Pastor Brad McMahan's sermon "The Way of Surrender" highlights the significance of having a clear ethos to guide our lives, emphasizing the battle against internal enemies like envy and greed. By addressing the role of money in our hearts, he shows how Jesus leads us to find true fulfillment and purpose in discipleship. A new ethos of stewardship, sacrificial giving, generosity, and service is encouraged as a way to defeat inner enemies and grow in faithfulness. The sermon encourages cultivating a receptive heart and mind to let the Gospel take root, bear fruit, and bring blessings to both ourselves and others.

In the sermon "The Way of Warrior Disciples," we explore the concept of Ethos and its significance in the Christian faith. Ethos refers to the spirit, character, and customs of a community. The sermon highlights the transformation of Jesus' disciples from fearful and doubtful individuals to courageous and bold warrior disciples due to His resurrection. Through faith and discipleship, one can reshape their ethos, breaking away from pain and struggle, to find satisfaction and peace. The vehicle that Jesus used to wage war on the enemies of our hearts and the strongholds they create was money. Jesus warns against trying to serve both God and money and states that it's impossible to try serve both. He explains that where our treasure is, is where our hearts will be also. For Jesus, money wasn't a finance issue, it was a faith issue. Stewardship and generosity don't merely fund the church, but instead they are disciplines and training exercises that are directly tied to growing and strengthening our faith.
