Alpha 11 - How can I resist evil?

Our final Alpha session for Autumn 2012 looks at the role of the Church in Christian life. What actually is the church? What does the Bible say about meeting together with other believers?

Why should we tell other people about church, and how should we go about doing it? Pads Dolphin considers these questions in the penultimate session of our Autumn 2012 Alpha course.

The Jesus of the Bible was well know for his healing, but does He still heal today? Are there different types of healing that God does, perhaps that we don't always recognise? And how do we ask for healing, either for ourselves or for other people? Andrea Baker speaks from her experiences of healing from God as she takes us through these questions in the eighth week of our Autumn 2012 Alpha course.

We might not think much about the Devil, but according to the Bible he exists, and his tactics to harm us and put doubt in our hearts are very much in practice today. Join us for our 11th Alpha session, as David Horne takes through what the Bible says about evil, the Devil and how to defend ourselves against his attack.

Having looked at who the Bible says the Holy Spirit is, Pads Dolphin considers the follow-up question, "What does the Holy Spirit do?" as we continue our look at the Holy Spirit as part of our Autumn 2012 Alpha course.

The first talk from the Holy Spirit day of our Autumn 2012 Alpha course at St. Matthew'ws. Pads Dolphin introduces us to the Holy Spirit, and who the Bible says He is.

In the last of our three talks about the Holy Spirit, Pads Dolphin looks at the very practical question of how to actually be filled with the Holy Spirit and what might be expect to happen when we are?

We finish our Holy Spirit day by looking at how we can make the most of the rest of our lives. What should we live for? How should we stand out from the crowd?

Kirstie Dolphin leads us through the topic of how God guides us, during Week 6 of our Alpha course.

The Bible - it's not just an old book for old times. In fact, it has much to say about joy, peace, guidance, health and healing - all of which apply today as much as in the past. And what's more - it's directly from God. Hear Tracy Watkins tell us more about the Bible this talk from Week 5 of our Alpha course at St. Matthew's.
