Session Plan
Admin
- Hospitality to be set up before we start
- Introduce any new guests, ask them how they came to be at Alpha. Pass around the registration list. Add any new names and contact details.
- Briefly mention the “Alpha Day” on Saturday 15th February. Tell them what happens.
- 4 videos, discussion groups, lunch and fun. It will be great, please mark the date on your calendar.
- Ask them, ‘Can anyone remember the name of the video from last week?’ (Answer: Who Is Jesus?)
- Remind them of some interesting points said in last week’s video/group discussion, for example, in the video:-
- Much of that historical evidence for Jesus’ life is from The Bible which is a collection of historical documents that can be trusted more than any other textural historical evidence from the far past. We can be sure of its accuracy, authenticity and integrity.
- Jesus was human and yet claimed to be The Son of God.
- Jesus fulfilled >300 prophecies (predictions of what will happen in the future) around His birth, life, death and resurrection.
- There is also a lot of evidence that supports that He did in fact raise from the dead. Which gives Christian’s hope for their own resurrection. There is hope beyond this life.
