    Once Useless Now Useful: The story of Onesimus; the story of Paul; the story of us all.

    My father has a knack for finding and fixing discarded bicycles. Bikes that are considered useless by most become useful in the hands of this skilled mechanic. Of course everyone knows that with a bit of duct tape anything can be made useful again. Does that work on people too? Can those who ...read more

    Found Useful

    We have been purchased by the blood of Christ. We have been found to be useful by the King. Running away from God is not fullfiling the purpose that we have been called. Remember the slave tag, "If I should escape seize me and send me back to my master."

    “FOUND USEFUL” Return Me To The Master Reference: Philemon 1:1-25 Reverend Daniel A. Wheat Introduction: Have any of you ever asked someone to write a letter of recommendation?

    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 A DIFFERENCE CHRIST MAKES! Text: the N.T. book of Philemon Introduction- The Bible says in 2nd Corinthians 5:17- "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." We can see ...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

    ------------- Philemon 1:18-19 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that on mine account; I Paul have written [it] with mine own hand, I will repay [it]: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides. --------------- This is a story which teaches ...read more

    Paul’s plea for Onesimus shows his willingness to redeem his friend before his master. A Christ-like example of redemption and justification.

    In Philemon 17-19, we will see how we are like Onesimus in 3 ways so that we will supremely value our salvation in Christ. We have 1.) An Undeserved Substitute (v. 17) 2.) An Unpayable Debt (v.18) 3.) An Unbelievable Payment (v.19)

    CHARGE THAT TO MY ACCOUNT (Philemon 17-19) INTRODUCITON: Many of you have asked why I left my last church.

    This is a study in Philemon.

    CHRISTIAN FORGIVENESS Philemon Just because a book of the Bible is small in length does not mean it is small in meaning. Philemon is one of these books.

    A study on the unique letter from Paul to Philemon "requesting" the forgiveness of his returning runaway slave Oneisimus.

    The letter to Philemon is sandwiched in between Titus and Hebrews, it is one of a small group of personal letters that Paul wrote. Surely there were more of these but these are the ones in our Bible. They are grouped together and include 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon. All of Paul’s teaching ...read more
