HellO!
I am participating in a church course entitled the alpha course. It was started by a ex-lawyer turned Christian in an English Church in Brompton.
The course I attend is held down the road at a community church. The people there are very nice. We are given a meal, and then afterwards we watch a DVD about a talk with Nicky Gumbel (the guy who started the course). After the meal we raise any questions to discuss.
I'll outline here the topics covered: Christianity: Boring, Untrue and Irrelevant?
Who Is Jesus?
Why Did Jesus Die?
How Can I be Sure Of My Faith?
Why and How Should I Read the Bible? (the session I will be doing this evening)
Why and How do I Pray?
How Does God Guide Us?
Who Is the Holy Spirit?
What Does the Holy Spirit Do?
How Can I Be Filled With the Spirit?
How Can I Resist Evil?
Why and How Should We Tell Others?
Does God Heal Today?
What About the Church?
How Can I Make the Most of the Rest of My Life?
These are all on progressive weeks, with the sessions about the holy spirit on a weekend away at Brompton.
I will be glad to share the notes I took during the sessions, so I will include them in a later post
Peace and Love in faith - Jacques
