Family Values

 â€¢ Series: This Cultural Moment

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. This message challenges us to shift our focus from 'I' to 'we,' embracing our role in God's family. The scripture from Galatians 4:4-7 beautifully illustrates how we're adopted as God's children, prompting us to cry out 'Abba, Father.' This family dynamic isn't just a nice idea; it's a transformative reality that should reshape how we view church and our relationships within it. We're called to listen to spiritual mothers and fathers, live as sons and daughters, and grow alongside our brothers and sisters in faith. This perspective offers a powerful antidote to the cultural anthem of self-obsession, reminding us that our destiny is to join a diverse, multicultural chorus praising God. As we navigate our faith journey, let's consider how this family-oriented approach can deepen our spiritual lives and impact our interactions within the church community. Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center. Our vision is to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did so that we may love all people in Jesus' name.
