Philemon is hard to categorize. About all we can do is throw it under "Paul's authorship," but otherwise it's hard to throw it in categories. The fact that it's a rather personal letter that made it to the rest of the canon might make us wonder the Holy Spirit's intentions in its eternal awareness. But we find it takes an overwhelming theme of the Bible and applies it to its very literal reality.

The Thessalonians, like many Christians today, did seem to have a preoccupation with the end of the world that Paul had to answer in his letters to them. But in and around those teachings about the end of the world, Paul did give some advice on how to live in light of that end.

Four snippets: Really, they’re just four passages lifted from these four letters of Paul to four churches. I had no intention to seek to connect them per-say, they just interested me and perhaps therefore might interest you this Sunday. And some of them did connect as I thought about it and wrote my sermon.

Corinth, you must recognize, perhaps in the heart of Paul was a place that would test Paul’s faith in Christ’s ability to redeem. Does Christ really own the whole world? Can He really save the likes of Corinth? I once read a post going around on social media, “If St. Paul were alive today, the Church in America would be getting a letter,” friends America already got a letter, two actually, and its the letters to the Church in Corinth!

Paul says two manifestations of the Righteousness of God have been given to us. The first, we cannot acquire, we fall short. The latter, in all of its good news, is a gift: imputed onto us out of God's grace and kindness. This is the core of Romans!

What do you think people mean by that statement: “I wish the Church was more like the church of Acts?” In which ways? What did the early Church have that we don't have?

Surrounding the Resurrection of Jesus were doubters from the unlikeliest of places. What do they teach us about doubters today, and what is the one persisting factor in such doubt that turns all doubters on their heads? Where's the hope?! Where it always is!

So what? Why is it important if you, or I, Christian believe in Jesus in this way, that He’s fully man and fully God? One word. Mediator.

The Northern Israelites, if the paid any mind to the prophet from the south, Isaiah, could have wondered just who this Gideon figure was that would break their oppressor?! Their oppressor was Assyria! The Messiah comes several years later, and He's not breaking oppressive rods that anybody expected, He breaks a rod much more oppressive: sin!

Who were the prophets of the books who bear their name in the Old Testament? Why is hard to read them? What were they all about? And do their prophecies contain the sensational, future-predicting stuff like Nostradamus, or what DO they contain? We answer all of that here...

As we continue an overview of the Bible, we find in Solomon's books a search and unpacking for the meaning of life. We also find that where Solomon painted the background of the picture, he leaves a silhouette only Jesus fulfills.

In this overview of the Psalms, the biggest book of the Bible, we go through such an overview only hitting the tip of the iceberg: Christ from the Psalms, how the Psalms inform our conscience, and how the Psalms help us converse with God.

This is what we need to remember, and if we miss this, we miss Job. Because many people, myself included even after I came to this truth, this fact, what this book is about… many of us think, “Job - oh that’s about suffering. That’s why bad things happen to good people. That’s about the mystery of suffering.” This isn't so, and the book itself says so.
