QUEST: A Study for Maturing Christians
The word quest comes from the Latin word quaesita, and means "a thing sought for; the act of seeking; a search, hunt, or pursuit." It would be difficult to find a word which more accurately describes the Christian's natural desire to seek a better understanding of the things of God.
To encourage your personal spiritual quest, three units of lessons have been developed for study. The first unit, "Coping With Feelings," centers on how Christians should deal with four types of negative emotions which likely will come across the path of every believer at some point in life. The second unit focuses on "Current Issues" and explores how four aspects of today's society could impact us. The final unit, "Developing Discipleship," pinpoints five areas where we can assess our spiritual walk and draw closer to God.
As you delve into these lessons, our prayer for you is the same as Paul's prayer for the believers at Ephesus: "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened (Ephesians 1:17,18).
