Advanced Certification of Pastoral Ministry Free

Amazing course I am very blessed and learned a lot.

Great course,Thank you very much for this course, I learned a lot and I am very blessed.

I find myself to be honored by the college administration for allowing my admission to these course.
Through my study I find that sometimes Christian leaders might think they know God,and can minister,but to be honestry,you need some one to coach you.to unlock much hidden spiritual values in leadership.We need biblical scholars to teach us serve our Lord better with the help of the Holy Spirit.
At Axx college I have proved that hey deserve the Godly heart to train othersas they continue doing.
May God continues to bless all the stuff there.

I’m thankful that every lesson we learn from this study, enable us to understand deeper and grow more in our spiritual walk with Jesus. Being part of small group, prayer meeting every Monday evening, connect group bible study every Saturday evening (preaching the word also), worship & healing prayer meeting every sunday evening, reading the Word every morning, starting the day with Jesus in simple personal worshipping God, has enlarged my heart, infact strengthen my values, beliefes, deny negativity, feel more positive & feel happy (joy) we experince from these commitment. Reading the Word and engaging into discussion with others does build our knowledge of what God speak to others about a certain verse or theme.

Various Avenues of PC
1. The international Goal of All PC,
I’ve learned very much on this module and God , the original Pastor Carer, created within each individual’s thinking and relationships an environment that natures healthy life and sustainable growth out of which God’s reproductive and transformative mission is pursued. And this cannot be a ‘one-stop’ fix-all event, but a lifelong process involving many and varied expressions and experiences, some which are formal, but most of which are informal and life-situational.
There are basic steps process to be held to and those steps are the followings
1. Being Present
2. Listening intently
3. Reminding
4. Rediscovering
5. Integration
6. Engagement
7.Transportation.
Conclusion:there must be practical applications that can be made that will contribute beneficially ro continually creating an environment that nartures healthy life and sustainable growth out of which God’s reproductive and transformative mission is pursued.

I’ve learned that there are many individual skills that are part of the skill- set that a good Pastoral Carer requires in order to function effectively in this very important Ministry…and those areas are (1). the necessity of understanding people and their basic needs; (ii).the necessity of clear communication and teaching others how to communicate clearly; (iii).

PASTORAL CARE IN TIMES OF CRISIS AND LOSS…i have learned the presentation of this module was very comprehensive
1. Seeing Crisis as growth Opportunities. According to Chinese character ‘Crisis’ comprises the symbols of “danger” and “Opportunity ” and this is a great picture of Pastoral Care- seeking to help people choose the opportunities for growth in the face of apparent danger of crisis…this is where my main interest resides.
there are two categories to speaks about
A. Developmental Crisis
B. Accidental Crisis
2. Stressful Events Rsting Scale, under this subject Psychologists Holmes and Rahe(1967) developed a rating scale, from 0-100, covering 43 stressful events with death as spouse ranking the highest stress at 100 and divorce second it with 73 and it is obvious that this rate high and have detrimental effects on the life of people.
3. The Development Cycle of a ‘Normal’ Crisis.
While Crisis happen to all of us in many guides, there is usually a discernible ‘process’. Norman Wright explains four phases and they are following.
i). The impact Phase
● the severity of the crisis
● the degree of vulnerability at the time of the crisis
● the personality of the one experiencing the crisis.
ii). Tbe Withdrawal-Confusion Phase
iii). The Adjustment Phase
iv). The reconstruction- Reconciliation Phase.
4. A short Term Crisis Pastoral Care online
A basic 7 step Pastoral Care Process in Lesson 6, have specific suggestions that are revelant to crisis situations in People’ lives.
i. Listen intently and reflect feelings
ii. Questions carefully to focus on the conflict areas.
iii. Help the person review the total problem
iv. Provide useful information about the predicament.
v. Focus on the person’s major conflicts, problems, and impending decisions to clarify viable alternatives.
vi. Help the person decide the next step to take.
5. Kubler- Ross’ five steps of Bereavement Grief
□. Denial
□. Anger
□. Bargaining
□. Depression
□. Acceptance
6. Pastoral Caring for the Dying and their Family Lastly, caring for the terminally ill is a particular important aspect of Pastoral Ministry. This position requires careful investigations and knowledge so that an appropriate approach be given.
UNDERSTANDING STAGES AND TRANSITIONS IN LIFE.
Pastoral Care requires an understanding of the stages and transitions that occur in the ordinary unfolding of a person’s life..be it physical development, intellectual development or any particular skill development and this process takes place over time.. and this steps have been recognised by thinkers and writers over the centuries and the process are known as
1. Stages of Development , Erik Erikson, here state the stages of Cognitive Operations Development, whereas James Fowler’ state this stages of faith; or better, stages of cognitive development
2. Stages of life Development, , Robert Clinton has developed a very useful tool for helping unnpack the developmental stage by identifying 6 gateway for this process…In addition Terry Walling a student and mentee of Robert Clinton focuses on ‘transitions ‘ between these various stages of life development and , he, Walling, suggests that there is a recognisable cycle involved in each of these ‘transitions’

FOUNDATION OF LEADERSHIP
SOURCES OF CONFLICT
“…much of the frustration that leaders face comes from trying to solve what needs to be managed and trying to manage what needs to be solved.” (Ortberg 2008,p.71).
SYLE OF CONFLICT
■FOUR BASIC BEHAVIOURAL & COMMUNICATION STYLES:
“》The direct style(communicate with the Eagle)
》The Expressive style(communicate with the Peacock)
》The Amiable Style(communicate with the Dove)
》The Analytical Style(communicate with the Owl)” (Haddad 2011, p. 36-38).
BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT RESOLUTION
■Respond to the situation & behaviors
■Recover relationship and trust
■ Restore to the community of Faith
■Release those who do not respond.
FAILURE AND DECISIONS
” People never do anything perfectly the first time they try it-not in sports, not in games, not in school, and most certainly not in work organizations”
(Kouzes & Posner 2007, p. 199).
RISK AND OPPORTUNITIES
■Dealing with Risk in Leadership E. Gibbs(2005),pp159-173
●RISKS IN LEADERSHIP MINISTRY
▪” Leaders make risk safe, as paradoxical as that might sound. They turn experiments into learning opportunities……Of course, when you experiment, not everything works as intended. There are mistakes and false starts. They are part of the process of innovation. What’s critical, therefore, is that leaders promote learning from these experiences”
J. Kouzes & B. Posner (2012), p188.
LEADING COLLABORATIVELY
○What is collaborative Leadership?
○Why Collaborative Leadership?
○Characteristics of the Collaborative Leader
○ Becoming more of a collaborative Leader
○Who should you collaborate with?
VULNERABILITY OF THE LEADER
“Vulnerability: is typically mentioned in relation to trust…Scholars see the willingness to be vulnerable as one core aspect when defining trust.” A. Nienaber et al (2005).
■ Vulnerability- Source:
1 External Threats
2. Internal Comping Mechanisms
■ Debunking Vulnerability Myths
1. Vulnerability is Courage not Weakness
2. Vulnerability is Fact of life not a choice
3. Vulnerability is seeking solutions not Attention.
4. Vulnerability is about community not individuality” D.K. Williams(2003).
VULNERABILITY IS A LEADER STRENGTH
1. Vulnerability removes pretence
2. Vulnerability establishes original identity
3. Vulnerability creates connection
4. Vulnerability ensures authenticity
Based on S. Klausman(2016).

Greetings!
Person and Work of Christ
Soteriology-work of Christ
▪Images of Salvation
[There is] a range of referents in the ‘salvation’ that makes up c.At a popular level…it seems little more than fire insurance against hell and a ticket to a heavenly paradise. Yet biblical conceptions of salvation are far broader than this…salvation consists of more than a spiritual rescue in a postmortem state…The scriptures affirm God’s desire to save future eternal state as much as it affirms God’s desire to save people in thier current physical state” (Bird, Evangelical Theology, p. 493).
SALVATION AND ATONEMENT
What did the Cross of Christ achieve?
“In the Christian story, God at the cross, deals with the problem of sin, Satan, and humanity’s separation from himself through a redemptive action that draws together the offender and offended party in reconciliation…’atonement’…the old English ‘onement’ meaning to attain a state of ‘at-one-ness” (Bird, Evangelical Theology, p. 388)
Salvation through, or by the atoning sacrifice of Jesus.
CROSS AND RESURRECTION
“When the archeologists dig up a place of worship in the desert sand and find in it the sign of the cross, they can be virtually certain that it is a Christian Church. Today,too, we find the cross in the Christian Churches as the central symbol….worshippers gaze at the crucifix. The word of The cross is preached..[during Easter many] devout Christians follow the course of Jesus’passion in the stations of the cross, and meditate on the reasons for His suffering and the redeeming effects of his death. Even in Islam, Christianity is represented by the symbol of the cross..”
Moltmann, the CrucifiedGod, p. 32.
WORLDVIEW AND THEOLOGY
“…the Bible is seldom, if ever, approached without presuppositions. They change from age to age. Frequently, they reflect quite unconsciously a framework of meaning and habits of thought that are supplied by the prevailing world view”(Lawrence Burkholder, 1986,p.39.)
SOTERIOLOGY -BIBLICAL METAPHORS 1&2
The new testament doesn’t develop a systematic doctrine of salvation. Instead of presents us with variety of picturestaken from different perspectives. From one angle , the human predicament is bondage to both internal and external forces. Salvation looks like freedom from those forces. From yet a third angle, the human predicament looks like alienation from God,from other people, from creation and even from one’s best self. Salvation looks like restoration of those relationships”(Brenda Colin, Image of Salvation in the New Testament, pp.13-14).
JUDICIAL/PENAL METAPHOR- this is a forensic- legal idea common in the ancient law courts and in this metaphor we have justification.
SACRIFICIAL METAPHOR: Purification,Cost,death, spiritual sacrifices.
LIBERATIONIST METAPHOR
▪Redemption
RELATIONAL METAPHOR
▪Reconciliation.
THE EXTENT OF THE ATONEMENT
“Throughout church history the dominant view has been that not everyone will be saved. It is not because many have not wanted to broaden the scope of God’s saving mercy, but because Christians have generally found overwhelming evidence in Scripture to the effect that some people will be eternally lost” Bird, Evangelical Theology, p. 580.
A. Universal Conversion
B. Universal Atonement
C. Universal Opportunity
D. Universal Explicit Opportunity
E. Universal Reconciliation
F. Universal Pardon
G. Universal Restoration.
THEORIES 1,2&3
THEORIES OF ATONEMENT PART 1
○ Recapitulation Theory
○ Ransom Theory
THEORIES OF ATONEMENT PART 2
○ Satisfaction Theory
○ Moral Influence Theory
○ Penal Substitution Theory-Christ
THEORIES OF ATONEMENT PART 3
■Engaging the Models
“The death of Christ on the cross is surely one of the most profound visual representations of the character of God..This objective moment off revelation is thus capable of impressing itself on the hearts and minds of people throughout history, promoting a real change in how people construe the whole of God’s creation and make their homes in it” (Joel Green in Belby et. el. 184).
GRACE
“A COVENANT OF GRACE
“The covenant of grace is the overarching conceptual reality behind the Abrahamiccovenant covenant and the New covenant that avails for the redemption of Grace’s people…God’s rescue plan to turn the corrupted garden of Eden into the garden city of a new Jerusalem “
Bird, Evangelical Theology, 226″
I have learned much from this course.
