Coming Up at Wesley Chapel

Greetings,

This week in the life of Wesley Chapel is an outstanding example of the uniqueness of our fellowship. How? This week we have the opportunity to be blessed by our relationship with Wesley Biblical Seminary in the annual Transform:ED conference and the opening convocation exercises. Dr. Gareth Cockerill will be lecturing this week for the conference and, of course, all of you who can are invited to attend these lectures. Dr. Cockerill will be speaking on the doctrine of Christian holiness and the call to Christ-like living as it presented from the New Testament book of Hebrews. Dr Cockerill is one of the leading experts in the world today on the Book of Hebrews and is a nationally-recognized and acclaimed scholar of the New Testament. That's right, right here in our "back yard" at Wesley Chapel we have the opportunity to hear a tremendous scholar speak, but a scholar who first and foremost loves God, loves the Church and loves people. In addition to his scholarship, Dr Cockerill spent 12 years as a missionary to Sierra Leone in west Africa. This cross cultural and pastoral experience makes him very adept as presenting deep biblical truths in practical ways that people can embrace and engage.

Also, in our fellowship we have one of the seminary's outstanding graduates Ghuna Kumar. He is here to be honored by the seminary for his outstanding work for the Kingdom of God in his native India, where he has baptized over 10,000 Hindus into the Christian faith. Some there have referred to him as "the Apostle Paul of India." He will be speaking in our morning worship service this coming Sunday.

These are opportunities that not only do you not want to miss, but you want to invite others to experience. So, let me encourage you to call your friends--especially persons who are not active in a church or are looking for a church home--and tell them about the exciting things that are happening for WBS and Wesley Chapel this week.

See you where we worship God,

Pastor Steve
