People often look at happy images of marriages on social media and say, “I want that,” but they don’t really know what “that” is. The real secret to a great marriage goes far deeper than just a hashtag. “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” -Matthew 6:21 (NIV)- https://www.ethosoh.com/churchonline Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center.

Jordan dives into what the Scriptures have to say about singleness. Often there is an assumption that you’ll grow in love with someone, marry, and have children. When that assumption is delayed, you may become discouraged or at worst identify as incompetent or unlovable. We see that there is a purpose to singleness. The goal of this teaching is to reveal God’s plan for both the gift and calling of singleness as well as the anticipation and preparation of marriage. Pastor Jordan reminds us not to miss the benefits of the season we are in because we are pining away for the benefits of another season. “God has ordained a season of singleness not for us to fill it with distractions or career ambitions, but to pursue an undistracted devotion to Him.” https://www.ethosoh.com/churchonline Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center.

Sometimes, the past doesn’t stay in the past. We end up carrying painful moments with us, allowing them to weigh us down. When we hold on to painful moments and difficult mistakes, it weighs us down. But you don’t have to keep holding on to the pain from your past. Forgiveness is powerful. It allows us to experience the freedom that God intended for us to live in. But sometimes, we keep holding on to our pain. Learn how to finally let go. https://www.ethosoh.com/churchonline Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center.

Jesus’ vision for the church is a people united under Him. It cannot be overstated the mission of Jesus to unite the people of God in healthy relationship. But that’s no easy task and it requires something of you. In fact, Healthy relationships begin with you. Don’t confuse healthy with convenient. Don’t confuse healthy with easy. Healthy relationships require a healthy amount of work. But the good news is that Jesus, if you’ll allow Him, wants to lead you in this work. For many of us, Jesus has influenced an occasional time slot on Sunday mornings but has little influence on the character of our lives. So, maybe it’s time we stop expecting something from Gods people that we’re not maturing in ourselves. https://www.ethosoh.com/churchonline Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center.

Before we write out our goals, we should begin in the heart. The temptation for Christians is to make our plans and add a dollop of Jesus on top, rather than allowing him to form in us the desires and motivations to do his work. So, whether or not we’re making concrete goals or more abstract ones, whether we’re writing down resolutions or foregoing them altogether, here are a few questions to consider as we peer into 2022, to draw closer to Christ. “You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” -Psalm 139:15-16”- https://www.ethosoh.com/churchonline Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center.
