Alpha Week 1: Is their more to life than this?
19.00 - 21.30

Show Details +

According to the internet search engine Ask Jeeves, the most unanswered question posted by internet search users is the question, “is there more to life than this?”

In truth, from time to time, many people reflect on this question as well as considering things like ; does my life have a purpose?; how do I find meaning in my life?; what happens when I die?  

In this thought provoking and humorous talk we will look at why Christians believe that a man called Jesus Christ is the answer to these questions.

Alpha Week 7: Why does God allow suffering?
19.00 - 21.30

Show Details +

One of the most fundamental objections many have to the Christian faith is the amount of suffering that we see all around us in the world today.  If a loving God exists why does he allow some of the most terrible tragedies, injustices and natural disasters that we read about daily in our newspapers?  How can God be aloof from the suffering of the human race?

This talk will try and provide some answers and perspectives on the Christian view of suffering highlighting that God may not be as detached from a world of pain as perhaps we first thought.

Alpha Week 8: What about the Church?
19.00 - 21.30

Show Details +

Can you be a Christian without going to Church?  Many people say they are believers in Jesus Christ but don’t belong to any form of Christian Church.  Does this matter? Is the church important or indeed relevant to people’s lives today or is simply too dull and remote to make any difference.
