What Other Students Are Saying....
“This class has deepened my understanding of how to apply biblical principles in my ministry, particularly in handling disputable matters within the church. It has provided valuable insights into how to foster unity while respecting individual differences in matters like food, days, and personal convictions. This is especially important in my ministry as I work with diverse groups of people. I appreciated the practical approach to Christian living and ministry that this course offered. The lessons about how to deal with differences in the body of Christ, as well as the emphasis on love and acceptance, were impactful. I also liked the thorough scriptural foundation that supported the teachings.”
Marshall Hamelton
“The detailed study of Romans has deepened my understanding of key theological concepts such as justification, sanctification, and the role of grace. This knowledge is invaluable for preaching and teaching, helping to articulate the core messages of the gospel with clarity and conviction.I particularly appreciated the thorough analysis of Paul’s teachings and the emphasis on practical application. The course's integration of historical context with theological insights made the material engaging and relevant. The quizzes and discussions facilitated a deeper exploration of the text, enhancing my learning experience.”
Samuel T. Robertson
“I learned a lot, however specifically I have a better understanding about justification by faith and how we’re clothed with Christ righteousness no matter what sins we have committed when we put our faith and trust in Christ. A lot of people I interact with need to hear the message. I have read Romans many times before, however taking this class I got a better understanding of Romans which will help me to help others to understand the Good News! I liked how Dr. Feddes and others went deep into the word. They didn’t sugarcoat the word they spoke Gods truth which helped me so I can help others. The teaching was very explanatory and mind renewal for me in a impactful way.”
