Course Reviews
Greater understanding and getting a renewed love of the scriptures.
Life has become busy with having a disabled son that my reading and studying the word got put off. Since doing the courses my focus and thoughts are more on the word of God .
Understanding the heart of God
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
Revelation Fusion NOT Confusion
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.
In this course, you’ll learn some of what the Bible has to say about humanity. Unpack topics like the “image of God”, God’s response to sin, the humanity of God, suffering and forgiveness, sexuality, women in ministry and the environment.

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
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.

Course Reviews
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!
Peace and Power Combined
I loved studying Theology – Ministry in the Spirit!!! This gave me a whole new perspective and understanding of my relationship with the Holy Spirit and His power in my life and the closeness we can experience as we learn to listen and discern Him.
Both informative and practical
I enjoyed this course. It was both informative and practical and was good to hear more personal testimonies and experiences.
