    The Transforming Gospel

    Paul makes a special plea to his friend Philemon concerning his run-away slave but now a Christian, showing how the gospel transforms all relationships.

    THE TRANSFORMING GOSPEL Letter writing is almost a lost art. We’d rather pick up the phone or dash off an e-mail but I’m glad that Paul used pen and ink. Doubtless Paul, being a man of letters and bubbling over with ideas for the spread of the gospel, must have written many ...read more

    Are you a profitable servant?

    Philemon A lot of people neglect this little book between Titus and Hebrews. My guess is because it deals with a subject that is a political hot potato. No one wants to discuss slavery. Many folks wonder why Paul did not just tell Philemon to sell all his slaves now that he is a Christian. ...read more

    When we consider God’s purpose for our lives as a result of God’s grace, we will see the consequences of life as opportunities to serve God and to be effective witnesses for the gospel.

    Do you see every circumstance of your life as an opportunity to be a witness for the gospel? Throughout your lifetime, you will have many opportunities to serve Christ as a witness for the gospel. There will be times in your life when it is easy to serve the gospel, especially when everything ...read more

    Introduction to Philemon

    PHILEMON - Equality INTRODUCTION: Philemon was the 10th Epistle written by Paul. It was one of the four Epistles written by Paul from his Roman jail. It is the smallest and most personal of all Paul’s Letters. It has been called “a postcard with a punch”. It deals with the question, “How do you ...read more

    Amazing Grace Sunday

    AMAZING GRACE Philemon When, in England, William Wilberforce initiated his long campaign to outlaw slavery in the British Empire, he did not act as a social reformer. He was moved by Christian compassion: he acted because he cared about those helpless chattels that the majority in his day viewed ...read more

    Pauline's Imitation Of Jesus' Intercession

    based on 6 ratings
     | 2,207 views

    The Intercessor does not say, " I’m such a nice guy that you aught to heed my appeal" nor does He say, "The sinners obeyed sometimes in some things so remember those times". The cost for sine is mandatory death (Rom. 6:23). That was the required price Jes

    Theme: Pauline’s imitation of Jesus’ intercession Scripture: Philemon 1:17 By: Nche Sam Takoh Paul as an example or figure of Jesus Christ is considered as an advocate, and intercessor who pleads on behalf of his kindred. This is typical in the case of Onesimus in Philemon 1:17, a representative ...read more

    Final in a three part series exploring the role of the church in the city. This message explores the book of Philemon, and the role the church has played in cities through the centuries.

    It was a hand delivered letter. It arrived at his home. He opened it, and read it. (Had loaded a copy of the book of Philemon from "the message" into an envelope.

    The book probably doesn’t turn heads because of the subject matter. It’s about a slave. Actually, it’s about a runaway slave named Onesimus who had stolen something from his master, Philemon and ran away to avoid being caught. The Book of Philemon

    What do we do when someone has wronged us? We know that we must forgive, but when is restoration necessary? Paul’s letter to Philemon gives us some insights into when it is appropriate to restore someone who has wronged us.

    How to Treat One who has Wronged You Philemon Over the next four weeks we will be taking a look at how to treat what we often ignore. These messages will come from four of the smallest books in the Bible, all one-chapter books. Today we’re going to walk through the book of Philemon and then next ...read more
