439. Caught Up in God's Story (Week 1): Come and You Will See // Heidi Tan

The City SG Podcast

Kicking off the “Caught Up in God’s Story” series, we had the honour of having Heidi Tan share with us on the work she does at Habibi International, a humanitarian organisation in Iraq, and her life story on how she felt called to be in the mission field to serve communities on the margins. In her sharing, she spoke on how as she waited to be out in the mission field, she learnt what it truly meant to “delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give your the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4), where as we spend time with the Lord and delight ourselves with Him, we become more aware of His heart’s desires, and that shapes our heart’s desires to align with His. She also spoke from John 1:35-42, where we read that John’s disciples, Andrew and Simon Peter, followed Jesus. In that passage, the conversation between Jesus, Andrew and Simon Peter captures some key questions that still hold true to this day as we search for a deeper purpose in our lives and our walk with God: 1. What are we looking for when we decide to follow Jesus? 2. Do we know where God is moving, and where His heart is? 3. How can we be a part of what God is showing us? No matter where you are in your walk with God today, we pray that we will be willing vessels, ones who know God’s heart and make all of our lives available for God to move in and through us for His good works.
