hard to find or evasive at all. That’s what the Christmas story is about – it’s about God coming to us, seeking us out, revealing himself so that we can have life that’s truly life – life in, with, and through Jesus."Join us this morning as we look at the Advent of Peace in John 1:1-5. Due to technical difficulties we were only able to record a portion of today's sermon.

If you are watching the news it is very easy to lose hope. Where does your hope come from? Wealth? Achievement? Influence? Family? Listen in as Ken Fuller shares his testimony of his hope in Jesus.

Some endings disappoint. But God’s story doesn’t.Today we looked at the return of Jesus when evil ends, tears are wiped away, and the world is remade.It’s a sobering message and a hope-filled one — because the Lamb who was slain is worthy, and He invites us into His victory.Catch the final message of The Best Story Ever here:

The same power that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in His people. So why do so many of us walk around defeated and distracted? Join us as we rediscover the mission God has given his church: to proclaim the Best Story Ever to those around us. We aren’t called to sit back while watching and waiting… we’re called to work in the waiting. Check out the full sermon:

Every great story has a plot twist. In The Best Story Ever, death doesn’t get the final word and hope is resurrected.Celebrate Easter in November — watch the message below

We’re all broken in some way. But Jesus never leaves broken things broken — He heals, restores, and forgives.This week’s message from Mark 2 shows just how far Jesus will go to make us whole… And how far we should go to bring others to Him.

Every story in Scripture points to this moment — when God kept His promise and sent the Savior into the world.Born in Bethlehem.Announced to shepherds.The long-awaited Messiah has come to bring redemption.This message bridges the Old and New Testaments — showing how Jesus is the fulfillment of every promise and the hope of the world.Watch now and consider: Where are you with Jesus today?

Have you ever faced the consequences of your own choices and thought, “God must be done with me”?Israel did too.But their story in exile reminds us that even in our lowest moments, God’s mercy is still moving.Join us for Best Story Ever: Hope in Exile — a message about consequences, redemption, and the God who never gives up.

Ever been excited for something — only to realize it didn’t fix what you hoped it would? Israel wanted a king to make life better. But what they discovered was that no human king could fix the brokenness inside. This week’s message from The Best Story Ever shows how their longing points us to the True King — the only one who can fix the brokenness.

What if the Ten Commandments weren’t meant to restrict you… but to restore you?When God gave His law to Israel, it wasn’t a list of rules to crush them — it was a gift to form them. He was teaching His people how to live with Him and with one another in a way that leads to life, not bondage. The same God who freed Israel from Egypt still calls us to a life of freedom today.

Life can feel messy, confusing, even unfair… just like the middle of a story you can’t yet fully see. This week, we dive into God’s incredible plan to rescue His people from Egypt—and how the same God delivers us from our own captivity.Listen to the full message and be reminded: Our God saves!

Our world feels heavy right now. Violence, division, and brokenness are everywhere—and it can make us wonder if God has forgotten His promises.But the story of Abraham reminds us: delay doesn’t mean derailment. God is still faithful. His plan is still unfolding. And there is hope even when everything looks hopeless. Catch this week’s message in our Best Story Ever series:

The world is broken — shame, pain, and evil are everywhere. But that’s not how the story began. And it’s not how the story ends.

Could God really awaken an entire region? In Acts 9, the transformation of one man spread so far and wide that whole towns placed their faith in Jesus. What happened then shows us that regional awakening is possible when God’s people live with vision and bold faith. What if God did the same thing in Plattsburgh and the North Country today?Catch today’s message in our Greater Things series and let’s dream together about what Jesus can do in and through us.

In Luke 10, Martha was busy while Mary was still.In John 11, Martha ran to Jesus while Mary stayed back in her grief.Two sisters. Two different responses. Same invitation.Jesus gently shows them — and us — that there’s always a next step. Sometimes it looks like slowing down, sometimes like drawing near in our pain, sometimes like serving with worship in our hearts.The point? Disciples move deeper.Not by doing everything right, but by taking the next step with Jesus.

Last week, we declared that Jesus transforms everything. This week, we’re reminded of the other half of that truth: When Jesus changes your life, it’s not just for you—it’s for the world around you.In Mark 5, we meet a man who is lost, tortured, and without hope. But one encounter with Jesus changes everything. And instead of letting him stay by His side, Jesus sends him out to share his story—because found people find people.This isn’t just his story. It’s ours too.You don’t have to have all the answers. You just need to share what Jesus has done for you—because your story might be the spark that changes someone else’s eternity.

Have you ever felt stuck—like nothing is ever going to change?Maybe you've prayed, cried out, begged God… but you're still waiting. Still hurting. Still wondering if breakthrough is even possible.This week’s message is a reminder that Jesus still transforms everything.He’s not done. He’s not distant. He’s still working — in your life, in your family, in our community, and in the world.

We all mess up. We’ve all lost our way at some point — whether it’s fear, pride, or regret holding us back. And no amount of tough love or self-improvement can fix it.But what if change doesn’t start with trying harder… but with turning back to the One who can actually restore us?Jesus offers a different way — not with condemnation, but with compassion. With grace that meets you exactly where you are.No matter how far you’ve drifted — you’re never too far to come back.#GraceOverGuilt #JesusOnly #RealChangeStartsHere #ComeBackToHope #YouBelongHere

We all try to run our lives—only to find ourselves more frustrated, more exhausted, and more empty. But what if the secret to truly living isn’t found in doing more, being better, or trying harder… but in dying?In John 12, Jesus shows us that the way to life is through surrender. It’s not about self-fulfillment. It’s not about self-actualization. It’s about crucifying the self and clinging to Jesus Only.Listen to today's sermon now and be challenged to step off the throne and say with full allegiance: Jesus Only is my Lord and my God.

What do you do when hearing about Jesus isn’t enough? In today's sermon from John 12, we meet some Gentile seekers who weren’t satisfied with stories—they needed to see Jesus for themselves. Their longing becomes a turning point in Jesus’ mission and raises a powerful question for us today: Are we really seeking to behold Jesus, or are we settling for a secondhand faith? Join us as we discover why Jesus Only is still the hope of the whole world and why we would should be desiring to see him.

What we believe about Jesus changes everything!In a world full of opinions, Jesus still asks the most important question: “Who do YOU say I am?”Catch Sunday’s message as we kick off our new Jesus Only series and recenter our hearts on the One who is still Messiah, still the Son of the Living God, still able to transform hearts!

Feeling lost in the storm? Trials aren’t proof that God is absent—they’re where He grows our faith. Today Dave Kane shared a powerful word reminding us: God is with you even when you feel alone. You can praise Him before the promise comes. Trust doesn’t require full understanding.

Is something missing in your relationship with God? So many of us grew up hearing that Jesus died for our sins so we could go to heaven someday. And while that’s true (and it is good news!), what if there’s more?What if the gospel isn’t just about eternity later… but about fullness now?In this message, we explore a powerful prayer from Paul in Ephesians — a prayer that reveals God's vision for our lives today:✅ That Christ would dwell in us deeply✅ That we would truly grasp how much He loves us✅ That we would expect to live in His fullness — here and nowIf you’ve ever felt like something’s missing in your spiritual life… like you’re going through the motions, but your soul is still hungry… this message is for you.

Have you ever felt like there had to be more?More than routine. More than religion. More than just showing up at church on Sundays.This week’s message was raw and real. Pastor Kevin shared part of his own story—how encountering God personally changed everything for him—and what it means for us as a church today.We’re not after hype. We’re after Him.We’re not content with going through the motions.We want to be a people marked by God’s presence.Watch the message now and join us as we seek real encounter:

Happy Mother’s Day!Today Pastor Kevin was joined by a special guest: his wife, Brooke! Together, they’re sharing about how God’s goodness and grace is sufficient for all of life — even the really difficult parts where we feel completely inadequate!It’s a powerful encouragement for and all of us who sometimes feel like we’re not strong enough. The good news? We don’t have to be because God’s grace meets us in our weakness!

Most of us want our lives to be like a beautiful vase—put together, full of purpose, free from cracks. But real life doesn’t look like that for long.At some point, something breaks. And when it does, we’re left wondering: Can anything good come from this?But God doesn’t discard the shattered pieces of your life.He repurposes them. Redeems them. And makes something even more beautiful than before.This is a message of hope for anyone who’s ever felt broken. Take a few minutes to watch—it could change how you see your story.

Imagine pedaling as fast as you can, looking over your shoulder, convinced something is chasing you down…So many of us live like that—constantly running from anxiety, shame, fear, or regret. But what if the thing chasing us isn’t trying to harm us…What if it’s God’s goodness and love, trying to catch us and lead us into life?This message from Psalm 23 will shift your perspective and give you hope—especially if you’re feeling tired, stuck, or uncertain.

Today, as we celebrate Easter, we step into the ultimate story of transformation — the resurrection of Jesus. It’s not just the story of how one man came back to life — it’s the story of how God’s love has been revealed to us. It’s the story of salvation, of rebirth, of renewal. Ultimately, Easter is an invitation to be transformed by the same power that rose Jesus from the grave. And to help us see what this kind of transformation looks like, we’re going to look at the story of Jesus through a slightly different lens – it’s not the typical Easter story.We’re going to trace the journey of a man named Nicodemus who journeys from cautious curiosity in the beginning of Jesus’ ministry to being a transformed disciple after Jesus’ crucifixion. But how does this happen? Tune in to find out.

What do you do when everything feels too far gone?In Ezekiel 37, the prophet is led into a valley filled with dry bones—a battlefield of death and despair. From a human perspective, it’s hopeless.But then God asks a surprising question:“Can these bones live?”This week’s message dives into what happens when God breathes life into what seems dead—dead hope, dead faith, dead dreams.It’s not about trying harder. It’s not about looking put together.It’s about being filled with the Spirit of the Living God.If you’ve ever felt stuck in a valley, this is the message you need.Listen now and experience the power of Spirit-Reliant Transformation.

What if the life you’re holding onto is the very thing keeping you from the life God is calling you to?In this week’s message, we looked at the story of Elisha—how his ordinary life was interrupted by an extraordinary call, and how he responded by burning the plows and never looking back.Transformation always comes with a cost.But what we gain in following God is far greater than what we leave behind.If you’ve been feeling stuck, too comfortable, or unsure of your next step—this message is for you.
