Living in Babylon: A Call to Christian Faithfulness During 'Pride Month' by Matthew Emadi, Pastor

The book of Philemon is a one-page, often overlooked gem in our New Testament where the apostle Paul finds himself in the middle of a delicate situation. Church leader Philemon and his slave Onesimus have had a falling out, and Onesimus ran away to Rome where he found Paul in prison. Paul hopes to bring reconciliation by sending Onesimus back to Philemon, not as a slave but as a brother in Christ. In this letter to Philemon we see a beautiful depiction of the theology of the cross on display that still speaks to us in powerful way today.

When Pharaoh refused to let God's people go again, God brought darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness that could be felt. Egypt was in the dark literally and spiritually. They were spiritually blind refusing to obey the one true and living God.

God expected Moses and the Israelites to tell the story of the Exodus to their children and grandchildren. As Christians, we too must teach our children the great story of God's redemption.

In our world today, marriage is viewed as unnecessary, and outdated. God shows us the importance of marriage through the pages of scripture, and that it's not only a gift to humanity, but it's also a picture of a greater marriage; the marriage of Christ and his church.

God sovereignly raised up Pharaoh so that he could display his power over Pharaoh. The glory of God's name is the goal of redemption.

The Lord afflicted the Egyptians with boils on their skin for Pharaoh's refusal to let Israel go. The plague is a reminder that God is sovereign over the human body.

In a surprising dream at Bethel, Jacob is encountered by the God who promises to be with him. As new covenant believers, we have even greater promises in Jesus who is, quite literally, God with us.

The plagues fell on Egypt, but God's grace left Israel unscathed. Only two groups exist: those who belong to the world and those who belong to God. God's people must worship Him as He has commanded them without compromising.

At his crucifixion, people mocked Jesus but they didn't realize that what they said to spite him was actually true. He is the King of Israel whose resurrection vindicates his life and teaching.

Matthew chapters 21–23 are part of one literary unit showing Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of David. He is the king of Jerusalem, but Jerusalem's leadership opposes him. We must not oppose Jesus, but submit to him as the Davidic King.

The plagues on Egypt continue in Exodus 8. The plagues are an act of judgment and a revelation of God's power and glory. God afflicts Egypt so that Pharaoh will understand Moses' words: "There is no one like the Lord our God."

Psalm 1 describes the blessed man. He is one who meditates on God's word, trusts God's word, and follows God's word.

Moses and Aaron perform signs to Pharaoh, but Pharaoh's servants imitate the signs through their secret arts. Pharaoh's heart remains hardened and he refuses to let Israel go.

After Pharaoh and Israel reject Moses, Moses questions whether he is really the right man for leading the Exodus. God not only recommissions Moses, but the genealogy of the Levites proves that God makes no mistakes.

Every Christian will experience suffering in this life. But as intense as suffering might be now, it cannot compare to the glory that is going to be revealed.
