Course Reviews
Jesus, Kingdom, Gospel review/ testimonial
Have gained a better understanding of the Kingdom of God after this study
Food for thought
I actually struggled with the presenter Matt Jarlett to keep engaged and follow what he was saying . I appreciate this brothers knowledge of scripture but felt his presentations didn’t flow.
The content however made me analyse how I approach others with the Gospel message. Is my use of language and explanation applicable for my audience. It also reminded me that through all my conversations and actions daily I am a witness for Jesus. It has made me focus on being more “Christ like” in my everyday life .
God save me
The God of all Creation saved me! He will keep, treasure, and hold me for the rest of an endless eternity, even though I am the chief of sinners, deserving of Hell itself
The lessons in this series are presented by a number of experienced ministry leaders, with the emphasis on the Holy Spirit – who He is and what He loves to do, the Spirit’s work with and through believers, and Holy Spirit empowered outreach.

Review for "THEOLOGY - Ministry in Spirit"

Wow, an enrinching experience under the stewardship of spirit-filled experts...
Now, this part, Ministry in the spirit was the icing on the cake. Very detailed sessions, with a lot of practical examples, delivered by men and women of God. Thank you. Thank you.
