Course Overview
Finding Direction: Understanding and Overcoming Spiritual Lostness
This course delves into the concept of spiritual lostness, a stage often overlooked in discussions about spiritual maturity. Drawing inspiration from biblical metaphors and parables, notably the story of a farmer encountering a lost man, the course explores the profound questions of origin, purpose, and identity.
Participants will engage with key biblical passages, gaining insight into the human condition, the concept of sin, and the transformative power of understanding Jesus’ teachings. The course is structured around thought-provoking questions and assessments, encouraging deep personal reflection and a better understanding of one’s spiritual journey.
Interactive components include:
- Assessing personal beliefs about the human condition and moral character (Romans 3:19-24).
- Exploring the concept of the Kingdom of God and Jesus’ gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-11).
- Understanding the biblical depiction of sin and its impact (Isaiah 59:1-3; Romans 6:23).
- Reflecting on the role of good deeds and God’s grace (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5).
- Exploring the depth of God’s love and the identity of Jesus Christ (Romans 5:8; John 1:1-14).
- Contemplating Jesus’ statements about being the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:1-6).
The course concludes with a focus on personal application and steps for continuing the spiritual journey, inspired by the story of Allyn Donaugh’s transformation from feeling lost to finding hope and purpose in Christ. This course offers a unique blend of storytelling, biblical exploration, and personal introspection, making it suitable for individuals at various stages of their faith journey.
