Explore the transformative power of prayer in this engaging episode. Drawing from Luke 11, we delve into Jesus' teaching on prayer, highlighting the balance between intimacy and reverence in addressing God as 'Father.' Discover the importance of boldness and persistence in prayer, akin to a neighbor seeking bread at midnight, reflecting God's openness to our 'shameless audacity.' 

We challenge you to identify barriers to a vibrant prayer life—be it busyness, doubts about efficacy, or timidity. Learn the significance of both personal petitions and intercession for others, and embrace prayer as a profound journey with a God who is both intimately close and awesomely powerful.

In this exploration of the Parable of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10, we're challenged to reexamine our understanding of what it truly means to be a neighbor. 

This familiar story takes on new depth as we consider its racial and social implications, pushing us beyond our comfort zones. Being a good neighbor isn't just about proximity, but about radical love and sacrifice. We're called to both 'gospel messaging' and 'gospel neighboring' - not just sharing the good news, but living it out in tangible ways.

The cost of discipleship is high, but the cost of not following Jesus is even higher.

True discipleship isn't about convenience or personal gain - it's about daily surrender and dying to self. But in losing our life for Christ, we find true life, purpose, and flourishing.

What's the next right step in your journey of following Jesus?

What if everything you thought you knew about following Jesus was turned upside down?

In Luke 6, Jesus presents a radical new way of living that challenges our natural impulses and cultural norms. He calls us to:

• Find blessing in poverty and suffering 

• Love our enemies 

• Refrain from judgment 

• Build our lives on His words

This upside-down Kingdom doesn't make sense to our world or even to ourselves sometimes. But Jesus isn't calling us to try harder or be perfect.

He's inviting us into a transformative relationship:

"Come to me. Hear my words. Do them

This Easter, we were reminded that Jesus sees our struggles, pursues us despite our failures, and offers unending love and redemption. Just as He restored Peter after denial, Christ stands ready to restore each of us.

No matter how far you feel you've strayed or how much shame you carry, Jesus' resurrection power can transform your story. His heart for you cannot be diminished by your sins any more than clouds can threaten the sun.

You are loved beyond measure. Your past doesn't define you. Hope is alive.

In a world full of temptation, Jesus shows us the way to true freedom.

This week at Ethos, we dove into Luke 4 and explored how Jesus succeeded where Israel failed, breaking the pattern of sin and setting us free. We learned that:

• We are no longer subject to sin - Christ's sacrifice gives us renewed humanity NOW, not just in eternity 

• We can overcome temptation through the power of the Holy Spirit 

• God's redemptive story is still unfolding, and we get to be part of it!

As followers of Jesus, we are called to be 'heaven and earth people,' bringing God's kingdom to life in our everyday world.
