Audio taken from the live version of "Does the Bible Endorse Slavery? The Answer No One Talks About!" - https://youtu.be/BREGfCvDy3s?si=NMEivCS6nPx3OJwUThe question of slavery in the Bible is one of the most common questions raised by critics of the Christian faith. These intellectuals ask, and rightfully so, “why does the Bible support the practice of slavery?”In today's study, we will investigate these controversial ancient texts, and provide you with answers to this problematic question. 1 - Why does the Bible endorse slavery?2 - What exactly was slavery in the Bible?3 - Why didn't Jesus condemn slavery?Key Scriptures for today's teaching: Ephesians 6:5-9Other Scriptures in this study: Exodus 21:16; Matthew 19:3-8; Genesis 1:27; Philemon 1:15-16Unless otherwise noted, most Scripture will be read from the New Living Translation (NLT) Bible.If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!

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. Timothy Appel to study Colossians 2:16-23.

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.

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.

Philemon
In this episode of our New Testament Survey series, Jonathan and Brandon explore Paul's letters to Titus and Philemon—two short but deeply practical books that reveal the heart of Christian leadership and forgiveness. They discuss Paul's challenge to Titus to build a church grounded in sound doctrine and godly living, and his heartfelt appeal to Philemon to extend grace and reconciliation through Christ. Join the conversation as Jonathan and Brandon unpack how these letters show that faith is meant to shape both the church and our personal relationships in everyday life.

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.

Isaiah 31-36; Psalm 104:16-27; Proverbs 22:21-26; Philemon
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.

“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.

St. Paul concludes his letter to the Philippians by rejoicing over the support that they have given him during his time in prison. All the while, he reminds them of Christ Jesus as the source of contentment and strength, not only in times of prosperity, but especially in times of poverty. The Apostle has confidence that just as God has supplied his every need, so God will supply the Philippians' every need. With greetings to the saints in Philippi and from saints with him, St. Paul closes his letter with the grace of Jesus. Rev.

St. Paul commends particular members of the Christian congregation in Philippi to agree in the Lord as they continue to labor together with him and each other in the Gospel. That Gospel allows Christians to rejoice in the Lord always, because His return is near. Therefore, we live not with anxiety and worry, but with gentleness, prayer, thanksgiving, and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. St. Paul encourages the Philippians to imitate him in thinking about whatever is good and right and true, knowing that the God of peace is with them. Rev.

St. Paul has not yet reached the resurrection, but he strains forward in the life that he has from Christ right now in anticipation of the Lord's gift on the Last Day. The Lord leads His people toward that goal, working through Scripture, prayer, and suffering. The Apostle calls the Philippians to imitate him in this way of life, rather than falling prey to those who set themselves as enemies of Christ. Instead, Christians must live and stand firm as citizens of heaven, holding to the One who reigns over all things, the Lord Jesus Christ. Rev. Dustin Beck, pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Warda, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Philippians 3:12-4:1.

When you live around New York City like I did for 30 years, you take people on lots of tours. We've had friends visit us from all over the country - all over the world - and, of course, they all want to see the sights of New York that they've heard so much about. Well, we got to take many of them to the Statue of Liberty, the late great World Trade Center, Times Square, Broadway, the United Nations, Central Park. And something interesting actually happened to me as I introduced others to the place that I knew so much about and that I'd seen a lot of times. In a sense, I sort of discovered those places for myself in a new way, and I was actually energized by watching their reactions to seeing it all for the first time. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Surprising Secret of Exciting Faith." Those places that I knew so well actually became more special to me when I introduced others to them. Just kind of like what happens when you or I introduce someone to the Savior we've known for so long. That's why Paul prayed what he did in Philemon verse 6, our word for today from the Word of God. Interesting verse. Here's what he said, "I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ." Now there are a lot of reasons to tell people about the life and the love that you found in Jesus Christ, not the least of which is that their eternity depends on them understanding what Jesus did on the cross for them. But here Paul gives a reason we may not think much about or we don't hear much about, and that is that in sharing your relationship with Christ you actually begin to really understand your relationship with Christ as you never did before. If you remain silent about Jesus, you can just coast along in a comfortable but shallow spiritual rut. But once you step up to your responsibility to get this life-saving message to the people around you, something awakens in your own soul. You have to find ways to explain what Jesus did without all that religious vocabulary which I call "Christianese." And that vocabulary that we use so casually, allows us to believe without thinking a lot about it. We just kind of agree with the words. But as you struggle to explain a relationship with Christ to someone else who doesn't know all those words, you actually start to better understand that relationship yourself. It's like me taking tours of where I lived - it becomes more special to me as I tell someone else about it. As I see the wonder of someone else discovering what I discovered a long time ago. When you tell others about Jesus, He starts to mean even more to you. And if you're like most believers, you're actually missing this life-changing, faith-expanding experience. Surveys show that up to 90% of Christians never talk about their relationship with Jesus Christ. Which means 90% are missing what Paul calls "a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ." And the lost folks in their circle of influence are likely to go into a Christless eternity, an unthinkable eternity because of the silence of the Christian they knew. Please don't let that be you. It's time to start blowing the lid off our relationship with Jesus by telling people about that relationship - about explaining it to others! Because when you show someone else this Jesus that you know, He'll mean more to you than He's ever meant before!

As St. Paul continues to encourage the Philippians to rejoice, he speaks of himself as an example to the Philippians. As opposed to those who put their confidence in fleshly works such as circumcision, St. Paul truly has every reason for confidence in his own person and works. Yet he considers his own works as dung in comparison to the infinite worth of Christ, whose righteousness is given by God through faith. This is the righteousness that alone avails before God, and so as Christians we strive to remain faithful to Him unto the resurrection of all flesh. 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 updates the Philippians on two of his coworkers and expresses his desire to send them to the Philippians soon. First, he commends Timothy, whom the Philippians know personally. Timothy is an example of the humility of Christ, as Timothy concerns himself with the Philippians' welfare and the interests of Jesus. Second, Paul commends Epaphroditus, who had brought the Philippians' gift to Paul. The Lord had been merciful in sparing him from death, bringing great joy to the Philippians and Paul. Rev. James Helms Jr., pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Greenbelt, MD, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Philippians 2:19-30.

During this message, we looked at Paul’s plea for Onesimus in Phileom in Philemon chapter 1. Onesimus... shifted from slave to son and faced his past with faith. This weekend, Pastor Steve Huffman guided us through these two important points as we continued our new Unsung Heroes series. This week be challenged to take a risk on someone God is calling you to take a risk on. Full Service
Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor As we compare Colossians 3 with Philemon 1 we see an application of the Gospel to two men's lives. How did the transformation of Philemon's and Onesimus' hearts lead to radical reconciliation that displayed the glorification of God?
