Alpha

Well Alpha last week was great we had over 20 guests there all with different opinions and all attending for different reasons. The 1st talk is about who is Jesus and it was great to hear all the different views of the guests in the discussion. Its quite difficult to sit back and not say anything. As the idea of Alpha is for the Leaders and Helpers not to really say to much and to allow guests to give their views as if we started getting involved in the discussion it becomes more of a preach at the guests rather then an open discussion which is way Alpha works so well. I had to sit there with my lips firmly closed. The guests were confused by Nicki's comments about Jesus being the son of God and then later he says he is God. To a christian this is all explained in the trinity but if we had of sat there and gone full blown in to discussion about the trinity then that would have changed it into a preach. so I kinda had to encourage different guests to give their views on the subject and that seemed to be good.
Really looking forward to tomorrow night, my group are quite excited themselves.
