Alpha New Zealand

This DVD is a resource designed for use in a small group setting, and is may be accompanied by a guest manual (1182). It's ideal for use as a follow up course to Alpha, or with a small group for new Christians. Each talk can be viewed in its entirety or in convenient segments.

The DVD contains six talks given by Nicky Gumbel at Holy Trinity Brompton that are based on Jesus' radical teaching given in the Sermon on the Mount, and suggests ways in which we can apply this teaching in our own lives.

Series One features Nicky Gumbel speaking on the following topics:

• How to find the secret of happiness: Nicky examines our modern day ideas of happiness and shows how true happiness comes from a right relationship with God.
  
  
  
  
• How to change the world around you: He challenges us to transform the world around us by re-examining our relationships with others.
  
  
  
  
• How to understand the Old Testament: He explains why the Old Testament is not only relevant to our lives as Christians, but also essential to our understanding of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
  
  
  
  
• How to handle anger: He suggests ways in which we can successfully deal with anger. What does the Bible say about anger; is it ever justified; and how can we control it?
  
  
  
  
• How to approach sex in the 21st century: He looks at the biblical framework for sex; modern day attitudes towards sex; and why as Christians we are called to be radical in the way we live our lives.
  
  
  
  
• How to respond to divorce: He examines the painful subject of relationship breakdown and draws on the fact that Jesus, when asked about divorce, replied by discussing marriage.

This DVD is the first in the Challenging Lifestyle DVD set - the series which includes a total of 18 talks. You can order series 2 & 3 to complete the series or use this DVD as a stand alone product.
