J.L. Roberts School of Religion: Layman's Night

Laymen's Night | Dr. Tariq Z. Cummings First Gethsemane Baptist Church "Push Me Back Out There" Luke 5:1-11 (NKJV) Welcome to Laymen's Night at the 157th Annual Session of the Central District Baptist Association and J.L. Roberts School of Religion 2026! Tonight, we are honored to welcome Dr. Tariq Z. Cummings of First Gethsemane Baptist Church as he shares a timely and encouraging message entitled, "Push Me Back Out There." Drawing from Luke 5:1-11, Dr. Cummings will explore the moment Jesus challenged Simon Peter to launch out into deeper waters after a season of disappointment and empty nets. This powerful message reminds us that God often calls us to trust Him beyond our comfort zones, renew our faith after setbacks, and step back into purpose with confidence and obedience. "Nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net." — Luke 5:5 (NKJV) As part of this year's theme, "Be Transformed" (Romans 12:2), tonight's worship experience will challenge believers to move beyond fear, frustration, and failure, trusting God to do something extraordinary when we are willing to go back out at His command. 📍 Host Church: Bates Memorial Baptist Church 📍 620 Lampton Street, Louisville, KY 40203 📅 June 23, 2026 🕕 Worship Begins at 6:00 PM Thank you for worshiping with us.
