Ethos | Presence | Exodus 33:7-23 | Week 2

Ethos is the series we're in.  We started last week, and we're going to be talking more about who God has created us and shaped us to be uniquely, some of our values, and our mission.  Last week, we said the reason that we're here, the reason that we gather on a Sunday morning, is to help people live in the way of Jesus with the heart of Jesus.  We want to help people become apprentices, or learners, or disciples of what it looks like to live more and more in the way of Jesus of Nazareth.

Today we're moving into our very first value.  I was watching my news feed this week and there was something that kept popping up over and over and over again.  It was the hearing Congress was having with Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook.  Did anybody see the highlights of this?  A few parts of it were a little bit comical.  Congressmen and women asking Mark Zuckerberg, "Let me get this straight.  Facebook is free?"  He's like, "Yeah, absolutely free."  "100% free?"   You could almost see them going, "Oh, we've got you backed into the corner now, buddy."  He's like, "Absolutely free."  They're like, "Well, how do you make money?"  {Gotcha!}  He's like, "Well, Congressmen, we run advertisements."  Their minds were like BOOM! this is a completely new, revenue-generating model!  Right?  What they really asked Mark Zuckerberg was how much is Facebook following people?  How much do you hear?  Mark, where are you guys?  When people sign up, do you get access to them at that point in time, or are you in more places than just that?...
