Spiritual Gifts
It is wonderful to learn that the different gifts we have in our faith is from one source which is the Holy Spirit. We should consider both the spiritual gifts and the fruits of the spirit as being very important.
Theology of God
This program helped me so much to understand and brought me up to next level of understanding.
Great break-down
I think this wa a great break-down of important topics into bite sized pieces, I really appreciated that approach to make it easier to digest, and having short snippets to think about.

Course Reviews
Enlightening
This has been the most thought provoking section so far. It tied up many loose ends in my thinking, plugged many gaps in my knowledge and even answered questions that I’d never actually thought needed asking!! All of that enables me to start grasping the much bigger picture. Many thanks indeed.
My wonderful Theology Course
I learned alot of how to understand and treat people from all wakks of life.
It taught me of how Gods image,is all around me ,because the Bible tells me we are all made in His Image.
It taught me how to be more tolerent of other people and how to love and care for others.
Great course on how God Interacts with US
The key points for me where
-God decision to be with us
-Understanding of True Freedom
-Bigger picture understanding of Paul Teaching in relations to ministry

Course reviews
My wonderful Theology Course
I was amazed ,how much more I learned about the Holy Spirit and how important His work was during the time of Jesus, while He was on earth .
I learned about all his powers and how He can connect us closer to God the Father and my saviour Jesus Christ.
This course made me think about the subjects in ways I never considered before.
It was so good to have regular discipline and study time, especially among all the disruptions over the last 18 months. Going into this course I thought I had a good understanding and Biblical knowledge. But there were quite a few times when I had a “Wow, …now I get it” moment which was really great. I learned that my testimony is powerful, but sharing it can be as simple as a quiet chat over coffee. I don’t need to stress about getting it perfect because we all get it wrong sometimes in our enthusiasm to tell people about God and our relationship with Him. But if I bring The Holy Spirit into it, and trust the gifts He has given me, I am not alone. It also made me think more seriously about the responsibility and yet the privilege of my relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Tips on telling “Your Story”
I found this section very helpful. The simplification of how to build “Your Story” & the method of delivering it, demonstrated to me, really how simple it can be for Christians to share with family & friends who are non believers. To be told, hey, it’s OK to “get it wrong” sometimes made me think that God can take really any situation, place His hand on it, and we can become a vessel on the sea of His Word.

I have never understood the importance of the part, the HOLY SPIRIT has in the fulness of His powers and significence, and how HE connects us with God and His Son JESUS, and His constant presence in the world from the beggining of time.Genesis 1:2
The Respective, Pastors who tutored me were very helpful, understanding and gifted to instruct in the various subjects and aspects of Theology in the understanding of who God is.
I learned that the Holy spirit gives out various gifts to anyone who sincerely asks for the gifts that will benifit them selves, and equally important to pass on to others, so they benifit also.
I especially was amazed learning the fact that the Holy Spirit is A Gentleman,WOW!!!
