Alpha at St. Matthew's St. Matthew's Church

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.

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?

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.
