Our vision is to see the Gospel transform everything – ourselves as individuals, our church, our city, and the world.
By 2020, we desire to see that vision expressed in our church as a body of thousands of people, gathering in locations throughout the Louisville area, and planting churches all over the world that draw many more un-churched people into a relationship with God.
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!”
—Revelation 21:5
“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8
Before attending Sojourn, this passage was a source of pride that puffed of my glory, not God’s. I believed I was a good Christian who sinned infrequently. I was just, kind, and humble…so I thought.
After attending Sojourn, experiencing real community, and learning under Gospel-centered preaching, I realized I am a prideful person who sins quite frequently.
I have come to realize the wonderful model of humility the life of Christ provides. Christ’s life teaches me about humility, but the cross daily humbles me. My inflated view of myself was slowly deflated at the cross. I have learned to look to the cross to see my sin, my sin that isn’t minimized but is like filthy rags desperately in need of forgiveness and redemption. I pray that I don’t stray far from the cross.
I am now learning to walk humbly with my God. Walk in a manner worthy of our call to love God and love others. This transformation is not in any way the result of my work; there is not room to boast. Instead, it stands as an eternal testimony to God’s glorious grace.
