    Unpacking Paul's role in Philemon as well as the underlying meaning in the text

    Good Evening. Whenever I preach a sermon – a fair amount of the time I spend on it – is spent looking for illustrations to help explain and convey a meaning or a concept a bit better – a story that would 'bring it home' as such. Tonight however – our reading is the ...read more

    Even when we feel like demanding or presuming, we have to be careful to do what is right. Thus we must develop the art of making ethical requests.

    Requesting Or Demanding? (Philemon 8-22) 1. I remember a woman raising a stink at the downtown post office. She complained that her mail was not in the box, and it was past 8:30 AM.

    The word Onesimus means "useful" and that is what we become when we are repaired, when we forgive, when we do not give up, and when we encounter the Gospel.
