Appealing for Onesimus - Philemon 8-16

2/28/24 – Wednesday Evening Service. A continuation of our study of the Famous and Infamous from scripture. Models and examples from the characters' lives that have come before us.

Paul instructs Philemon on how, as a child of God, he should receive his runaway slave, Onesimus. By commanding Philemon to receive Onesimus as more than a slave, but as a brother, forgiving his debts, and graciously accepting him into his home. In doing so, Paul commands Philemon, like all Christians, to relate to believers in a way that illustrates the Gospel and imitates what Christ did for the lost.

What does it take to follow Jesus. Here Peter, Andrew, James and John are called to leave everything and follow Jesus. But are we all called to leave everything? What is it about this call to these men? How can we make an application here? Is this one verse sufficient?   What about what Paul's instruction to Onesimus (Philemon 10)? Onesimus was a slave of Philemon. He apparently escaped and ended up in prison with Paul. Paul gives him a letter to take to Philemon where Paul asks Philemon to forgive Onesimus. This is a great story of redemption, but it also shows the calling of different people.   I think most of us are called to stay where we are. Mike said that was his story, too. His career took him to a number of places, but he never went to work for the church until he started Follower of One. How can this apply to us today?    Reflect on Mike's definition of ministry. You can leave your ambitions and your goals and stay in your present job as a fully-funded missionary - someone who lives on-mission with Jesus. Want to try? Head over to MarketplaceMissionTrip.com and sign up for the next Marketplace Mission Trip where you can try this out. There's a trip starting this Sunday and if you don't hear this message when it goes live, there will be other trips. Just check the dates at MarketplaceMissionTrip.com.

Over the Summer break, our services are a shorter devotion time, and in this first week, Ernie Pene looks at the story of Onesimus from the book of Philemon. After reflecting over the testimonies we've heard at the evening services in 2020, Ernie goes over the story of Onesimus and his journey. He reads the letter that Paul wrote to Philemon, the master of Onesimus, and breaks it down into four areas for discussion as he covers the three people that are in this letter. Ernie looks at how Philemon may have reacted to the letter once he received it with Onesimus in front of him. Recorded at the Hukanui Bible Church morning service on Sunday the 27th of December 2020 during the 10:00 am service.

Letters from Prison - Philemon 1:1-25 As we draw this second letter from prison to a close, there are two outstanding questions that remain for our consideration: First, will Philemon forgive Onesimus, his runaway slave? Second, whatever happened to Onesimus after returning home? Will Philemon Forgive? Will You? Matthew Henry cited 14 arguments, that Paul used in verses 8 through 21, to convince Philemon to receive and forgive Onesimus: Philemon's love for all the saints (v. 8); Paul's authority (v. 8); The basis of Paul's appeal being love, rather than authority (v. 9); Paul's age and his condition as a prisoner (v. 9); Paul's spiritual relationship to Onesimus (v. 10); Philemon's own interest (v. 11); Paul's love for Onesimus (v. 12); Paul's self-denial in parting with Onesimus (vv. 13-14); The assurance that Onesimus would not run away again (v. 15); Onesimus' relationship to Philemon as his spiritual brother (v. 16); Onesimus' identification with Paul (v. 17); Paul's promise to pay Onesimus' debt to Philemon (vv. 18-19); The joy that Paul would receive by Philemon's acquiescence (v. 20); Paul's good opinion of Philemon (v. 21). If I could give you 14 reasons to forgive someone, would you do it? How about if I just gave you one? The primary reason to forgive: Jesus. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/shcc/message

Greetings may seem unimportant, but don’t be too quick to dismiss them. When you’re on the frontlines serving and missing home, a greeting from someone who cares and gives some encouragement is life-giving! Colossians 4 gives us a rare glimpse into what was happening in cities across the Roman Empire in the first century: Christ was being preached, prayers were fervently prayed as letters and gospels were written , leaving us an unmistakable picture of faith and conviction amidst hardship. If you are trying to have a quiet time, getting started in a relationship with God or seeking guidance at this point in your life, you're in the right place.In fifteen minutes or less you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day. It's a perfect way to get started!In season four we're praying through some of the letters in the Bible. We finish Colossians as Paul and Timothy send greetings to believers in Colossae and final instructions for how to carry on the work of the gospel. Ancient letters usually ended with greetings, and the New Testament letters give us a portrayal of how intensely social and close-knit the early Christian communities were as they carried the gospel with urgency and purpose. Colossians 4 begins by urging prayer and dedication to the task of sharing the gospel. The early Christians were not bookish types writing their gospels, letters or other writings safely in a university or private study. They were on the frontlines, contesting in the marketplace and taking care of the poor and sick and hungry as they faced misunderstanding and persecution. The greetings that Paul and Timothy share not only give us insight into how churches related to one another or how letters and teachers were shared, they also embody the essence of Christian living. Listen to the end and strive to make the application practical today. As we read the letters we grow closer to God and realize we can't exhaust the riches in each part of scripture that we cover.

The ethical ideal of the Christian life is not something you attain by willpower or individual effort alone. Only Christ’s power activated within a person makes the moral demands of following Christ possible. Colossians 3 takes us from the truth about what is into the everyday world of what should be, how we should live out the reality of "Christ in you." If you are trying to have a quiet time, getting started in a relationship with God or seeking guidance at this point in your life, you're in the right place.In fifteen minutes or less you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day. It's a perfect way to get started!In season four we're praying through some of the letters in the Bible. We continue with Colossians as Paul and Timothy work out the implications of Christ at the center of it all. Paul's letters have a similar plot or structure: they begin with theology, teaching truth about what is based on what God has done and who he is, then they move into practical application or teaching about how to live this out in the real world. In today's section, we transition from theology into practical instruction. Colossians 3 reminds us of what we were apart from Christ and also appeals to us to live in the power of what Christ has done in us and not go back to earlier ways of sensual indulgence and fleshly thinking. How this is lived out in concrete relationships is also highlighted. Above all, love is the goal and the uniting principle. All virtues are united and harmonized in love. Christ taught that it is the most important commandment and applies toward both God and humans. Some possible verses from this episode to meditate on are Colossians 3:14 and 15-16. Make the application practical today. Lean on Christ and his power and don't rely on willpower alone.As we read the letters we grow closer to God and realize we can't exhaust the riches in each part of scripture that we cover.

It’s dangerous to have a shallow faith. When life’s storms come along, that faith won’t stand. Paul and Timothy imprisoned and writing this letter knew that. Even as they praised the Colossians for having a vibrant, living faith, they encouraged and warned them about being uprooted. Colossians 2 is about being rooted in Christ, filled with his fulness of divine power, not settling for human substitutes or spiritual counterfeits.If you are trying to have a quiet time, getting started in a relationship with God or seeking guidance at this point in your life, you're in the right place.In fifteen minutes or less you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day. It's a perfect way to get started!In season four we're praying through some of the letters in the Bible. We continue with Colossians as Paul and Timothy work out the implications of Christ at the center of it all. Christ's work for us at the cross is finished and complete; Christ's work in us continues as we grow in him and fully live out all that it means to seek the things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father. Colossians 2 also shows us more about the dangerous teaching that was circulating that competed with the true gospel. Some of it was drawn from the Jewish roots of Christianity, and there were also some strange practices that mixed Jewish rituals with pagan mysticism and spiritism. We don't have all the details. But the main point that comes through is these other practices were not based on Christ and they did nothing to help you live a life that looked like Christ. True spirituality is found in Christ. Full spiritual expression is found in his life alive in you. Some possible verses from this episode to meditate on are Colossians 2:9-10, 12-13, 20, or 3:1-3. Make the application in a tangible way today. Make Christ the focus and go further than you have before.As we read the letters we grow closer to God and realize we can't exhaust the riches in each part of scripture that we cover.

Have you ever stumbled upon something of surpassing beauty, which took your breath away and humbled you at the same time? It affects you so that you can’t turn away unchanged. The hymn about Christ in Colossians 1 is a lot like that. As Paul and Timothy develop their letter they focus attention on Christ, the center not just of the Christian community but of all God's work in the universe! If you are trying to have a quiet time, getting started in a relationship with God or seeking guidance at this point in your life, you're in the right place.In fifteen minutes or less you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day. It's a perfect way to get started!In season four we're praying through some of the letters in the Bible. We continue with Colossians and Paul appeals to an early Christian hymn to Christ as he builds his case that all the mysteries of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ. He writes this letter so that the Colossians are firmly anchored in their faith and not led astray by those who don't uphold the supremacy of Christ. Two big truths in this portion of the letter include: Jesus Christ is supreme, first in all categories, and all mysteries, all wisdom and knowledge are contained “in Christ”. These high truths should stretch us, they should help us to grow further than we have so far. Make the application in a tangible way today. Make Christ the focus and go further than you have before.As we read the letters we grow closer to God and realize we can't exhaust the riches in each part of scripture that we cover.

What’s missing in our culture today are courtesies, those words of respect, graciousness and sincere regard at the beginning of a conversation, a visit, a letter. So much is often said in those first few words if you only listen! We get to hear how Paul and Timothy greet the believers in Colossae today and catch a glimpse of how to pray for others to grow in their faith. If you are trying to have a quiet time, getting started in a relationship with God or seeking guidance at this point in your life, you're in the right place.In fifteen minutes or less you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day. It's a perfect way to get started!We are at the start of season four and praying through some of the letters in the Bible. Today we start one of Paul's shorter letters which has some very deep ideas and practical instruction, Colossians. The letters are unusual because we only hear one side of a two-way conversation. We have to try to understand in some part the other side of the conversation if we want to hear God's word for us in these writings. Paul and Timothy write to the Colossians, believers who lived in a small Greek city about 100 miles inland from Ephesus in modern-day Turkey. Most likely Philemon lives in Colossae and these two letters (Philemon and Colossians) are carried at the same time to this city perhaps by Tychicus. Paul mentions another letter we don't have that he writes to Laodicea, a city about 10 miles west of Colossae that any traveler from Ephesus would have passed through first. Paul intends for his letters to each of the churches to be exchanged and read in each assembly. Where do you need filling with God’s truth? Head, heart, feet, hands, will, emotions or spirit? If you know, make that your prayer today. If you don’t, I suggest you start with head and heart--knowledge, wisdom and understanding—and ask God to fill you. And whatever you have received, wherever you have gotten your fill, make it your job to share some of that with others today. We are using the letters to grow closer to God as season four starts. We can't exhaust the riches in each part of scripture we cover, but you can go deeper into them on your own using our four step process.

A fundamental problem of humans is our tendency to think we’re free while living under the influence or control of people and ideas that we seem blind to. When Christ comes into our life, we are set free from all of that and that’s really good news! Listen to the short letter to Philemon today and learn more about the freedom and responsibilities of love. If you are trying to have a quiet time, getting started in a relationship with God or seeking guidance at this point in your life, you're in the right place.In fifteen minutes or less you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day. It's a perfect way to get started!We are starting season four and praying through some of the letters in the Bible. Today we start with Paul's shortest letter which is very warm and personal, Philemon. The letters are unusual because we are only hearing one side of a two-way conversation. We have to try to understand in some part the other side of the conversation if we want to hear God's word for us in these writings. Paul and Timothy write to Philemon, an early Christian who was probably well off and owned slaves which was quite common in the Roman world. Onesimus is likely a runaway slave who has since become a Christian, connected with Paul, and now he is returning to his master with this letter from Paul asking Philemon to receive Onesimus as he would Paul--his debt cleared and free to serve the gospel. Apart from the dynamic of slavery in the background, the relationship between Paul and Philemon and the love shown and requested are in focus. Paul could have made some demands and exercised power over Philemon; instead he appeals to him as a brother who is free to decide and who is influenceable to "do the right thing." There's a lot for us to learn here about how to treat other people as well. We are using the letters to grow closer to God as season four starts.

Paul's Plea For Onesimus Philemon 1:1-25 10 Feb 2015 Edward Ibberson PM Short and Sweet

Onesimus was a runaway slave who left his master and encountered Jesus through Paul. Often when we are tempted to runaway from difficult circumstances and people we need to return and forgive or make things right; facing the thing we are avoiding in order to be restored.

Characters • Philemon- slave owner of Onesimus; church at Colossae probably met in his house. • Apphia- likely Philemon’s wife (called “sister” in the letter) • Archippus- child of Philemon and Apphia? a leader in the church? • Onesimus- Philemon’s slave who had run away and encountered Paul Reconciliation • Vertical- We are reconciled to God through Jesus Christ • Horizontal- Reconciliation with God leads us to reconcile relationships with one another. Key Points in the Book of Philemon • Verse 6- Partnership/Fellowship as key to growing spiritually • Verses 8-9, 14- Appeal based on love and voluntary decision • Verses 15-17, 21- Jesus transforms/re-defines our relationships Pursuing the Ministry of Reconciliation 1. Full Understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ -What if the other person isn’t a Christian? -What if the other person doesn’t want to reconcile? 2. Recognize Role of Other Followers of Jesus 3. Courage to Address Consequences of Reconciliation Signs/Results of Reconciliation 1. Commitment to On-Going Reconciliation 2. Patience with Personal/Spiritual Growth 3. Sacrificing for the good of the other person 4. Focus on God's Kingdom Response -Have you been reconciled with God through Jesus Christ? -What relationships in your life need healing/reconciliation? -What steps do you need to take immediately to pursue reconciliation?

Philemon 1

Matt Aroney preaches on the beginning of friendships. Reflecting upon David and Jonathan (1 Sam 17:48-18:9) as well as Paul and Onesimus (Philemon).

In this sermon Pastor Miller interviews the slave known as Onesimus. Onesimus had ran away from his master Philemon and had met Paul in Rome.
