Every relationship forms you. The relationships you say “yes” to, and the relationships you say “no” to will both form you in one way or another. These relationships either wound you on the “operating table” or on the “battle field”. The operating table scenario heals, while the battle field scenario ultimately dominates. We need to want relationships that put us on the “operating table.” Who are you allowing to form you?
We often think Jesus was 50% grace, and 50% truth. But, in reality he was 100% of both. Both the attractional and formational aspects of Jesus’ ministry worked hand in hand.
At Ethos we desire to be the same – creating environments where people can come and see, while also be seen. Where all guests who arrive are received like Christ, and where we can be formed into the vision of Jesus.
“And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We are all formed by your hand.” – Isaiah 64:8
Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center. We are on a mission to love all people in Jesus' name so that we may all Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose, & Make a Difference.
