Alpha Weekend Group Guide
April 7, 2024

Ice breaker:
What was the highlight of your Easter?

Passage:
Jude 1:22
Colossians 4:2-6
John 9:25
1 Peter 3:15

Sermon/Alpha Acronym:
B- Begin with Prayer
L- Listen
E- Eat
S- Serve
S- Story

Discussion Questions:
1) Did anything stick out to you from the message, or did you have any questions?
2) Jude 1:22 talked about being merciful to people who doubt. How does mercy help someone process their doubts. What happens if we respond with something like shame or judgement?
3) Have you ever expressed doubts or questions about your faith to someone? Were those experiences positive or negative? What would have made them better or worse?
4) Why is there an instinct to respond negatively to someone’s doubts or questions? Does it reveal any insecurity in us? What should we do instead?
5) What sticks out to you about the Alpha Acronym BLESS? What can it teach us about sharing our faith in our regular life?
6) Wolfgang shared this quote, “Being listened to is so close to being loved that most people can’t tell the difference.” How does that quote hit you? What does it teach us about loving the people God places in our life?
7) Is there anyone you know who would benefit from Alpha? Spend some time praying for an opportunity to invite them.

Pray:
Go around and share prayer requests and close the time by praying for one another.
