You are invited to try ALIVE: a five-part course exploring how encountering the risen Jesus meets our needs for love, hope, peace, freedom, and purpose.
Through journeying with others, you can discover what the Bible says happened when people met Jesus after his resurrection, and how it’s still changing lives today!
So what's in the ALIVE Course?
Each session of ALIVE involves watching a 15-18 minute episode of the ALIVE film series. Every episode involves hearing from the Bible, from people with expertise in each episode’s focal topic, and from people with modern-day stories of encountering the risen Jesus and experiencing His life-transforming power. Everyone on the ALIVE course is part of a small group, and we’ll always have time to reflect on the film series episode, ask questions, and talk about how it relates to our lives. You can say as much or as little as you like to during these times – there really is no pressure!

All About ALIVE
ALIVE Session One: Transformed by Love
Through exploring Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Jesus (John 20:1-18), we’ll reflect on how it’s possible to live without a sense of rejection, insecurity or a lack of self-worth, instead knowing at a deep level what it means to be completely and unconditionally loved.
ALIVE Session Two: Surprised by Hope
Through exploring the two followers’ encounter with the risen Jesus on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-16), we’ll consider how it’s possible to no longer be weighed down by past disappointments, instead being filled with a new sense of hope that lasts.
ALIVE Session Three: Filled with Peace
Through exploring Thomas and the disciples’ upper room encounter with the risen Jesus (John 20:19-21, 24-29), we’ll reflect on how it’s possible to no longer be overwhelmed with fear and anxiety, but instead how we can live with a true and deep sense of peace.
ALIVE Session Four: Living in Freedom
Through exploring Peter’s breakfast on the beach encounter with the risen Jesus (John 21), we’ll see how, instead of being burdened by guilt, shame and failure, it’s possible to live with a new sense of freedom.
ALIVE Session Five: Fulfilling our Purpose
Through exploring Saul / Paul’s Damascus Road encounter with the risen Jesus (Acts 9:1-18), we’ll unpack how instead of living without a real and clear sense of meaning, we can find and fulfil our true purpose in life.
