This unit has helped reassure and confirm what I am already doing for God and is helped me to grow in being more effective in group ministry

This is jam packed with good stuff!

I have learnt in this teaching:

Planning

How to build and work towards a God given purpose, destiny, future, goal, vision, and mission, but most importantly, how to execute this mission, with others and as part of a God given team!…I thoroughly found this session useful in helping me to identify my Godly purpose and mission on earth, thank you!

This course was very informative. Very good overall.

I was able to have a more clear and deep understanding of God and the Trinity in both the Old and New Testament

Also scripture given to understand this concept will be very valuable to me when I am asked questions about the Trinity

Simply mind boggling, havent heard anything new in the lessons, things I have heard and read all my life since I have been a child.

So what’s new you ask? Revelation! I knew the words, I knew the references to some as well, and many verses I could finish by heart, what was really lacking was the revelation of what the spirit of God was really revealing to me at that point of time in my life, in my walk and on my journey.

My perspective, revelation and most importantly my reverence for the triune God has deepened, do i get it all? Absolutely not but on a far better footing than before i did the course.

This is a great reminder of things I have learnt over the years in serving and in ministry,

I personally think that the consistent emphasis on embracing the broader context of Biblical passages is particularly helpful in this unit. This is very helpful especially in Africa where most of the time, text overwrites context in sermons and even bible studies. Great unit for a good solid foundation in Scriptural studies and interpretation approaches.

The Church is bride of Christ, waiting for his second coming. While waiting, the Church should be commited in teaching out the world with Gospel of the Kingdom. Both leaders and members of the Church should be mission minded. The Church is built and strenghtened by edification, and motivated by soul winning, and prepared for the the great encounter with the Lord. As a part of the Church, I should concentrate on these three fold Principles.

May God bless the lecturer and the Axx Bible College staff.

This course has been more than an academic journey. It has been a life transforming journey. I am feeling like God placed AXX providentially. I feel ready to serve with humility and commitment. May God help me.

Longevity in Ministry is a result of taking a humble posture and communication with trustful people about our true self.

It’s a very informative course, I enjoyed it, hopefully you will enjoy it too.

Axx has been an incredible blessing in my life. The teachings have profoundly impacted and imparted me, giving me clarity and depth of understanding, leading to significant positive shifts in my perspective. It’s more than just teaching; it’s a transformative experience. Thanks very plenty

Sir, I say God bless Axx Bible College in Jesus name. Amen. Sir, I learnt that the gospel could be defined as the proclamation that Jesus is YHWH incarnate, King of the world, liberator of God’s people and bringer of peace. Sir, I also learnt that atonement means to be reconciled to God because our sins have been dealt with and we are forgiven. Sir, l further learnt that the effectiveness of our sermons as preachers of God’s Word are dependent on two factors : what we say and how we say it. In order of significance the ingredients making up a sermon are thought, arrangement, language, voice and gesture. In priority of impressions, however, the order reverses. Finally sir, I learnt that when a missionary can plant a church, disciple converts, train a few leaders and one of them to be the pastor then that missionary has ministered effectively cross culturally. Thanks sir.

We are called to face adversity as christians, as it is inevitable. Through adversity our faith can grow as adversity is time for growth, believing God for his help and victory.

I thank God for transforming my life through Axx bible college

Personal ego, position, and self achievement of the greatest obstacle in teams goal and achievement.

In a Christian context, Christian serves Jesus and not their own interest and if Christians continue to serve their own interest, they grief the Holy Spirit

Going through this unit with Amelia Pickering was just super wonderful. I learnt skills that has shaped my ministry better than I thought and it came clearly to me that my ministry isn’t complete if my own management and spiritual life is not in check. Amelia humbly taught me skills to navigate through this process and I am grateful to her and entire team at Axx Global.

I recognized the basic or fundamental truth God (Jesus Christ). Many confusing things about Jesus were made straight to me in this course. Thanks to AXX bible college for this great opportunity

As a Christian/leaders we should not only claim we are filled with the Holy Spirit but we should be led/walk by the Holy Spirit.

I always thought a calling is enough hence no need for study theology. What I can say is, if there is someone think the way I used to think, you better change your mind. I have grown and I teach sound doctrine

Jesus’ Kingdom” refers to the reign or rule of God, as taught and demonstrated by Jesus. It’s a central theme in the Gospels, often described as a present reality and a future hope, characterized by righteousness, peace, and joy. Jesus’ teachings about the kingdom emphasize its transformative power, both individually and collectively, and its implications for how believers live in the world.

God’s Reign:

The kingdom of God is fundamentally about God’s sovereign rule and authority. It’s not a physical territory, but a spiritual reality where God’s will is done.

Present and Future:

Jesus proclaimed that the kingdom of God had already come in his ministry, yet it also has a future consummation. His parables often illustrate this dual aspect.

Transformation:

Entering the kingdom of God requires a radical change of heart and life, turning away from sin and embracing God’s values. This transformation is both an individual experience and a societal impact.

Emphasis on Love and Justice:

The kingdom of God is characterized by love, compassion, and justice, challenging believers to live out these values in their relationships and actions.

Community:

The kingdom is not just an individual experience but also a community of believers who support and encourage one another in their faith.

Contrasting with Earthly Kingdoms:

Jesus’ kingdom contrasts with earthly kingdoms built on power, domination, and self-interest, highlighting the values of humility, service, and self-sacrifice.

In essence, the kingdom of God, as taught by Jesus, is a call to align one’s life with God’s will, experiencing transformation in the present and anticipating its full manifestation in the future, marked by love, justice, and peace.

In this module, l have come to understand that the bible is composed of various literary genres. Learning about these genres has given me insight into their unique purposes and how they communicate truth. For instance, Epistles are authoritative, one-sided letters that offer instruction, encouragement, and advice. Narratives use real-life stories to instruct and leave a lasting impression on the memory. Poetry, which makes up nearly half of the Old Testament, is emotionally rich and powerfully expressive. Wisdom literature emphasizes thoughtful reflection and guides us in how to respond to life’s complexities. Recognizing these forms of genres deepens our understanding and application of Scripture.

In this module, I learned that effective interpretation of Scripture requires a sound understanding of its historical and cultural background, while being careful not to let the background overshadow the actual meaning of the text. Both contextual and literary contexts are crucial in uncovering the original intent of the passage. Grasping the importance of avoiding allegorizing, topologizing, or over-spiritualizing the text unless the context clearly supports such an interpretation. These principles help ensure that our application of Scripture is accurate and specific. Additionally, understanding the different biblical genres is essential, as each genre guides and shapes how we interpret and apply a given passage.

In this module, I learned that pre-understanding or presuppositions could distort our interpretation of Scripture, potentially leading us away from its true meaning. Therefore, it is essential to approach the Bible with openness, allowing the text to speak for itself. Proper interpretation begins with understanding the original context and then applying the meaning through the “principalizing bridge” to our present time. The goal is to discover the meaning God has already placed in the text, rather than imposing our own ideas onto it. Additionally, we were encouraged to read the Bible attentively—not skim it—by looking for patterns such as repetition, contrasts, comparisons, cause and effect, and by reading in context. This involves moving from general to specific and vice versa, and paying attention to questions and answers within the passage.

Pentateuch part 2 is yet another milestone in advancement of knowledge in scripture. I have learnt a lot through these lessons concerning the Torah (Pentateuch).

The Torah wasn’t written just the ancient Israel (chosen by God as a covenant people) but also for us today. The Law reveals the expectations of God from His people. God is Holy and so the Torah drives this agenda, bringing us to holiness as we serve the One Who is holy. As scripture says, “be holy as I AM holy…” Our holiness is found in Him through the prescribed Torah. I am of the view that Torah is a prescription to our holiness and consecration. Without Torah, it would be difficult to ascertain the nature and image of the God we worship. Torah is the introduction of God to the ancient Israel and introduction of Christ to Christians today. This is because Christ is hidden in the Torah.

May God Bless You and God bless Axx Bible College.

Since church is a very big organization, understanding the different function of different, ministries and levels of Leadership is very important. Dr Nigel Pegram teaching materials have given me more insights into Team development and their functions. eg: production team. service team, project and development team, strategy and policy team, action and performance team, i now better equipped but still yet to learn more, i also appreciate Dr Pegram for recommending many books regarding principles of team work, i now have more materials than what Dr Pegram has taught me. These materials will be of much help for me in my future ministry.

Praise be to God I am gradually understanding the New Testament books more especially the synonstic gospel and the book of John. Throughout this week I have been opportune to listen to various lecturers. The lecturers were really amazing, praise be to God for their lives.

I thank God for the opportunity created for me to join Axx.

Frankly speaking the tutors teaching the cross cultures courses are amazing.May God richly blessed them.

In fact the impartation that has come on my life after this courses can’t be exaggerated. It have given me not only knowledge and skills in missions but also how to live or move with a stranger. It give me insight of the need to find every means to draw people attention to Christ no matter the race, cultures or behavior. I may say with this courses I am full.

I am most grateful for the opportunity given.

I just to express my deepest appreciation to Anxx Bible College to giving some of us this beautiful opportunities to learn more about God and His ways ,

Thank you very much and God Bless us all at Anxx Bible College.

The more I study to know, the more I have the sense of dedicating my time,my energy and my life to study more. Indeed God has not given us the spirit of fear to live in bandage rather he gave us power and love and sound mind through his knowledge of his words

Have gotten a clear concept about baptism. Some school of thought make believers believe that baptism will take you to heaven and have also understood that, babies are not to be baptized and that it is not a critetia for salvation.

I have been really blessed by all the teachings and it has given me a correct view about the bible and Christianity as a whole.

The course was not only educative and inspirational, it was unexpectedly detailed, engaging and rigorous for an online course. And most importantly, the facilitator made the word of God come alive, practical and applicable.

Though I had been preaching and pastoring awhile, the teachings were an unlearning, relearning and totally illuminating learning curve throughout. I totally attest the the faculty did a very thorough job in selecting both the body of courses that made this module and the facilitator.

I wish to say a very big thank you for this initiative that afforded me the privilege to study Pastoral ministry in my present situation and stage in life. Thank you

The Church is a.family where we grow in faith, and we develop our talents and gifts for the Lord. We should be part of the Kingdom as well as part of the Church. In the Church, we supposed to live the Kingdom life. We should not be satisfied with our participation in the local church. We should consciously wilfully living as part of the Body of Christ. Then we will give meaning to our christian life, and we will attract people around us in the Kingdom.

Thank God for this edifying course. May God bless the lecturer for his wonderful presentation, and the Axx Bible College staff.

Through the course have learned more on our Lord Jesus in the gospels and how Jesus responded to them as audience.Also on how to apply my knowledge well as I communicate the Love of God through Jesus Christ and also how to deal with” pharisees ” of today as a minister,it’s a great treasure in this course
