ALPHA-BET encourages you to take action with your life and to seek a personal relationship with Jesus.
We hope you find something useful in this list……………
God said “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End”
Revelation 22:13
A – Alpha – The Alpha course is an introduction to Christianity, usually over 10 weeks . Each week you will get a free meal , a talk and a chance to ask as many questions as you like . More than 20 million people have attended the course to date, including Craig the founder of this website – There will be a course local to you, so give it a try!
B – Bible – The biggest selling book in history ! You can either pick up a bible at any major bookshop, local church or use an app like Bible Gateway that gives you reading plans, an audio bible, and a verse of the day to help you digest the 66 books that make up a bible.
C – Chosen – A multi-season TV series about the life and ministry of Jesus.
D – The Devil – is real and present in our lives Today. You only have to turn on the news to witness evil at play all around the world . By accepting Jesus in your life you can overcome sin. Read the book of Revelation for a biblical prophesy on the battle between good and evil ahead , ultimately with Jesus being victorious and you can be team Jesus.
E – Eternity – The Bible speaks a great deal of eternity in one context or another. It is because God is infinite (without end or limit) that He is described in the Bible as the eternal God. Our life is divided into past, present and future, but there is no such division in the life of God. God’s existence has been described as: ‘living in one indivisible present’. It does help to remember that time and history is finite, having a beginning and an end. When there is no universe (most agree that the universe had a beginning and will have an end) there will still be the indivisible present. It is because God is eternal that He can offer eternal life to creatures of time, you and me: ‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life’. John 3: 16.
F – Forgiveness – When someone hurts you it is hard to move on and forgive . The reality is that Jesus forgave you for ALL your sins . Until you forgive those who have hurt you , the pain will follow you around and never let go . Forgiveness is the key to freedom . A great example of this is a lady called Joyce Meyer who suffered abuse but she overcame the hurt with forgiveness . Check out Joyce’s story
G – God – Is in control all things . God said to Moses , “I AM “ – This signifies Gods self-existence , eternal omnipresent nature and is not bound by human limitations . John 3:16 states “ For God so loved the world , that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” . Check out more questions at GotQuestions.org
H – Holy Spirit – Jesus’ gift to all of us is The Holy Spirit which lives within us , guiding us on a Godly path to heaven and diverting us away from sin Who is the Holy Spirit? | GotQuestions.org
I – I AM! – Jesus declared several times in the bible “I AM” , meaning he is the answer to all things. Find out What did Jesus mean when He said “I AM”?
J – Jesus – Is the central figure in the bible . The son of God . His life , death on the cross and resurrection carried all our sins away . John 14 :6 says “I am the way and the truth and the life . No one comes to the Father except through me”. You can have a personal relationship with Jesus right now. Learn more about Jesus!
K – Kingdom – When Jesus was asked if He was a king, Jesus replied that His kingdom was not of this world , meaning his kingdom is to come . Presently, Jesus Christ is indeed a king ‘for He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.’ 1 Corinthians 15: 25. In the future every person who has ever lived on this earth will know that Jesus Christ is ‘King of kings and Lord of Lords’, a rule that is realised in principle on earth, but will not reach its culmination until the visible and glorious return of Jesus Christ.

O – Offerings – Giving back to the church is an expectation of God. Helping the poor, sick and needy. God loves a cheerful giver. Above all, offerings should be given with pure motives and an attitude of worship to God and service to the body of Christ. “Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver”. 2 Corinthians 9:7
P – Prayer – is a critical part of your daily walk with God. Offer prayers and thanks to God in everything you face. God has a plan for you so trust in him even when you don’t understand. Find a quiet space and pray to God. New to prayer? Find out how to pray!

R – Repent – Turn away from your old sinful ways and look to God. He will change your heart and mind and set you on a new path. There are many Bible teachings on repentance at GotQuestions.org
S – Sunday – The Sabbath and the day of rest declared by God. Genesis 2:1-3 states “By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing (creating the world) so on the seventh day he rested from all his work . Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy , because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done”. Sunday is a day for church community, coming together to hear gospel, worship together and prayer.
T – Testimonies – Listen to Christian testimonies of people who have overcome addiction once they let Jesus into their lives. If this website helps you we would love to hear your testimony so we can inspire others.
U – Unbelief – Jesus clearly taught that the prime sin was failing to accept that He was the true Messiah. This is seen in John 8: 24 ‘Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe I am He, you will die in your sins.’ The apostle John points out in his first letter: ‘He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself, he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.’ Unbelief is, therefore, the chief of all sins, especially for those who hear the Gospel and reject it.
V – Victory – The key to being victorious over sin is to seek a relationship with Jesus, starting Today! How can I have a relationship with Jesus?
W – Worship songs – The best spiritual medicine to fill up your spirit. There are 1000s of worship songs not advertised by mainstream media but still just as good if not better than most songs you will find in the corporate charts. Use Spotify to create a list of songs that you enjoy. Tune in to Gods love – Here are some examples.
X – eXalted – True greatness in the eyes of God is letting ourselves “become less and less” and Him “become “greater and greater” in our lives. It means becoming like Jesus, who stooped down to wash the disciples’ feet . If we voluntarily humble ourselves by avoiding the limelight and serving others, God will exalt us in His time. Matthew 18:3-4 states “Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”
Y – YouVersion app – Over 775 MILLION installs globally. This bible app offers a free Bible app, and a Bible app for kids too.
Z – Omega – Ok so it doesn’t start with Z 😊 But Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet, and means the end in the Bible. God is eternal so has no beginning or end; the beginning and the end refers to human life as we know it. He will complete everything but He will never end.
