Ministry — Mentorship — Tender-heart

First love is actually the first ministry? In this powerful message, Pastor Norman Sabadi explores “Ministry, Mentorship & a Tender Heart” and challenges us to reconsider the order in which we approach ministry. Before ministry comes first love. Before influence comes obedience. Before strategy comes the Holy Spirit and the Word. And before we can help heal others, God must deal with the condition of our own hearts. Drawing from John 14, Luke 10, Exodus 34, Psalm 24 and the story of Elijah, Pastor Norman speaks about the Kingdom of God as more than a doctrine—it is a way of thinking, living, loving and responding to God. The ministry God is raising requires tender hearts. It requires a generation that understands that ministry is not simply preaching, building platforms or performing religious activities. Ministry is building bridges of love, healing, restoration and unity. The Good Samaritan did not preach a sermon to the wounded man. He saw him, had compassion on him, and acted. Sometimes the ministry of God looks like a sermon. Sometimes it looks like obedience. Sometimes it looks like healing a wound. Sometimes it looks like sitting with someone, sharing a meal, crossing a cultural barrier—or simply offering a cup of tea. First love will build the altar again. And perhaps the revival we are praying for must begin with us—with healed hearts, healed relationships and healed altars.May the Holy Spirit mentor us into the ministry of first love and lead us from obedience into encounter. “If a man love me, he will keep my words… and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” — John 14:23 #TheMinistryOfFirstLove #PastorNormanSabadi #firstlove ----- 🔗 Continue the Journey Explore more of my books, teachings, resources and the journey behind the content: The Norman Sabadi Collection: https://payhip.com/NormanSabadi/journ... 🎥 My Creator Setup Most of what you see across The Norman Sabadi Collection is created with a relatively simple setup.
