Christians: Mad, Good or Bad?

There are many religions in the world but none of them are as interesting as Christianity. Many people call Christians mad because they cannot understand how you can believe in something or someone that you have never seen. What most people don’t understand is that you can have a relationship with the all knowing God and this is actually His only desire, so why are people not wanting to convert to Christianity? My conclusion is that they’re practically misinformed or simply don’t understand!

Do you want to know all about Christianity, Jesus, God and the Bible without the Bible bashing, preaching and the “Disciples” trying to convert you and make you feel guilty or condemned about all your sins and wrong doings? Well, there is a way to find out more and it’s all summed up in one word ALPHA!

The Alpha course is a 10-week course and it simply focuses on what you think about God, Jesus and the Bible. It’s easy and you feel relaxed and not tense with thoughts of fear about upcoming discussions and whether the message will relate to you and what you have done. The questions are easy and in the discussions you can be open and honest because there is no right or wrong answer, it is your opinion that counts the most and your thoughts actually matter.

If there are some unanswered questions or issues, the Bible has the answers. At Alpha you get to think about it yourself and have conversations which will never erupt or become uncontrollable in groups of friends, especially at an early age. Everybody says that Christianity is boring and for old people, but all I want to tell you is “ Join the A-Team” and you will see it is quite fun - Ashley
