When the Christian preaching seeks only to solve the individual relationship between the believer and God, and ignores the organic and communal aspects of God, world, and the self, such an individualistic preaching could not acquire the continual spiritual transformation of the believing
community. In order to overcome individualistic preaching and to seek communityshaping
sermon, preacher should establish a proper theological understanding on the relationship between the Christian church and the kingdom of God. The church is the organic community of the believer which proclaims and anticipates, sings out and prays for, enjoys and expects the
ruling of God in the world. In order to establish the organic community of the people of God through preaching, the preacher should continually proclaim the Christian salvational narrative of God who saves his people in the world, because this narrative about the saving God ties each member into one organic community, offers the frame of reference about God, the world and the self, and suggests a cognitive bases for experiencing God in the world. For the community-shaping preaching, preacher should start from the specific community context rather than individual believers context, proclaim the image God who leads the believers community rather than solving just individual believer􀁳s problem, acquires the community narrative which tells about the saving works of God in the specific community, take the role of the community leader, establish the communal communicative strategy on the vision-building community, and suggest the sermon application in terms of the community ethics rather than individualistic one.
