HighQuest III: His Heart
As followers of Christ, we have the privilege and responsibility to be his witnesses to a lost world. The Scripture uses terms like “witness,” “ambassador,” and “light” to describe Christ’s followers. Jesus clarified that responsibility when he told his disciples that following him would result in “fishing for men” (Matt. 4:19). Because Christ fishes for men, those who seek to follow Christ will do likewise.
His Heart is divided into three sections: each one focuses on a
member of the divine trinity and their role in the process of bringing people to faith.
• The first section looks at the passion of God the Father. • The second looks at the partnership of God the Spirit and develops y “Who is on your heart for heaven?” list. • The third section examines the provision of God the Son and teaches how to share the gospel using the “Bridge Illustration.”
Reproducing Christ intentionally is the focus of HighQuest III. It involves leading men to faith in Christ and then establishing them in this new relationship to bring about spiritual maturity and fruitfulness.
An agrarian model of cultivating, sowing and harvesting can
illustrate the journey to faith in Christ. The cultivating phase involves building relational bridges with lost men that will bear the weight of truth. The sowing phase involves helping men understand the claims of Christ and the elements of the gospel. The harvesting phase involves clarifying the gospel and bringing men to a point of faith commitment.
This unit of the HighQuest III series, looks at God’s heart
for lost and broken people as it develops the skills for cultivating and harvesting. The sowing phase is dealt with in detail in HighQuest III: His Story.
