Observing helps one to take right decision
In this course i learned that i observation is applied it will help one to take the right decisions. It is like when driving a car we need always be observant to other road users especially when changing lanes we need to observe whether it is clear and safe to do so. Similarly with the word of God we need to observe in order to apply correct principle of interpretation.
I also learned the triangle of God at the top, original audience on the left, and us todayand the application for contemporary audience .

Course Reviews
Faithful witness - yielded, surrendered and in sinc with our God
I enjoyed hearing the commentary on the History – how the mission of God has been out working throughout His timeline. To also consider what that looks like for HIs people in this post Covid 19 world. Being positioned to have a listening ear that allows Holy Spirit to renew our minds, strengthen and prepare us to receive His blueprint and strategy that will direct our steps for the new era we have entered into. A faithful witness with a heart always positioned to learn from His perspective. Yielded and surrendered to Holy Spirit – being willing to move as He moves, truly in sinc and as one with Him.
Excellent presentation and contend
Excellent. I especially enjoyed and got a lot out of going through the church in history section which helped me understand the Bible in a better way.
Greater Understanding of OUR place in God's Narrative
I loved the way that the course took me to a place where I could associate with the original audience & how it related to me and my place in this current day.

Certificate of the Bible Reviews
Help in understanding the bible & it's importance for us.
This course was presented so well that it allowed me to further understand the bible by putting it in to context & how if we understand the original audience then we can better understand its meaning & application for us today.
I loved how Andrew took us through the development of the church & it’s various denominations.
There were so many other highlights too many to mention but the way the course put things in practical terms in asociation with the times & us helped me to get so much more out of it.
Very good
The lecturers were very knowledgeable and encouraging. High quality resources and lessons.
Building Kingdom Awareness
As a christian of many years I found this course refreshing and revising. It both revised my knowledge of the bible and provoked thought about the themes there in. It then turned thought towards the kingdom and kingdom thinking. In these challenging times (2021) we are beset by information, by opinions, by people telling us what we should be concerning ourselves with. It is easy to forget to “seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness Matt 6:33” and this course has reminded me of that.
