Biblical Faithfulness at UAC
Every day, voices compete to shape what we believe, how we think, and the way we live. In a changing world, where do we find a foundation strong enough to build a life on? We shape our lives around God’s Living Word in order to know and love Him. We read, study, and obey Scripture together so it...
-
The Mission & Vision of UAC
What kind of church is God calling us to become, and what would happen if every one of us embraced that calling together? At Unionville Alliance Church, we believe God has given us a clear mission: to lead people to know Jesus Christ and to follow Him passionately. Everything we do flows from…

A Vision of Mission
What if the next chapter of God’s story is waiting on one courageous “yes”? This Sunday, Darren Herbold, President of The Alliance Canada, will take us into the story of a movement born through courageous faithfulness and a deep conviction that Jesus is worth everything. From the bold steps of A....
-
A Vision of Discipleship
What if following Jesus was never meant to be something we simply believe, but a way of life that shapes who we are and how we live? We will explore what it means for every one of us to take seriously the call of Jesus to be disciples, grow as disciples, and make disciples. We want to be people…

A Vision of Gospel
What if the thing you regret most did not have to define you anymore? At the heart of the gospel is the incredible truth that God sees us fully, knows everything we have done, and still moves toward us with love! We will explore and discover why the cross stands at the very centre of the…
more -
A Vision of Prayer
What if prayer was not just one part of the life of the church, but the real work of the church? Jesus gives us a simple but powerful picture of what prayer can look like when he taught his disciples to pray. First, keep it simple. Prayer does not have to be complicated or impressive. Jesus…

The Lord is Peace
What if peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of God in the middle of it? YHWH Shalom means the Lord is peace, a name revealed to Gideon when fear, insecurity, and calling collide. Gideon feels weak and unqualified, yet God meets him with peace before sending him into purpose.…
more -
The Lord My Rock
What do you stand on when everything beneath you feels unstable? YHWH Tsuri means the Lord my rock, revealing God as the refuge, strength, stability, and saving foundation of His people. Throughout the Psalms, God is called the rock because He is dependable when enemies rise, emotions shake, and...
-
The God of Heaven's Armies
Where do you find courage when you feel surrounded, outnumbered, or overwhelmed? YHWH Sabaoth means the Lord of hosts, the commander of heaven’s armies and the sovereign King over all powers. This name appears often in seasons of battle, fear, injustice, exile, and longing, reminding God’s people...
-
God Almighty
Where do you turn when life exposes your limits? El Shaddai reveals God as the Almighty One, the God who is more than enough when His people are weak, waiting, or unable to bring His promises to pass on their own. He comes to Abraham and Sarah when the promise seems impossible, reminding them…
more -
The Lord is Our Shepherd
Who is leading you, feeding you, and restoring your soul? YHWH Rohi means the Lord is my shepherd, the name David uses in Psalm 23 to describe God’s tender care and faithful guidance. This name reveals a God who does not merely rule from a distance, but walks with His people through green…
more -
The Lord Will Provide
What do you do when obedience leads you to a place where you cannot see the provision yet? YHWH Jireh means the Lord will provide, a name revealed in the story of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah. At the very place of surrender, God provides what Abraham could not provide for himself. This name...
-
When Everything Shifts
What can hold you steady when everything around you keeps changing? El Olam reveals God as the Everlasting God, the One who was before all things, remains through all things, and will be faithful beyond all things. Our lives are marked by change, transition, uncertainty, and endings, but God is…
more -
The Proclamation of Himself
What would God say if He introduced Himself in His own words? In Exodus 34, God passes before Moses and proclaims His name, revealing Himself as merciful, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, forgiving sin, yet perfectly just. This is not humanity reaching up to...
-
What's In A Name?
What if God’s names are not just titles to learn, but invitations to know Him more deeply? Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself by name so that His people would know His character, trust His promises, and recognize His salvation. Elohim shows us the Creator who made all things, YHWH reveals...
-
It's Time to Hustle
Members of the Church should take a more active role in sharing their faith. Drawing from Acts 17 and Paul’s ministry in Athens, Jason Persaud from Alpha Canada explores how believers can effectively connect with different kinds of people—spiritual, everyday, and intellectual—by communicating the...
-
Prayer that Restores
What if the most powerful thing we could do in every season of life is often the thing we neglect the most? James closes his letter by bringing us back to the foundation of a vibrant, living faith: prayer. Not just in moments of crisis, but in every circumstance. When we suffer, we pray. When we...
-
Slow Hope
What do you do when God does not move as quickly as you hoped? James speaks into the tension of waiting, especially in seasons of hardship and injustice. The call is not to rush, complain, or give up, but to endure with a steady and rooted hope. Like a farmer waiting for the harvest, we are…
more -
The Illusion of Control
What if the plans you are most confident in are built on something far more fragile than you realize? James confronts the illusion of control that so easily shapes our lives. We make plans, set goals, and speak with certainty about tomorrow, yet James reminds us that our lives are like a mist…
more -
The Way Back to God
What if the conflicts around you are actually revealing something deeper within you? James pulls back the curtain on our struggles and exposes a hard truth. The conflicts we experience externally often begin internally. Our desires, when they take center place in our hearts, begin to compete with...
-
Wisdom From Above
What if the way we define wisdom is completely off? In a world that prizes influence, intelligence, and self-advancement, James invites us to look deeper. True wisdom is not measured by what we know or how persuasive we are, but by how we live. It is revealed in humility, gentleness, and a life...
-
The Fire in the Mouth
What if one of the most powerful forces shaping your life is something you use every day without thinking? James turns our attention to the tongue, a small part of the body with enormous influence. With just a few words, we can build up or tear down, bring healing or cause lasting damage. James...
-
Faith that Breathes
What if the faith we claim is not the faith we actually live? James confronts one of the most misunderstood and confronting truths in the Christian life. Faith that stays in words alone is not real faith. It may sound right, it may look convincing, but if it does not move into action, it is...
-
No Favourites in the Family
Who gets your attention, your time, and your honor and why? James brings the gospel into one of the most visible and uncomfortable areas of our lives: how we treat people. In a culture that elevates status, wealth, influence, and appearance, it is easy to unknowingly adopt the same values within...
-
Lay Up Treasures in Heaven
Living our lives and spending our time in ways that invest in heavenly treasures is Jesus’ plan and mission for us. The world would have us believe otherwise, but God wants us to guard our hearts against corruption and be transformed so that our hearts would be filled with the fruit of God’s...
-
Desire, Deception, Doing
Why do we so often blame God for things He never authored? James confronts one of the deepest human tendencies: shifting responsibility for our struggles onto God, others, or circumstances. But temptation does not begin out there, it begins within. Our desires, when left unchecked, can quietly…
more -
Enduring Faith
What if the pressures you want removed are actually the very places God is doing His deepest work? James opens his letter not with comfort, but with a challenge that reshapes how we see hardship. Trials are not interruptions to our faith, they are instruments of formation. In a world that avoids...
-
THE EMPTY TOMB
On Easter Sunday, everyone saw an empty tomb and a community startled into hope. Yet what no one saw coming was that God would answer the cross with resurrection, not as a private comfort but as a public turning point in history. The first witnesses came expecting death to have the final word and...
-
THE BLOOD
On Good Friday, everyone saw blood, shame, and a public execution. It looked like the end of hope, the triumph of evil, and the collapse of a movement. Yet what no one could see with natural eyes was that God was accomplishing eternal redemption through sacrifice. Isaiah promised a Servant who...
-
THE KING
Palm Sunday, everyone saw Jesus enter the city to shouts of “Hosanna,” but no one saw coming the kind of King He claimed to be. “Hosanna” wasn’t just celebration. It was a desperate plea: “Save, please!” and Jesus answers it, but on God’s terms, not ours. He deliberately rides in on a donkey,...
-
A Broken House & A Future King
What do you do when the consequences of past decisions collide with the pain of the present? In the final chapters of David’s story, we witness family fracture, rebellion, deep grief, and the heavy cost of leadership as his house begins to shake. Yet even in sorrow and transition God remains...
-
When Kings Fall: Sin, Conviction, Repentance
What happens when the hero of the story becomes the cautionary tale? In 2 Samuel 11 and 12 we are confronted with one of the most sobering moments in David’s life as temptation leads to compromise and hidden sin gives way to devastating consequences. This message reveals how sin slowly deforms…
more -
The Kindness of the King
What if the kindness that could change your life is already searching for you? In 2 Samuel 9 we encounter a powerful moment where King David seeks out Mephibosheth, a forgotten and broken descendant of Saul, not to judge him but to show covenant kindness. What Mephibosheth expects to be a summons...
-
The Promise of an Eternal King
What if the plans you are most excited about are not nearly as big as what God has in mind? David desires to build a house for God, only to discover that God is building a house for him that will last forever. This moment reveals a covenant keeping God whose grace rewrites human ambition and…
more -
The Mission of God is a Multigenerational Endeavour
God’s calling is never meant to stop with one generation—He invites us into a shared mission where each generation experiences Jesus personally and joins the unfolding story of redemption. But what does it look like to steward our faith and invest in the next generations of children and disciples...
-
The Beauty of His Presence
What if the greatest treasure God wants to give His people is not success, security, or strength but His presence? King David reorders the life of the nation around the presence of God as the ark is brought into Jerusalem with reverence and overflowing joy. This moment reveals a God who is both...
-
Living in Your Calling
As we strive towards being accomplished in life, we often forget to put aside our selfish ambitions and listen to the Lord’s calling. Perhaps you have some major personal goals you want to reach, or perhaps you don’t feel like you are eligible or equipped to answer God’s call. Regardless of the...
-
Integrity Under Pressure
What do you do when you finally have the power to strike back and everyone around you says you should? David is given two clear opportunities to end his suffering by taking Saul’s life, yet he chooses restraint over revenge and worships God by waiting on His timing. This message reveals that true...
-
The Wilderness School & The God Who Sustains
What if the season you are trying to escape is the very place God is using to shape you? During David’s fugitive years, we find him running from danger, hiding in caves, and learning to trust God in ways a throne could never teach. Far from being abandoned, David discovers that the wilderness...
-
Covenant Friendship & Costly Loyalty
We often celebrate individual success, but Scripture reminds us that God rarely works in isolation. In 1 Samuel 18 to 20 we encounter the powerful friendship of David and Jonathan, a relationship marked by covenant love, costly loyalty, and deep spiritual unity. Jonathan chooses faithfulness over...
-
Facing Your Giants
What do you do when something stands in front of you that feels bigger, louder, and stronger than you? In 1 Samuel 17 we encounter a familiar story, not about the size of a giant, but about the strength of a trust rooted in God’s faithfulness. While fear paralyzes an entire army, David steps...
-
God Sees the Heart
What if the very place you feel overlooked is the place where God is doing His deepest work? In 1 Samuel 16 we are invited into a quiet moment in Bethlehem where God passes over the obvious choices and sets His heart on a shepherd no one expected. This opening message reminds us that God sees...
-
Sozo
What if healing is more than getting better and salvation is more than going to heaven? In Mark 5, we meet a woman whose life was marked by twelve years of chronic brokenness, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually, until one desperate act of faith brought her face to face with Jesus....
-
The Greatest Story Ever Told, Volume 5: Emmanuel on the Road
Every story Jesus told revealed a glimpse of His heart, but this one reveals His very mission. The parable of the Good Samaritan is not just a moral lesson about kindness; it is the story of Christmas itself. We are the ones left wounded on the side of the road, and Jesus is the One who comes…
more -
The Greatest Story Ever Told, Volume 4: Incarnational Love
Love is never content to stay on the other side of the road. In Jesus’ story, a Samaritan sees a wounded stranger and moves toward him with compassion that costs something. He binds the man’s wounds, lifts him up, and pays the price for his recovery. That is the kind of love Advent calls us to...
-
The Greatest Story Ever Told, Volume 3: A House of Peace
Every traveler longs for a place to rest during a difficult journey. For the wounded man, that place was an inn: a space for comfort, care, and peace. In the story Jesus told, the innkeeper quietly receives the broken stranger and tends to his healing. What if that is what the church is meant to...
-
The Greatest Story Ever Told, Volume 2: The Day Religion Passed By
In this Advent season when heaven came close to earth, how often do we still keep our distance? The priest and the Levite both saw the wounded man but kept their distance. They hurried past, too busy or too proud to stop. They didn’t cross the road or cross their prejudices, barriers, or stigmas…
more -
The Greatest Story Ever Told, Volume 1: Hope for the Broken
The road from Jerusalem to Jericho was steep, dangerous, and lonely. In Jesus’ story, a man lies beaten and half-dead on that road, stripped of dignity and left with nothing but fading breath and a desperate hope that someone might stop. That’s our story too. Humanity lies wounded by sin and...
-
Made to Connect with God
Why does one person feel closest to God in nature while another thrives in study or service? God has given His people different pathways to connect with Him, and each one is sacred. Some draw near through creation, others through celebration, others through stillness, service, or study. The...

Made for a Redemptive Story
