The Alpha Course Manual

Exploring Life Questions In A Safe Inviting Environment

Happy Thanksgiving to my U.S.A viewers. Thankful that there are creative ways to share the "Good News" !Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone’s welcome. It runs online, in cafés, churches, universities, homes—you name it. No two Alphas look the same, but generally they have three key things in common: hospitality, a talk and good conversation.

Perspectives on the World Christian Movement: 2022

Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. God has a “world-sized” role for every Christian in His global purpose. Whether people go to distant countries or stay at home is a secondary issue. The primary issue is what most people are hungry to discover: vision to live a life of purpose. Discovering that vision makes this course valuable, and perhaps crucial, for any Christian.

Mission Trips

"In 1966 we made our unforgettable trip to the then remote desert of the Baja Peninsula. There, in the dark of night, we came upon some old uninhabited adobe ruins. We heard the voices of little children where there were  no children. God gave us a vision of a home for children, a great harvest of souls for the kingdom of God, and a Bible institute like the one I attended as a young woman."

Stuart Briscoe’s Christian Perspective on Improving with Age

Stuart Brisccoe along with his wife, Jill, reminds us that our time on earth is short and whatever time we have left we can improve with age, so that when we meet the LORD we will hear, "Well done, My good and faithful servant." He presents a plan for us on how to number our remaining days because God's purpose for us is not finished. (Eph:2:10)
Let us praise the LORD together, and exalt His name.

Worship Songs from Our Heart to God’s Heart

Our response to God’s mercy and grace results in a radical reorientation of our lives around Jesus Christ and what He has done for us. A message from Alliance Bible Church which led me to write this post! This radical reorientation of our lives results in worship and praise. Worship goes deeper than praise. It is something that comes from the spirit. It is often said that it is an attitude or state of the heart. In the Bible, Jesus spoke about worship in John 4 verse 23 Worship songs are us speaking directly to God, NOT telling or reciting good spiritual truth about God in song… which can also be a part of a good worship service.
It’s Going To Be A Great Day!

It’s Going To Be A Great Day!

Max Lucado's and Os Guinness' writings emphasize the unique role and purpose each individual has in life through the harmony of faith, vision, and service, aligning one's actions with God's call. Beginning the day dedicated to God's will ensures strength and guidance. Daily devotion and trust in God instill stability, with the present moment holding the seeds of tomorrow's potential. Facing challenges with God's presence overcomes fear, essential for courageous Christian living.

It’s Going To Be A Great Day!

Father, as I begin this day I commit it to You. I lay all things at Your feet. I place all things into Your hands. I move forward in faith, believing that You go before me. I receive from You -Your strength, Your enabling, and Your anointing. I embrace Your love, Your mercy, and Your grace.

You’re 70, You’re Beautiful And You’re Mine

The card read “For My Beautiful Wife-A Birthday Wish Filled With Love.” A lovely pink card with an equally lovely sentiment. I was grateful for his kindness because at this age I rarely feel beautiful. That evening I was surprised to find another envelope inscribed “Another Card” (typical of my husband’s humor). When I opened it, I saw “You’re 70” with the 70 emblazoned in shiny red numbers—seven inches high!
Let There Be Water

Israel’s Solution For A Water-Starved World.

No decision made by the Zionist pioneers and the young State of Israel has had a greater impact on Israel's water culture than the decision to make water the common property of all. Unlike in the US, where water is a personal property right, in Israel all water ownership and usage is controlled by the government acting in the interest of the people as a whole. Available water is then allocated according to what is seen as the best use. Israel's water system may be the most successful example of socialism in practice anywhere in the world today.
He Restsores My Soul

Good to store some Joyful Songs in our Heart!

Because Jesus lives we can face tomorrow. We are reminded that Christ’s purpose in coming would help us face tomorrow, with all the uncertainty that it brings, especially at this time of the Covid-19 crisis, post election and beginning of a new year and all its uncertainty. We each have our own personal trials....be they health concerns, job losses, family relationships and maybe more.
