When Jesus reached out and touched the bier of the widow’s dead son, the funeral procession was stopped dead in its tracks. Like the prophets Elijah and Elisha before Him, Jesus raised the only child of a woman in need. When Jesus touches death, it can only mean life. Above all, in Christ’s cross, He destroyed death by His death (2 Timothy 1:10). Christ touched death, and death was overcome by His resurrection life. When our sin and its deadly consequences are touched by Jesus in Baptism, we are united to His death and resurrection. So we are now “dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus” (Romans 6:11).

In His Image Conference: Navigating Christian Sexuality in a Post-Christian Culture
Presented by DOXOLOGY: The Lutheran Center for Spiritual Care and Counsel
Saturday, May 10, 2025 9:00am-4:00pm @ St. Stephen Lutheran Church
With the legal redefinition of marriage, the confusion regarding gender, and rapidly changing
sexual mores in society, biblical educators, pastors, singles, couples, and parents are looking for
guidance in articulating and promoting a positive view of the Christian vision for marriage and
sexuality. Our goal is to equip people with tools to speak constructively and to live confidently
amid the current confusion.
Presenters:
Rev. David Fleming is a parish pastor and Executive Director of Spiritual Care for DOXOLOGY.
Dr. Beverly Yahnke is a clinical psychologist and Executive Director for Christian Counsel for DOXOLOGY.
