Philemon IntroductionThanks to everyone who supports TMBH at patreon.com/thetmbhpodcastYou're the reason we can all do this together!Discuss the episode hereMusic by Jeff Foote
This oft-overlooked little epistle of the New Testament is very likely the first extant work of Christian literature—characterized by the apostle Paul's intense pastoral love for his congregation in Thessalonica and comforting hope in the return on the clouds of the Lord Jesus. In this episode Dad and I dig into both these themes, the abundance of family language (some of it startling, to say the least!), explore non-creepy ways to affirm the Parousia, and note early themes of Paul that will stay the course as well as undergo development on the way to his late Epistles.

When Philemon, a prominent member of the Christian congregation in Colossae, needs pastoral care, St. Paul writes to him in humility. The Apostle gives thanks for the fruit of faith that Philemon has brought forth and appeals to Philemon to bring forth that same fruit now toward his runaway slave, Onesimus. St. Paul reminds Philemon that Onesimus is now a fellow brother in Christ who has been useful to St. Paul while in prison and now will be the same to Philemon when Onesimus returns. St. Paul imitates the example of Christ in promising to pay any debt on behalf of Onesimus, even as the Apostle expresses confidence that Philemon will receive Onesimus in Christian love. Rev. Jacob Dandy, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church and School in Atchison, KS, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Philemon 1-25.

Even when Paul was imprisoned for the sake of Christ, the Word of God remained unbound. The apostle's letters from prison still fill us with the same joy that his chains could never silence.

As the Apostle Paul began his letter to the Colossians by speaking of his prayers for them, so he concludes his letter by asking the Colossians to pray for him. Their prayers should be steadfast in thanksgiving and ask God to open the door for Paul to preach the Word, even though he is currently in prison. The Word of God that Christians speak is true and gracious, and Christians look for opportunities to speak in the wisdom God provides. Before St. Paul finishes his letter, he extends greetings from a variety of his fellow workers, revealing the glorious connections that believers have to each other in Christ. Rev. John Bussman, pastor at St. Paul's Lutheran Church and School in Cullman, AL, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Colossians 4:2-18.

St. Paul does not leave his instruction for Christian life as vague theologizing. Rather, he instructs Christians on how to follow the Word of Christ in their closest relationships with each other. As Christians are given to live together as wives and husbands, as children and parents, and as workers and masters, we do so in Christ, that is, with the perspective that Christ has given us through His justifying grace.

Message by Pastor Doug Bunnell, recorded live November 9, 2025 at First Presbyterian Church of Bellingham. Scripture read by Kristen Frankland.Created and Treated EquallyIn the Kingdom all people are equal so we live out the subversive resistance by treating all people with equality.What transformation happened in Onesimus's life? How does this change things?How does verse 16 challenge cultural norms of the time (i.e., slavery)? "No longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother..."How can you apply Paul's appeal for reconciliation in your own relationships?What does Paul's willingness to pay Onesimus's debt reveal about his character?How does this letter speak to issues of human dignity, equality, and Christian fellowship—especially across social or economic divides?Philemon1 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,To our beloved coworker Philemon, 2 to our sister Apphia, to our fellow soldier Archippus, and to the church in your house:3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.4 I thank my God always when I mention you in my prayers, 5 because I hear of your love for all the saints and your faith toward the Lord Jesus. 6 I pray that the partnership of your faith may become effective as you comprehend all the good that we share in Christ. 7 I have indeed received much joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, my brother.8 For this reason, though I am more than bold enough in Christ to command you to do the right thing, 9 yet I would rather appeal to you on the basis of love—and I, Paul, do this as an old man and now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus. 10 I am appealing to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become during my imprisonment. 11 Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you and to me. 12 I am sending him, that is, my own heart, back to you. 13 I wanted to keep him with me so that he might minister to me in your place during my imprisonment for the gospel, 14 but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your good deed might be voluntary and not something forced. 15 Perhaps this is the reason he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back for the long term, 16 no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.17 So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. 18 If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge that to me. 19 I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay it. I say nothing about your owing me even your own self. 20 Yes, brother, let me have this benefit from you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ. 21 Confident of your obedience, I am writing to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.22 One thing more: prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be restored to you.23 Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you, 24 and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my coworkers.25 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
St. Paul grounds his teaching concerning the Christian life in the reality of Holy Baptism. There, Christians die and rise with Christ. Now, Christians daily put off the old way of life as a dirty garment that no one would ever want to wear. At the same time, Christians daily put on the life given by Christ. That life is bound together in forgiveness and love that comes as the Word of Christ dwells in us as we sing with each other and give thanks to God in all things. Rev.

Episode 2.55From a rented house in Rome, chained yet unbroken, Paul writes letters that overflow with gratitude and joy.In this episode, Zach and Michael explore how the apostle's identity has shifted—from fiery defender to faithful servant. No longer striving for approval, Paul sees his confinement not as defeat but as divine assignment.Drawing from Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon, this conversation uncovers how the gospel reframes hardship as opportunity and how maturity turns suffering into stewardship. Paul's chains become a metaphor for freedom: he's not Rome's prisoner, but Christ's ambassador.Covered in this episode:– What it means to be an “ambassador in chains”– The secret of contentment in Philippians 4– How suffering in Colossians becomes service for others– Why Philemon shows theology's true test: reconciliation– How limitation becomes God's classroom for joy and faithTakeaway:Freedom isn't the absence of chains—it's the presence of Christ.Paul's joy behind bars proves that the gospel's power isn't hindered by circumstances; it shines brightest through them.Find our videocast here: https://youtu.be/WzEnEt8QP2UMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stoneLicense code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Have you ever run from something—your past, your pain, or even your calling—only to find that God was waiting for you at the end of the road? In this message, From Slave to Sibling, we explore one of the shortest yet most transformative letters in the Bible: Paul's letter to Philemon. It's a story of a runaway slave named Onesimus, his master Philemon, and the Apostle Paul—three lives forever changed by the radical grace of Jesus Christ. Discover how the Gospel:Redefines relationships and identity through grace.Transforms fugitives into family.Calls us to forgiveness, reconciliation, and restoration.Shows that no one is beyond redemption and no relationship beyond repair.Whether you feel like Onesimus (running), Philemon (wrestling to forgive), or Paul (called to stand in the gap), this message will remind you that grace changes everythingTo support the ministry of Melbourne Inclusive Church go to: www.michurch.org.au/giveMelbourne Inclusive Church boldly and proudly proclaims Christ's equal love for all people regardless of their ability, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, gender, race, ethnicity, or culture.Melbourne Inclusive Church is part of the EMI Global family of churches.
St. Paul encourages Christians to live in light of the reality that we have been raised with Christ. Rather than seeking the things of man, Christians set their minds on the things taught by Christ, because He sits at the right hand of God. We have died to the life of the sinful flesh, and our lives are hidden with Christ. We have this life truly by faith right now, waiting and praying for the Day when we have it by sight when Christ our life appears. Rev.

Philemon 8-16
...fellowship of your faith...
September 24, 2025 - Wednesday PM Bible Class In this episode we dive into Ephesians chapter 3 as part of a continuing study of Paul's prison epistles (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon), written while Paul was under house arrest around AD 60–62. The speaker reviews major themes from Ephesians—spiritual blessings in Christ, the role of the Holy Spirit, grace through faith, God's eternal plan for redemption, and the unity of Jews and Gentiles in the church—before unpacking chapter 3 in detail. Key topics include Paul's self-identification as a prisoner of Christ for the Gentiles, his stewardship/dispensation of God's grace, and the revelation of the “mystery” that Gentiles are fellow heirs and members of the body of Christ through the gospel. The episode highlights Paul's humility and gratitude, his calling to minister to the Gentiles, and his emphasis on God's unsearchable, unfathomable riches in Christ. Chris connects these doctrinal points to pastoral application: how the first three chapters of Ephesians present doctrine and spiritual blessings, while chapters 4–6 move into practical instruction for Christian living. Paul's prayer for believers is examined—asking that they be strengthened in the inner man, that Christ dwell in their hearts, and that they comprehend (as much as possible) the width, length, depth, and height of Christ's love. The episode also explores the call to unity in the church (Ephesians 4), emphasizing humility, gentleness (meekness), patience, and bearing with one another in love as essential to maintaining the unity of the Spirit. Listeners will hear cross-references to Acts, 1 Corinthians, 1 Timothy, Philippians, and 1 Peter to illuminate Paul's ministry, his self-awareness as “less than the least,” and the broader biblical context of God's revealed plan. Expect reflections on prayer, spiritual maturity, the manifold wisdom of God revealed through the church, and practical challenges of walking worthy of the calling—living out humility, unity, and sacrificial love within the body of Christ.

Because Christ has triumphed in the cross, no one can judge Christians based on those things that Jesus has fulfilled. The Old Testament regulations concerning food and drink and Sabbaths are a shadow of the body of Christ who has now been revealed. Although false preachers peddle practices that may look religious, any worship or piety that does not teach us to cling to Christ has no value. Only Christ, the Head of the Church, can hold His body together and cause it to grow and bear fruit. Rev. Ryan Ogrodowicz, pastor at Grace Lutheran Church and School in Brenham, TX, joins host Rev.

Because the Colossians have received Jesus, St. Paul exhorts them to walk in Him and remain rooted in the faith He has established in them. They must not be taken captive by philosophies that are only manmade traditions, for these are not from Christ. He is the One in whom the fullness of deity dwells bodily, and He has filled His Church. In Holy Baptism, He has incorporated His Church into His burial and resurrection so that we receive the triumph that He has won over all powers through His cross. Rev.

Fulfilling your Ministry "And say to Archippus, "Be sure to carry out the ministry the Lord gave you." Colossians 4:17 NIV = "complete the ministry" ESV = "fulfill the ministry" The Message = "And, oh, yes, tell Archippus, "Do your best in the job you received from the Master. Do your very best." "I am writing to Philemon, our beloved co-worker, and to our sister Apphia, and to our fellow soldier Archippus, and to the church that meets in your house." Philemon 1:1b-2 Most likely Philemon, his wife Apphia, and their son Archippus. All in the same household. Imagine one person being singled out at the end of this letter to the Colossians church. Most scholars see Paul's admonition to Archippus as simple encouragement, similar to Paul's exhortations in his epistles to Timothy and Titus. It's interesting to note that Paul had never actually visited the Colossians church in person but we can be sure his written words to them made a tremendous impact and continue to do so today. We are each an Archippus and have a ministry to carry out. Paul's encouragement to Archippus and his family should encourage all of us to also "complete the ministry" God has given us. Kingdom writer, be sure to carry out the ministry the Lord gave you. Resources: If you're ready to take a step of faith and finally finish your book, we have a few ways we can help you. 1.

Even as St. Paul suffers in prison, he rejoices as such suffering is his participation in the Body of Christ, the Church. Because of God's gift, St. Paul is a minister in the Church given to proclaim the mystery now revealed even to Gentiles that Christ dwells in believers. Proclaiming Christ, Paul has been struggling for the Colossians and other Christians whom he has not yet met so that they will not be deluded by arguments that sound wise but are not true. Rev. David Boisclair, pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Colossians 1:24-2:5. To learn more about Our Redeemer, visit ourredeemerstl.org. “Letters from Prison” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. Even when Paul was imprisoned for the sake of Christ, the Word of God remained unbound. The apostle's letters from prison still fill us with the same joy that his chains could never silence. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

St. Paul extols the person and work of Christ in a glorious hymn. Jesus does not simply have, but He is the image of God by whom all things visible and invisible were created. In Him, all things hold together. He is the Head of His Church, for the fullness of God dwells in Him. By His resurrection, Jesus reconciles all things to Himself. St. Paul proclaims the Gospel to the Colossians, that this is what Jesus has done for them, so that they are holy and blameless before God as they continue in the faith. Rev. Dr. Daniel Brege, pastor at St. Paul Lutheran Church-Preble, near Decatur, IN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Colossians 1:15-23.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life.” Well, there was a time when all of us were slaves to sin and death. Some still are. But the free gift of God is eternal life. The Apostle Paul wrote about this forgiveness from sin in Romans six, twenty-three, and it's a message he shared with his final New Testament epistle to his friend, Philemon.

Although St. Paul may have never visited the saints in Colossae, he writes to them with joy and thanksgiving for their faith, love, and hope. They are bearing fruit in the same Gospel that is preached throughout the world, as Epaphras has reported. Paul therefore prays that the Colossians would continue to walk in this faith as they are strengthened by God, who has transferred them from the domain of darkness and brought them into Jesus' kingdom of light and life.
