How does God guide us?

In life, we all face decisions, big or small. Making decisions can be challenging with the vast array of choices we face every day. We all need guidance. And can that guidance come from God? And if God does guide us, how does He do it? That's the topic of week's Alpha.

Who is the Holy Spirit?

Who is the Holy Spirit? This is a great question, especially as Christians believe that He is as much part of the Trinity as God the Father and Jesus, yet He is also the least understood part of the Trinity. Today, John will kick start a two-part mini-series in our Alpha Course, looking at the Holy Spirit.

How can I make the most of the rest of my life?

How do I resist evil?

Is evil real? In the Lord’s prayer, what does it mean when it says, ‘Deliver us from Evil’? The Bible talks a lot about good and evil, and intuitively we know that there is a lot of evil in the world. This week Dave looks at the topic of evil and how to resist it.

How and why I should tell others

Evangelism is sharing our Christian faith, but should we do that? Should we talk about our Christian faith? Should we be prepared to answer questions that people have? And what about those Christians that are too insensitive, too brash, too clumsy? What if you are not comfortable sharing your faith? This week we tackle talking to others about the Christian faith.

Does God Heal Today?

When you read the Gospels and see Jesus' life, you can't help but notice that there are many miracles following him - especially healings. But was that for just then, or does God still heal today? Anna tackles this topic and shares stories from people who have experienced God's healing and those who haven’t yet found healing.

What about the church?

In our final week of working through the Online Alpha Course, we ask the big question - what about the church? Is it still relevant, or is it just an outdated idea? What is the purpose of the church? And should I attend church? This week Tony Uddin, a Pastor from the East End of London, starts to take a deep dive into this crucial topic.
