Alpha
When was the last time you had a really healthy conversation with someone about faith or religion?
Do you grow more in your faith by listening to a superb teacher or by listening to a superb teacher and then DISCUSSING it?
If you're looking for a fast paced, interactive journey to talk about faith issues and discuss religion in a relaxed, non-threatening manner, ALPHA IS FOR YOU! Whether you have a strong faith or are just beginning the expedition into Christianity, you will love being able to talk, really talk, about the not so basic topics that really matter in our beliefs!
This non-denominational, incredible course is perfect for inviting friends who will love the 10 thought-provoking weekly sessions! We'll have a relaxed, home cooked dinner together, followed by an entertaining faith topic video, then, we'll discuss our questions together in small groups. Some of the topics to be discussed include:
- What happens when we die?
- Why do bad things happen to good people?
- Does prayer really work?
- How does God guide us?
- Does evil exist?
- Who is the Holy Spirit and what does He do?
