Eye opener
Thank you soo much for this opportunity to be able to learn about kids ministry what is all about and needed. I really learnt alot and enjoyed it.
To be able to learn the language of theology has been very helpful and I'm grateful for it.
The intimacy of the Godhead three in one!
Complicated theme to understand but I think it was covered well, so that you have to really think about how all three parts of the Godhead have their different characteristics but so many of them are same or overlap but all are working together for the Glory of God to be seen throughout the earth.
Always good to have a refresher, and never too late to learn some extras.
My favorite was The rise of Pentecostalism, Key Pentecostal figures.
We will finish this race, well!
This was a bit of blah blah, but it did encourage me to not give up and to pursue finishing the race, well. To be in pursuit of what matters, which is Jesus Chris, and make a decisive choice in what I am chasing after. Thank you.
Directive and informative!
Directive and informative. I learnt I am not strong in this area, but that is ok, I have learnt I still can bring about a Ministry team to help to cover areas of weaknesses, and in doing so, bless others.
Realistic and true to form!
Part 1 was a very realistic account of organisational leadership in Christian Ministry, although this is not my strength area, I valued the information, and I encourage anyone to take this course to understand the depth of Christ’s love and how to outwork that effectively on Mission.
I don't like it, I love it!
This course helped me to seek Jesus Christ deeper and tune into His plan, direction for me. I have now got Vision, Mission, Plan and Purpose in my heart and I declare I am unstoppable for the pursuit of God and things that Jesus Christ wants me to do.
Ministry expert on the rise!
Part 2 takes you further in developing your Ministry expertise and how you approach yourself and your team and how to behave using sound biblical principles. If you are not managing a team, yet, this course teaches you how!
Challenging but meaty!
This part 1 is definitely tough to get through, but hang in there, you will see personal growth and biblical fruit as you work through the sections.
Wow, jammed packed Part 2!
This part goes even deeper than part 1, you gain Biblical insight and learn the deep mystery of Christ’s purpose and in how His Kingdom Ministry operates.
A lot jammed packed in Part 1!
Don’t be timid, continue the journey, this is where the essential learning begins. This was jam packed with good stuff! If you are a person who loves to grow deeper in the knowledge of how Kingdom Ministry works, and God’s purpose on earth, individually and collectively, this program is for you!
Bold and scary to begin, look above!
God’s call your response is about looking within and attuning your heart to Christ’s heart. This is a good steppingstone to other essentials, understanding your call is paramount to success in Kingdom Ministry. Although it is scary to begin, look above, to Jesus and He will direct your path.
Intense journey of learning but essential Biblically
The whole program of this Certification of Personal and Teams Leadership, took me upon an intense journey towards Christian growth and maturity and into the Rhema of Godly leadership and principles. As a result, I have sharpened my Christian disciplines, such as prayer, reading of the word, worship, partaking in Holy Communion and other such pursuits. I have set goals and plans of which are attuned to Spiritual Discernment and my prayer has matured to a new level and anointing in Jesus. I have a greater understanding of how the Kingdom Ministry works on earth and how the Bride of Christ fits in Jesus’ plan for the whole of mankind.
Testimonial: Impact of Axx
I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to share my testimony about the impact of Axx on my life. Through this experience, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of sharing God’s love with others, particularly through chaplaincy and pastoral care. I’m grateful for the well-structured course and the exceptional teaching style of the instructor, which made the lessons engaging and easy to understand. Thank you for providing a platform for serving communities and spreading love.
No frills, no fluff, basic sound biblical principles, thank you!!!
Simply good!!!
This series enabled me to reach a new level in Christ and to dare to walk boldly with the Holy Spirit. It offered insight and direction to how to walk effectively in ministry and with fellow believers and non-believers. I feel encouraged to work with others, well, as I now have the biblical tools to do what matters in Christ, thank you.
It is directive and with no fluffy talk!!!
This series hits the deep truth of ministry engagement, particularly within a leadership and management context. It is directive and contains no fluffy talk. Thank you.
Helped me understand Gods word more fully
My understanding of the scriptures and how to apply it to my own life has been fantastic.I have really enjoyed my study and the teaching and very happy that I did the course.
High marks for being the best subject in the course...so far!
Class enjoyed learning more about how to analyse context, culture, etc.
Andrew’s examples (e.g. the donuts, coffee, etc) were extremely entertaining and amusing AND helpful! Made us want to have donuts and coffee!
The concept of Israel as God's chosen people is a foundational tenet in Judaism and has significant implications in Christian theology. This idea is deeply rooted in biblical texts, particularly in Deuteronomy, where YHWH (God) selects Israel to be a holy (kadosh) and treasured (segulah) people. This choice is not presented as an act of favoritism, but rather as a designation for a specific purpose that extends to all nations. Israel's chosen Ness is primarily understood as a divine calling to fulfill a unique mission rather than an exclusive privilege. This mission involves being a "light to the nations," a "kingdom of priests," and the lineage through which the Messiah would come . The Hebrew Bible frequently portrays God as choosing individuals and groups. While the exact phrase "the chosen people" is not explicitly found in the Bible, the verb root ב.ח.ר, meaning "to choose," is consistently used to describe YHWH's relationship with Israel. Deuteronomy's Formulation: Deuteronomy 7:6 states, "For you are a people kadosh to YHWH your God: of all the peoples on earth YHWH your God chose you to be His segulah people” This passage highlights two key terms: Kadosh (Holy): This term signifies being "set apart" or consecrated to YHWH. It implies that Israel is distinct and has a unique relationship with God, which necessitates adherence to His commandments Deuteronomy 14:21 and 14:1-2 illustrate this by prohibiting certain behaviors for Israelites that might be acceptable among other nations, precisely because they are a kadosh people
For ancient Israel, the reception of the Law at Mount Sinai was a foundational event, marking their unique covenant relationship with God. Far from being a burden, the Torah (Law) was presented as a gift, a manifestation of God’s special favor and guidance for His chosen people The Deuteronomic tradition, in particular, emphasizes this privilege. Deuteronomy 4:5-8 states, “See, I have taught you decrees and laws as the Lord my God commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering to possess. Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we call to him? And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws as all this body of laws I am setting before you today?” This passage clearly articulates the idea that the Law was a source of national identity, wisdom, and a testament to God’s unique presence among them.
The Law provided a comprehensive framework for life, encompassing moral, civil, and ceremonial aspects. It distinguished Israel from surrounding nations, whose legal systems often reflected polytheistic beliefs and social injustices. The Mosaic Law, with its emphasis on justice, care for the vulnerable (widows, orphans, foreigners), and the sanctity of life, stood in stark contrast to the often brutal and arbitrary laws of other ancient Near Eastern societies. For instance, the Code of Hammurabi, while advanced for its time, often prescribed different penalties based on social status, whereas the Mosaic Law generally applied equally to all Israelites, reflecting a more egalitarian ideal.
Furthermore, the Law was not merely a set of rules but a means of maintaining a holy relationship with God. Obedience to the Law was directly linked to blessings and prosperity in the land God had promised them. Disobedience, conversely, led to curses and exile, as detailed in Deuteronomy 28. This direct correlation between adherence to the Law and divine favor underscored its privileged status. The Psalms frequently express joy and delight in the Law, viewing it as a source of life, wisdom, and guidance, rather than an oppressive weight. Psalm 119, for example, is an extended meditation on the beauty and benefit of God’s statutes, precepts, and decrees. The prophets, while often chastising Israel for their failure to uphold the Law, never questioned its inherent goodness or its status as a divine gift. They called for a return to the covenant, emphasizing that the problem lay not with the Law itself, but with the people’s hardened hearts.
The concept of law as a privilege, rather than a burden, holds profound implications for my own life and ministry, particularly in the context of serving and obeying God.
Firstly, it transforms the perception of God’s commands from restrictive obligations into opportunities for flourishing and deeper relationship. When I view God’s moral and ethical guidelines, as revealed in scripture, not as arbitrary rules but as expressions of His perfect wisdom and love, they become a pathway to a more meaningful and purposeful existence. For example, the command to love my neighbor as myself is not a burden, but a privilege that fosters healthy communities and reflects God’s character. Similarly, the call to honesty and integrity in all dealings is not a limitation, but a foundation for trust and respect, both personally and professionally.
Secondly, this perspective fosters a spirit of gratitude and joy in obedience. Instead of grudgingly following rules, I can embrace obedience as a response to God’s grace and a demonstration of my love for Him. This aligns with Jesus’ teaching: “If you love me, keep my commands.” The privilege of serving God, whether through direct ministry or in my daily vocation, becomes a source of immense satisfaction. It means that my work, whatever it may be, can be consecrated to a higher purpose, contributing to God’s kingdom and reflecting His values in the world. This transforms mundane tasks into acts of worship and service.
Thirdly, it highlights the distinctiveness and transformative power of a life lived in accordance with God’s will. Just as ancient Israel’s laws set them apart, living by God’s principles in a world often driven by self-interest and fleeting desires can make a profound impact. This is particularly relevant in ministry, where demonstrating Christ-like character and adhering to biblical ethics can be a powerful witness to others. The privilege of serving God means being entrusted with the message of hope and reconciliation, and living a life that authenticates that message. This includes upholding ethical standards in leadership, demonstrating compassion to those in need, and speaking truth with love, all of which are expressions of God’s “law” for His people today.
Finally, understanding God’s “law” as a privilege encourages a continual pursuit of His wisdom and guidance. It moves beyond a minimalist approach to obedience (“what’s the least I can do?”) to a desire to fully understand and embody His will. This involves diligent study of scripture, prayer, and seeking the counsel of wise mentors. The privilege of serving God is not just about doing tasks, but about becoming more like Him, allowing His character to be formed within me through the ongoing process of
Pastoral care
Even though I have been providing pastoral care with a variety of people, this has opened my eyes to how to do it more effectively.
Informative, Interesting and Inspiring.
I am throughly enjoying the course on the ‘Person & Work of the Holy Spirit’. The course has is interesting and has presented many perspectives that I had not previously considered.
Pastral Care
This unit has been so inspiring. Learning about myself more and how to work alongside others in a team and manage situations that sometimes may be difficult. Realising that we are all wired differently with a specific skill set and giftings makes doing life an interesting mix. Understanding expectations, communication styles and behaviour patterns is instrumental in leading a church and working in teams. I have been fascinated in knowing more about myself and why I behave the way I do. Knowing that I can get alongside others and show care and concern to help them in their time of need, is what we are called to do.
A matrix of practical relevant Biblical Wisdom!!!
This is truly a fabulous collection of solid material based on an overview of collective organisational ministry goodies, that includes, informative Biblical insight into accountability, ministry, organisational management and oversight, money concepts and budgeting matters, and further knowledge that is grounded on practical and contemporary Biblical Wisdom. Thank you.
All good
Very concise and informative.
So much insight
Completing this course has given me so much more insight into the role of Community Chaplaincy. It’s opened my eyes to the role and has given me a burning desire, deep within my soul to peruse this pathway. As I grow in love for, knowledge of and walk closer with Jesus, I can see how I may be able to bring and share this same opportunity to know and love Jesus to others.
Practical tools to benefit your accountability when ministering to others
I don’t generally keep diaries, so the information to help keep you safe and for accountability, while ministering to others especially if of a more sensitive issues or just for any conversation, informative and very interesting to learn and is something I wish to develop further.
Pastoral care certificate
Enjoyed course
Introduction to Biblical Narrative
I found this subject very interesting. It was a lot to try to take in in the time. but it had made me want to study the Bible Indepth, more than I am already doing.
A healthy Godly balanced pace set on the firm foundation of Christ Jesus, is key for longevity!!!
I have found this series very confronting, but necessary for healthy personal Godly growth. The information provided helped me move from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, and locking in a longevity Kingdom Vision and a focus on long-term mission and ministry, is paramount to Biblical success. I have learnt that to develop a humble character and develop a healthy Godly balanced pace set on the firm foundation of Christ Jesus, is key for longevity. Thank you.
Rhetorical analysis
The exegetical method
Wonderful program!
Amazed by this program!
All of the lessons were very easy to understand and practical, I really appreciate the “real life” counseling conversations to give an idea of how concepts would work between two people in an actual session. This is an incredible program and will be telling others!!!
Amazing!
I am finding this curriculum to be very helpful in my current role supporting others and hope to continue to learn and grow so that I can be better at it.
Everything and more
Many hands made for one truly inspiring unit
I really enjoyed this unit of work. Mainly due to the variety of speakers each chosen I assume ffrom their chosen field of work to deliver the content. Also the touch of interviewing guest speakers to lend their personal insight. This demonstrated that theology is a complex study and requires many experts with different insight to deliver within their area of knowledge. I also particularly like the sessions that related it to our everyday lives as Christians like talking to non-christians and when our prayers aren’t answered. Thanks so much!
not impressed
the Assignments is not covered off in the videos accurately or deeply enough. the unit barely touches on the subject matter and i feel only brushes the surface of biblical narrative.
Mixed Feelings.
I have mixed feelings about this unit. Some books I enjoyed learning more about the Old Testament and other’s not so much. I suppose I am really a New Testament person.
Learning of God daily
Having completed the module “Theology of Humanity” it’s exciting and waiting to commence the next module “Ministry in the Spirit”. My understanding and knowledge about the things of God is daily increasing. It seems like there’s never ending of learning of the scriptures which is inspiring and transforming my life in every aspect. What we learn here is truly preparing us to share the Word with non-believers more effectively.
There were two topics in which I was elvated to another level of understanding in the more practical sense. The topics were “Suffering & Forgiveness” and “Women in Ministry”. I thank God and Axx Bible College Team for your time and effort committed and for this opportunity you have given us.
Perspective
My perspective of biblical verses, ideologies and beliefs has changed and is slowly transforming as i delve deeper into the word.
Gods love for creation
The course was very informative on the church and creation which I like
Yes the church should accept and love any person from different ethnic backgrounds
The presenter was clear and we were able to understand the whole section easily
Learning about God never ends
I am so delighted to have learnt the subject “Theology of Humanity” which consists of various important topics. In the process of learning the very important topic of “Suffering & Forgiveness” I was elevated to another level of understanding what true forgiveness is. While Jesus has already accomplished His mission on the cross there is no need for us to hold grudges against any human being but to ignore their weaknesses and love them as Christ loves you. This topic has touched my heart and soul and is well understood and waiting for me to have any opportunity to minister to people in this area.
The other question I always had was about “Women in Ministry”. After having leaned about this topic my perception is now completely changed. I am very blessed to have this opportunity and thanking the Lord for giving me the desire, courage and wisdom to follow this Bible course.
Highly practical!
Highly practical in providing effective tools for self evaluation and enabling performance driven goals to be successful.
Refresher and reminder
very interesting to see all subjects from different view points as opposed to one dimensional view.
Doing Good and practicing this is essential in our day to day walk with Christ.
I have been trying to do this with God in my walk this year to develop in this area, I ask God to show me who he wants me to minister to today or send someone who needs to hear from you. Quite often He doe’s and it has been happening in various ways. I have been excited to explore this in more detail as I fundamentally think it will help in my daily walk with doing God’s will, but for personal growth and development as well as expanding my ability to outreach to many. Thank you for your ability to share about purposing / activating this in study and teaching format.
My Review of thekKuestions art of listening
This course really pointed out to me the type of listener that I’ve been in the past and how I can become better. I was always the one that was an analyst as well as an interrupted. I was always thinking of what I wS going to say in return and how I could fix them instead of really being engaged and listening to what was being said .By asking questions about their feelings really helped me to be a better listener
The video was excellent in posting this out
Listening is a Powerful tool.
I really enjoy the Art of Listening. l find it joy and loving. Just sitting down and listening to people during a funreal services or someone going through health issues or illness, Just giving myself to listening, it gives hope to someone and they can open up because we not open but listening to them.
Scripture talks alot about listening and God most of the times, trying to get the message to His people but, people hear but never listen and ended up in disaster, or hands of the enemies, because people hear but not listening.
I experence alot back in Papua New Guinea, where we havea death, or someone is going through health issues or you attended to customary obligions, and through those experiences l learn a lot by being there and listen to those stories. and l realise that, once we begings to seat with them and listen to their stories or ask two or three open end questions like what happens or how can we help sort out this, or how can l help, what can l do for you, they will pour their hearts out. Listening can heal or make a lot of different in their lives as well.
