“This class on Colossians and Philemon has deepened my understanding of Christian relationships, reconciliation, and the importance of serving Christ in every aspect of life. I’ve learned about the power of forgiveness, the role of humility, and the strength that comes from living out Christ-centered principles in leadership. These insights will directly influence how I minister to others, guide people through challenges, and foster unity within my community. I appreciated the focus on practical application, especially how Paul’s letters provide timeless wisdom on Christian conduct, relationships, and ministry. The exploration of Paul’s personal appeal to Philemon regarding Onesimus was especially impactful, as it offered a real-life example of reconciliation and transformation. It was also enlightening to see how both letters tie into a broader understanding of the gospel’s transformative power in relationships.”

“In the course on Colossians and Philemon, I gained a deeper understanding of the supremacy of Christ and how this foundational truth shapes Christian living and ministry. The emphasis on Christ's sufficiency in all things has reinforced my reliance on Him, both for personal growth and in guiding others. Philemon’s focus on reconciliation and forgiveness has been transformative, encouraging me to foster unity and healing in relationships within the church. This class has equipped me with practical theological insights that I can apply in pastoral care, discipleship, and fostering a Christ-centered community in my ministry.”

“Colossians and Philemon has helped my ministry by enabling me to provide key elements to my sermons and provide a more accurate, more concise argument and discussion. This in-depth study provided me with a better understanding of the apostle Paul, his writings and doctrines. It was also good to receive more knowledge regarding the integrated themes, the recipients and cultural settings. I liked how each unit built upon the other providing a comprehensive insight into all aspects of the work of the Apostle Paul. I am grateful to Dr Daniel K Darko, Dr, David Feddes and Dr Sam Storms for their exposition of the epistles. Their teaching and understanding of the subjects taught me a great deal and it is valuable for my ministry especially the evaluation of various theological perspectives found in Colossians which will help me to defend the key Christian doctrines. Dr Darko provided a new insight into Colossians and especially Philemon which will strengthen me in future debates and teachings.”
