Friday night was hopping at the Midtown campus with over 100 couples learning together and enjoying desserts in the art gallery and dancing in the Listening Room.
Lachlan & Terri Coffey warmed up the crowd with some fun games and book give-a-ways then Brooks and Lauren Ritter helped to prepare our hearts through worship. The grand prize was a gift certificate to Proof Restaurant.
Pastor Robert and his bride Karen taught about our tendency as husbands and wives to look for perfection in our imperfect marriages. In most instances, it’s not our imperfect spouse who shatters our dreams but God.
Learn how you can take the everyday opportunities in your marriage to draw near to your perfect Redeemer AND your imperfect spouse so that you can both experience God’s love and participate in his redemptive mission. Listen and follow along with the teaching audio and PDF material found below.

Homosexuality is a huge issue facing the church. What do we say or do? How can we help? Can the gospel bring redemption? There is an exciting conference coming to Louisville September 20-21 designed to answer these and so many more question that we all have.
“Homosexuality & the Church” is a free mini-conference sponsored by The Way Out, and is designed to equip both pastors and ministry leaders to better understand same-sex attraction so they can more effectively minister to individuals impacted by homosexuality. This is a special opportunity for Sojourners to gain the tools they need for reaching out to those who struggle with same-sex attractions, and to their families and loved ones.
Register by Monday September 5 and you will get a free lunch on Wednesday. Invite friends to come to this much-needed time of equipping!
For more information and registration, check out their website: www.thewayoutlouisville.com
See you there!

I want to let you know about a marriage conference that’s going to be held at Crestwood Baptist Church August 12 (7-9 p.m.) and August 13 (8:30 a.m. - Noon) led by a dear friend and mentor, especially in the topic in which he is speaking.

God designed the gospel to shape and inform all that we do and he calls us to live out the gospel to accomplish his mission of redemption. Part two of Ministering in the Aftermath of Adultery seeks to teach participants how to engage husband and wife with a gospel perspective when dealing with the repercussions of adultery. In light of God’s gospel message and redemptive mission, we see in this training how gospel realities illuminate a new perspective on the sin and suffering of both the offending spouse and offended spouse.
This time of equipping was a little different than most, as it was not primarily in lecture format, but instead participants were given the opportunity to engage in interactive discussion. Those in attendance found this form of training to be very helpful, and we were encouraged by how quickly they were able to speak to the aspects of both spouse’s perspectives that were not reflective of the gospel.
Although there are moments in this recorded interactive training when the sound is a little more difficult to hear, we encourage you to take the time to listen to this very informative and applicable teaching. As you are listening, feel free to pause the recording and consider how you would respond to each example with a gospel perspective before you hear the recorded responses. To listen to the complete teaching and download the PDF material visit our Equipping Resources Page and find “Ministering in the Aftermath of Adultery-Part 2″.
