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 relationships
Living incarnationally will help us transition:
1. From Conversion to Community
2. From Association to Participation
3. From Self-Righteousness to Compassion
4. From Individualism to Fully Present
5. From Drudgery to Celebration
