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 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. This teaching invites us to consider what it truly means to deny ourselves and follow Christ. It's not about losing our identity, but rather aligning our d…

In this teaching, we explore the healing ministry of Jesus as depicted in Matthew chapters 8-10.

In this powerful message, we're called to examine the idea of unity in Christ, using Moses' life as a profound example.

Salvation is God’s gift of grace, not earned through good works. Before experiencing God’s grace we were dead in our sins, however, God’s love and mercy made us alive in Christ. We are God’s masterpiece, created to do good works in Christ Jesus, which God prepared in advance for us. We have a purpose ordained by God that we can choose to walk in, n…

This message challenges us to return to our 'first love' - the passion and devotion we had when we first came to faith in Jesus.

The so…

We are reminded that as followers of Christ, our ultimate goal should be to love like Jesus, even amidst the divisiveness and challenges of an election year.

Explore the multifaceted nature of love through the lens of the Greek language, where four distinct words paint a complex picture of this fundamental human emotion.

Sexuality and spirituality intertwine in profound ways, yet the conversation often gets lost in whispers.

Look in Christian bookstores at books on marriage and parenting – compare that with books on singleness – very few marriage books argue that marriage is a good thing – that’s accepted. Instead, they talk about all the problems in marriage and how to deal with them. Christian marriage books tell you how to deal with the difficulty of marriage. Books…

The idea that all religions are equally correct is called “religious relativism”. That all positions are equally correct, and therefore, we shouldn’t evangelize.

It’s not difficult to get a person interested in the message of the gospel, it is difficult to sustain the interest. Millions of people make decisions for Christ, but there is a dreadful attrition rate. In the words of Eugene Peterson, “Many claim to have been born again, but the evidence of mature Christian discipleship is slim.” In the western ch…

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.

We need to want relationsh…
