Incarnational Community (The Year of Here)

There is a difference in the general social interaction between people…and the supernatural relationship and community that is supposed to exist in a biblically functioning community. On the surface, they may look the same but one is natural, the other is supernatural; it’s incarnational. And because of that, Incarnational Community is counter-intuitive; it goes against the flow of what comes natural to us. When we understand what scripture says - what God expects for his people - it changes our whole perspective and thinking about relationshipsLiving incarnationally will help us transition:1. From Conversion to Community 2. From Association to Participation3. From Self-Righteousness to Compassion4. From Individualism to Fully Present5. From Drudgery to CelebrationOne another statements:1.
