Ethos Church || Columbus, Ohio Ethos is a place where people are given an opportunity and a platform to step into the things that God has gifted them to do. A church that is a team and a family. One that lives life together. One that wins together and loses together. A church that loves all people. A church big enough to reach the world and small enough to feel like home.

In our journey of faith, we often find ourselves navigating through stages of construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction.

​In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace a countercultural love in a world dominated by hate. The key scripture, Luke 6:27-36, calls us to love our enemies and do good to those who hate us. This radical love was the hallmark of early Christianity, setting it apart from other religions. We're reminded that Jesus redefined love as 'agap…

In a world that constantly pushes us towards self-centeredness, we're reminded of a profound truth: the cross of Jesus Christ doesn't just save us from our sins, it joins us to a family.

In Matthew 16, Jesus challenges us to embrace a radical form of discipleship. He calls us to 'take up our cross and follow Him,' a concept that feels foreign in our modern, self-focused culture.

The so…
