October Discipline: Prayer
Posted by Dave Clayton on 10/20/2009
I believe Prayer is one of the most intimate ways you can connect with God. Prayer is a major struggle for some people because they often feel their prayers are unheard, ignored and unanswered. The most amazing thing about God is that He hears EVERY single prayer and thought that goes on inside our minds. He takes those concerns, needs and wants and creates a beautiful masterpiece out of your life that will ultimately satisfy your hearts deepest desires in His timing. Not ours. Your prayers are never unanswered, they are always answered. Just in an unimaginable and beautiful way. This is why it is important to pray continuously and never stop.
God cares about us so much that He wants to know every little thing that we desire. Lean on God and talk to Him all day long. He is there for you and is always there to listen. So I challenge you this week to simply speak to Him, ask Him for help, send Him the praise He deserves and ask for His grace and forgiveness. Gods unending love will be there to guide you throughout all of your days. When you wake, talk to Him. When your working, talk to Him. When your driving, talk to Him. When your watching TV, turn it off, and talk to Him. He is there to listen to you, whenever you are ready to talk. If you learn to live a disciplined Prayer life your life will change in ways that you could have never imagined. God will become the center of your life and not just a part of your life. My prayer for you this week is that God may work in your heart and you will be transformed by His love and His ever-listening ear. Amen.
Job Needed

Hello. Here is a message from one of our brothers, Paul, that is looking for work. If you know of anything, just shoot Paul an email (paulrobert.85@gmail.com)
—————– (Message from Paul) —————————————
To my Brothers and Sisters, I moved here in May after graduating from college and since then I have struggled to find my faith, to find what God wants for me in this life. Since attending Ethos, I have been challenged to allow Him to take control. I especially appreciate finding brothers and sisters here I can relate to. I attend the house church that Daniel Hudgins and Josh Martin head up and I feel I have found a place to contribute, to serve my Lord. I rejoice for these blessings, but still need prayers. I had a seasonal job for a couple of months, but have been unemployed since August. So here I am, humbly asking my family for advice about finding a job here in Nashville. I know the Lord has called me to paint, to create, to bring beauty to mankind, but I need to find a more consistent form of income. I have been looking for sometime by myself. Now I know I don’t have to do this alone. I would appreciate any help that can be extended.
In Love,
Paul Shoulders

October Discipline: Prayer
Posted by Dave Clayton on 10/11/2009
Prayer has been something that is always so fascinating to me. I have always thought of it as a way to be instantly connected to God. There is something wonderful about knowing that anything that is on your heart can be said to him and he is there to listen, love, praise, comfort, be understanding, be disappointed, but in the end ultimately he still loves us unconditionally.
Each morning on my way to work, I like to take the first few minutes of my drive to talk to God. It started a couple of years ago, because I needed to ask him for something, but as I continued to do it each day I began to realize spending each day by starting it off in prayer effected how my day turned out. I found this time with God to be more and more enjoyable each day. Often times when prayer becomes a daily, hourly (or however often) routine….it becomes exactly as worded – a routine. Routine is something that I never want if it means that I am going to be stagnant in my prayer time with God. I’m personally looking forward to this month’s challenge, because it helps me to ask deeper questions and refocus my thought and to make sure I am being purposeful in my prayer.
I love this verse, I think it sums up prayer perfectly:
Phillipians 4:6 – Don’t worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God.
Dear Heavenly Father, I am coming before you to pray for our church. I pray that we are loving our city the way you would love our city, that we are seeking to spread your word uncontrollably, and that we are glorifying your Name in all that we do. We love you and thank you for your sacrifice that you made and I pray that we honor your name. In Jesus’ Name Amen!
Back at the Cannery (5 PM and 7 PM)
Posted by Dave Clayton on 10/10/2009
Great news, this Sunday Night, October 11th, Ethos Church will be back at the Cannery for our regular worship times (5 PM and 7 PM). I know things were a bit chaotic last week as we had to relocate to Rocketown, but a bit of chaos makes everything a little more fun right?
After all, moving locations every so often serves as a great reminder that church has NOTHING to do with where we meet. Our only purpose is giving our hearts to Jesus. I can’t wait to gather together tomorrow night.
Bring a friend and a Bible.
Ethos at Rocketown this Sun (Oct 4)
Posted by Dave Clayton on 10/01/2009
Occasionally there are conflicts at the Cannery (our usual meeting place) on Sunday Nights. This is one of those weeks. So this Sunday Night, we will be meeting at Rocketown (just a few blocks from the Cannery). Since Rocketown is larger, we will only have our 5 PM Worship Gathering this week. In other words, THERE WILL NOT BE A 7 PM WORSHIP GATHERING this week.
We are thankful that Rocketown has graciously allowed us to use their venue. Although it is a hassle to move locations, this is literally the best case scenario. What more can you ask for when you are trying to relocate nearly 600 people with just a few days notice? God is good. Thanks to Rocketown and the Cannery for allowing us to partner with them.
