Certification of Bible and Theology

"Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled."
— Romans 15:4
Practical problems have theological answers. So the question is not whether or not you’re going to be a theologian, but what kind of theologian you’re going to be.

My Testimony

12/01/2025

One of the things I really valued about

AXX Bible College was the flexibility. I am working as Bus Driver in Sydney. And doing split hours work which I can open my ttablet and study.

It was great for me because it allowed for me to fit my study around my ministry commitments, and allowed me to put my learning into immediate application.”

“I live in Sydney suburb Lakemba, people’s from many background world view is very different, and AXX Bible College Study Material Engaging the Scriptures prepared me really well for that.

I study the lectures from Matt who deliver the study of Bible very well : word study, up to application, prepared me well to be doing church Ministry to become Youth Pastor right here in Lakemba Baptist Church, Sydney, and helped me in my study just like a missionary training as i apply in my ministry together with my wife and my children. Home – Church – Work (school for my children)

God grace and blessing abundantly provide us with His Wisdom and Knowledge.

Thank you AXX Bible College.

Kind regards,

CONTEXT IS IS BETTER THAN JUST TEXT

06/23/2025

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.

Through my 12 month journey, Axx Bible College has given me guidance, practical teaching and Holy Spirit spiritual teaching to feel confidently equipped to write my first book, which is at the publishers, and will be available soon. But God doesn’t stop there, and when you’re connected to the Vine, the full Power of Christ emerges and through the Will of the Holy Spirit, I have started creating a second book! I’m only 5,000 words in, but another example of being in the right place at the right time, thank you Axx your teaching resources are special and anointed through Christ Jesus! I feel the Power!

The Importance of Genre in Interpreting Scripture

06/22/2025

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.

Balancing Background, Context, and Genre in Biblical Interpretation

06/21/2025

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.

Interpretation of the scripture

06/21/2025

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.

Jesus. Kingdom. Gospel: Part 1

06/22/2025

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.

Practical and Spiritual

01/18/2026

Through my 12 month journey, Axx Bible College has given me guidance, practical teaching and Holy Spirit spiritual teaching to feel confidently equipped to write my first book, which is at the publishers, and will be available soon. But God doesn’t stop there, and when you’re connected to the Vine, the full Power of Christ emerges and through the Will of the Holy Spirit, I have started creating a second book! I’m only 5,000 words in, but another example of being in the right place at the right time, thank you Axx your teaching resources are special and anointed through Christ Jesus! I feel the Power!

You cannot lead without people and people matter, you matter and so does Christ, He matters, and you matter to Him.

Realistic solutions to complex scenarios

01/17/2026

Real practical skill development opportunities here to learn about dealing with conflict affectively. The course offered great examples we can apply in real-life situations and also within a ministerial context. Very well discussed, and clearly thought out and intentionally taught offering realistic solutions to complex scenarios.
