KINGDOM PARTICIPATION: GROWING TOGETHER AS A WITNESS TO THE WORLD

We are in a series looking at a number of practices designed to create space for God to transform us in our relationship with Himself, with one another and with our neighbours. This week, we will focus on the practice of Kingdom Participation and its challenge to see Christ-like character growth as crucial to representing Christ authentically in the world. (2 Cor. 3:2-3; 1 Peter 3:15) In Galatians 5, Paul talks about Christian growth using the picture of character as fruit developed in us by Gods Spirit. It is important to note that the context of this growth is significantly plural.
