UNDERSTAND THE NOW-CHURCH

Much of the now-church is still largely maturing. That means we are being nurtured and prepared to do our individual works of ministry. This continues to enlarge and build the body of Christ towards maturity into the full measure of the stature of Christ. As a largely maturing family, it is not uncommon to have very unpleasant experiences with church. Sometimes it is about how your children, spouse or something dear to you is handled. Sometimes it can be challenges with the leadership style. Other times it can be an interpersonal relationship issue with a brother or sister in Church. There may be seasons of feeling at home and seasons of feeling unloved, not cared for and left out. These are common in every now-church because we are still largely being perfected. This understanding is necessary to enjoy the church community.
