Healthy Relationships: The Seven Connectionsનમૂનો

Connection Six - Kingdom

Connection Six in our Christian journey involves engaging with God's Kingdom. We prepare for ministry through prayer and readiness, equipping ourselves for service like soldiers preparing for battle. This involves seeking God's guidance and aligning our hearts with His purposes.

Listening involves ongoing learning from Scripture, theology, and practical training. This helps us understand God's will and navigate ministry challenges with clarity and wisdom. By studying God's Word and growing in knowledge, we open ourselves to the Holy Spirit's guidance, shaping our hearts and minds according to His truth.

Engaging with diverse Christian perspectives broadens our understanding of God's Kingdom and strengthens unity among believers. This collaboration empowers us to serve effectively and share the Gospel boldly, embodying God's love and truth in our interactions with others. As we participate in discussions and events, we contribute to building a unified Body of Christ that transcends denominational boundaries, fostering mutual learning and shared mission.
