Alpha is a series of interactive sessions that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith. No pressure. No follow up. No charge. Got Questions About Life? #TryAlpha alphausa.org
ALPHA is life changing- God has used it to transform mine and many others...don't be afraid- God is Good and His way is love. Try it- at the very least you will walk away with some great new friends and perhaps a new take on Christianity- no question or comment is too stupid or hostile...bring it! You are welcome here!
We took the Alpha course. It was wonderful. We made dear friends. I have been a practicing Catholic all my life. My husband is Episcopal. This was wonderfully deep and Lovely experience.
If the world embraces it then it has missed the mark, May as well watch Joel Osteen. John 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
Rather one-sided. The Great Commission and John 3:16 shows that Jesus expects success in mission. If your mission is successful such that they become jealous then you are on the right track. If no one is listening it means you did not intend to help anyone. You have buried your talent and will surely pay on Judgment Day
You are absolutely right.. We will be hated and persecuted if we follow Him completely. The world will hate us. There is no fence sitting with Christ. You are either with him or not.
Have you thought about Quakers? Christian ethical tradition, very big on social responsibility, really chill with diverse beliefs and you don't have to accept any dogma. I don't believe in God but I've learned so much from my Quaker group!
This promo for Alpha sums up what Alpha is about, 'getting more out of life'. Well, that isn't what the Gospel is about. As per other Alpha promos - no sin, no repentance, no cross, no salvation.
I envision modern religion evolving/progressing into non-dogmatic Humanist Philosophy Social Clubs. I wonder if ALPHA might be this 1st step up this path.
To breed and make more dinosaurs, same as with humans, but humans can do extra things to give meaning such as helping others or exploring or sports etc etc.
I was a Christian but I am no longer convinced and so am unable to believe in the supernatural. The Alpha course did not help me at all as all the way through is just the assumption is 'of course there is a god' which is the of course just an assumption.
Alpha should change it's name to Protestantism 101. This is for people who are just starting to get into Protestantism. As someone whose been a Catholic Christian for years, it was far too basic and there were things missing that Protestantism often leaves out. I wouldn't even recommend it to someone who was starting off in Catholic Christianity because it won't provide a clear picture or someone whose been Protestant for years because it may just be things they know already. It really didn't offer anything my church and looking up conversion stories on youtube doesn't already offer me. I also attended the Christlife series and that was WAY better than this.
Im an Atheist and would like to join a group or organisation that does good in the community.Am i allowed to do this without the belief in a supernatural entity.
Please could Alpha USA upload this video to Vimeo?? I can't download it easily from You Tube and I want to show it to pastors who are enquiring. If this could be done soon I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
As an agnostic Unitarian about to go into an Alpha, I'm hopeful that my dear friend will be respectful and of course, non-confrontational. That's the beauty of living in a religiously-harmonious, culturally-diverse community.
Well, a real Christian is one that saw their life as exceedingly sinful and turned from God's wrath and the slavery of sin to the Lord Jesus Christ (ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment), so this tells me these people are still in their sins and damned before a Holy and just God. This is an idolatrous Jesus to enhance your life, not the Lord Jesus, who saves us from God's wrath as Romans 5 states. The course has nothing about repentance of sins; having transgressed His laws Romans 3, and need to call out to God to save you. This is a false Gospel.
You are absolutely correct. This is a social "gospel" designed to comfort people in their current sinful state. There is absolutely no concern for sin and repentance, the depravity of mankind, or the righteousness of God. It is an abomination.
@@putzbaby5396 its ok... this is a way to spread the gospel ... you can’t just go up to someone and say, ‘repent and believe in Jesus’ ... it wasn’t until I spent twenty years learning about Christianity and taking a Christian worldview class and constant searching that I finally said ‘yes’ to Jesus fully and truly repented... besides it’s better to introduce people and teach them about the religion ... I know a lot of people who are Christians but I knew way more about their religion when I considered myself agnostic... also, I remember going to church before I knew what they were talking about... now I know and I can go to churches and listen to sermons of all kinds and I understand what they are talking
Blessings everyone GREAT WATCH HERE FOR EVERYONE "FROM EVOLUTIONIST TO CREATIONIST" BY PASTOR /PROFESSOR WALTER VEITH AND MARTIN SMITH YOU TUBE POWERFUL POWERFUL WATCH FROM SOUTH AFRICA ENJOY 💯🙏🏾😃❤️
....yet the bottom line evangelical Christianity teaches is that unless you accept Christ as Lord you will suffer in Hell for eternity. Best keep that quiet eh?
@comprandom1748 thats a reality every individual has to face and religious societies arent exempt from this, neither you, neither me. The world does this unto itself all the time with their TV "programs" and "ministry of truth" evening news and governments to govern our mentality and hollywood and entertainment. Are we not being fully honest with ourselves in grasping the reality of this language? Gods real, that's a fact- now the rest is up to you 😅 God bless
