Alpha 8 – How Can I Resit Evil?

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.
  • Ask them, ‘Can anyone remember the name of the video from last week?’ (Answer: ‘How Does God Guide Us??’)
  • Remind them of some interesting points said in last week’s video/group discussion, for example, in the video:-
    • Toby – God is like an infinitely patient GPS. 
    • Nicky – God’s guidance
      1. The Bible (main way)
      2. The Holy Spirit (voice/gifts)
      3. Council of the Saints
      4. Guides our steps
      5. Common sense
    • God is the God of second chances.
    • God’s guidance should bring us to all eventually be like Jesus.
