Why should we tell other people about church, and how should we go about doing it? Pads Dolphin considers these questions in the penultimate session of our Autumn 2012 Alpha course.

When Jesus was on Earth he bought sight to the blind. But he didn't stop there. Jesus still brings sight to the blind today - even those who don't know that they are blind. Chris Everett speaks about his personal experience of Jesus opening his eyes to see him and how that has transformed his life forever.

The Jesus of the Bible was well know for his healing, but does He still heal today? Are there different types of healing that God does, perhaps that we don't always recognise? And how do we ask for healing, either for ourselves or for other people? Andrea Baker speaks from her experiences of healing from God as she takes us through these questions in the eighth week of our Autumn 2012 Alpha course.

In an uncertain world, the Bible tells us that we can have strength and hope by trusting in Jesus. But what does that actually mean? How can we do that? Indeed, how can we help each other do that?

We might not think much about the Devil, but according to the Bible he exists, and his tactics to harm us and put doubt in our hearts are very much in practice today. Join us for our 11th Alpha session, as David Horne takes through what the Bible says about evil, the Devil and how to defend ourselves against his attack.

On this Remebrance Sunday, Pads Dolphin reflects the sacrifices made by those before us to secure our safety and life. But not only do we look at the Armed Forces, but also stories of sacrifice for the sake of wider good throughout the Bible, from Jonah, to the disciples and Jesus' ultimate sacrifice of himself for our eternal safety and life.

We finish our Holy Spirit day by looking at how we can make the most of the rest of our lives. What should we live for? How should we stand out from the crowd?

In the last of our three talks about the Holy Spirit, Pads Dolphin looks at the very practical question of how to actually be filled with the Holy Spirit and what might be expect to happen when we are?

Having looked at who the Bible says the Holy Spirit is, Pads Dolphin considers the follow-up question, "What does the Holy Spirit do?" as we continue our look at the Holy Spirit as part of our Autumn 2012 Alpha course.

The first talk from the Holy Spirit day of our Autumn 2012 Alpha course at St. Matthew'ws. Pads Dolphin introduces us to the Holy Spirit, and who the Bible says He is.
