PROCLAIMING THE MYSTERIES OF GOD<br />

PROCLAIMING THE MYSTERIES OF GOD<br />

Proclaiming the Mysteries of God is the theme for the 2012 Pacific Southwest District<br />

<strong>Convention</strong>, based on the following bible passages:<br />

1 Corinthians 15:50-51 I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom,<br />

not does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all<br />

sleep, but we shall all be changed<br />

Ephesians 3:1-6 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you<br />

Gentiles—assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace which was given<br />

to me for you, how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, “as I have written<br />

briefly. When you read this, you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, which<br />

was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to<br />

hid holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit. The mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow<br />

heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ through the gospel.<br />

Colossians 1:24-27 Now I now rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am<br />

filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, that is, the church,<br />

of which I have become a minister according to the stewardship from God that has been<br />

given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, the mystery hidden for ages and<br />

generations but revealed to his saints. To them God chose to make known how great<br />

among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery which is Christ in you, the<br />

hope of glory.<br />
