  Weekly News fromWCUMC-2/03/2013 Sharing the transforming love of Jesus, across the street and around the world. "Co-Heirs Through the Gospel" 'Basic Training for Followers of Christ This plan is that the Gentiles would be co-heirs and parts of the same body, and that they would share with the Jews in the promises of God in Christ Jesus through the gospel. God sent me to reveal the secret plan that had been hidden since the beginning of time by God, who created everything. God's purpose is now to show the rulers and powers in the heavens the many different varieties of his wisdom through the church. This was consistent with the plan he had from the beginning of time that he accomplished through Christ Jesus our Lord. In Christ we have bold and confident access to God through faith in him. Ephesians 3:6, 9-12 God's "plan" was important for Paul It revealed his mission to go to the Gentiles. He learned his responsibility was to share God's plan with all. God's "plan" was important for the Gentiles. They became "co-heirs" with the people of God, the Jews. Gentiles now shared in the spiritual riches of Israel.

This one-day conference, featuring keynote speaker Jon Kitna, former NFL Quarterback, and multiple breakout seminars led by excellent teachers, will provide Christian men and teens with practical tools, resources and encouragement to help them lead lives of integrity and honor in the face of sexual temptation and destructive messages that bombard them daily.
