Continuing with Alpha

This is crazy, but Alpha is really quite if not, still  very relevant in today's living!This evening's topic is about how to keep Faith....

Most,  if not all of us, people of faith, that is,....wear the Christian necklace around our necks...very prominently displayed  too, appearing high in enthusiasm, yet at the first sign of trouble or when the going gets tough...we wobble and allow emotions and feelings to cloud our minds and drive out Faith....the questioning starts....the resentment pours out.....Indeed Yrs Truly herself  went through such   high and lows occasionally,,...natural reactions..... . but scripture tells us to believe and not let feelings pull us into the quick sand of darkness...In moments of turmoil, turn to God..pray so that we remain on solid grounds, enveloped and uplifted by the grace of mercy.
Nicky Gumbel, he -sure has a very practical and very factual way of teaching us how to keep Faith..........turn to the Bible at all times and gather the facts from within....Jesus is real...very real, He is not an illusion and we have history to back us up... The Lord, He  came for sinners ;  He died for you and me....and He promises great things to those who believes and trust in Him..... 

Nicky Gumbel tells us  facts we already know as Christians  but interestingly, he has managed to create realistism ....telling us how practical the teachings of the Lord was and still is.....and that captures and hold the attention of his audience.  He applies it to everyday living...issuing an invitation to open the door of our hearts to the Lord, standing patiently outside and allow Him to come in......

This Autumn Rose looks forward to completing the Alpha sessions  with Nicky Gumbel. He represents the Lord in a very strong and engaging manner and we have alot to learn about evangelizing from him.  Sure, Autumn May, knows the facts ...but Nicky  adds fresh insights,  brought in more clarity , provoke deep reflections.....new understanding.....To top it all,  she has met some great people.....
