Koinonia (January 5, 2025)

In this series, we’ll look at three Greek words and biblical concepts: Koinonia, (community), Kiros (God’s view of ‘the times’) and Kenosis (emptying oneself for others.)

Koinonia appears in classical Greek philosophy as the ideal relationship to be sought after, sometimes described as “the fellowship of life.” Plato wrote about “a golden age” – happiness, equality, justice, brotherliness / sisterliness, and common property for the good of all the community.  

What the ancient philosophers dreamed of, wrote about and wished for, the first Christ-followers accomplished … through the Holy Spirit.
