In an increasingly anxious world, we must identify how we can experience a non-anxious presence found only in the presence of Jesus. Jesus invites you to His table in the presence of your “enemies” to remind you that He is still with you. As a result, you don’t minimize the pain and problems you face, you magnify the presence of your Shepherd. “Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.” -Psalm 23:6 (NLT)- Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center.

The crushing, emotional blows of disappointment are exacerbated when you are disappointed by someone who you trust and expect to give you what you want. Especially when that someone is God. When it feels like God let you down, holding on to anger and resentment is easier than forgiving Him. But God hasn’t forgotten you. He understands your pain. He is not intimidated by your doubt or disappoint. God would rather you learn how to yell at Him in disappointment and pain than walk away from Him in silent defeat. As a community, lets learn how to move forward from our disappointments with God. Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center.

As much as we want to be people who live un-offended the reality of life and humanity is we will all get offended. Offense comes in a variety of packages but hurts the most when it comes from someone we love and someone who loves us. Jesus says a divided house cannot stand. Offense is a tactic of the enemy but his real mission is to divide the relationships you hold so near to your heart. The call for us is to not excuse the offense but forgive it. To put it in it’s proper place by remembering what we’ve been forgiven of. Forgiveness for every offense that comes against us is not radical but it is reasonable after experiencing the loving forgiveness of Jesus.
