Sermons and teaching from Agathos Ministries- A church for 1 in 10. 9 in 10 would be better served by a more conventional church.
Agathos is anything but conventional.
Agathos (a-GAH-thos)
âBe Good. Do Goodâ
âAgathosâ is a Greek word. More precisely it means:
Something that is Good in its nature and beneficial in its Effect.
*Agathos Ministries Sermons are as much Seminar as Sermon. This means that the Sermons contain useful, practical information you can use in your day to day life. This principle flows from Ephesians 4:12, âFor the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry.â For us, we teach practical insights and skills that will help people help others.
A FEW CONTROVERSIAL BELIEFS
1. The Deal Principle: Godâs Real Rule on Divorce and Remarriage is that Divorce For Grounds is permitted. The couple decides The Deal, and the couple decides The Deal Breakers. A legally Divorced person may Remarry. The commitment is to the relationship, not just the status.
2. Women are to be honored and respected, unleashed in their potential for leadership, accomplishment, and being all that God made them able to be. Women are not restricted in their leadership positions in the Church. If men have a problem with over-attraction to feminine beauty, it is the job of the men to mature, NOT the job of women to cover up.
3. Men are to be selfless leaders, and no man should expect even his wife to submit to him if he is not leading selflessly. Men appreciate feminine beauty, and male sexuality is a gift from God that needs to be matured and trained, not denied nor suppressed.
4. Genesis 1:1 Principle and the Law of Harmony: God did a magnificent job designing and engineering the Universe and building laws into it, including mathematics and physics. If we violate those laws, God, as a general rule, will decline to violate the laws of Cause and Effect to do a miracle. He does not say yes to âDaddy do my homework for meâ prayers.
5. Agathos believes in categories of Sin, the worst of which is âSins of Malice.â Sins of Malice are those sins that cause harm to others. They include violence, gossip, judgmentalism, and condemnation. This is made worse when facts are distorted to do so. Sins of Selfishness are those sins that only hurt the one doing it. Sins of Connection are those sins that are motivated by a desire to connect. Agathos believes that the worst sins are those that hurt others, and we concern ourselves with those the most.
