    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

    What It Takes To Make A Difference

    What does it take to make such an impact on our society that God’s Word penetrates even the darkest corners of the region? Maybe one of the smallest book in the Bible has the answer.

    What it Takes to Change The World: The Book of Philemon is very interesting. Its probably a book we hear quoted the least out of all the books of the Bible and probably one that we look at the least. The book is a letter of Paul. But instead of a letter to a church, it’s a letter to a person – ...read more

    In Philemon 8-16, Paul demonstrates four principals of biblical mediation so that you can be equipped to reconcile two estranged believers 1. Appeal out of Love (v.8-9) 2. Acknowledge the Positive Changes (v.10-11) 3. Advocate Reconciliation (v.12-14

    Standing in the Gap The Ministry of Mediation (Reconcilliation) Have you ever found yourself “standing in the gap”? No, not the store. A different gap – one that separates two believers. Two Christians (relatives, friends, co-workers, or maybe even co-laborers in Christ) who have set themselves ...read more

    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

    Forgiveness in Philemon

    In this study of forgiveness we have seen with scriptural support the 3 principles of forgiveness ... 1. Forgive those who sin against you. 2. Forgive and be forgiven. 3. If you don’t forgive you won’t be forgiven. At first glance these rules can seem cold and hard ... because scriptures ...read more
