This message is from Philemon 8-25. Conflict is a real part of life. Because of sin, there will always be need for reconciliation in our marriages, in our families, and in our church. In Part 2 we’ll consider the conflict between Onesimus and Philemon and seek to answer the question, “How does the gospel lead to reconciliation?”
A Portrait of the Gospel - Part 1
This message is from Philemon 1-25. In Paul’s New Testament letters we read about the gospel; he defines it, explains it, and applies it. However, in the letter to Philemon he doesn’t do any of that. Instead he shows us how the gospel is lived. In particular, he shows us how the gospel is lived out in relationships with others and especially in situations of conflict.
