In this thought-provoking episode, Steve Wood contrasts St. Paul's grace-filled, Spirit-led approach in Philemon with common Catholic pastoral practices that often rely on external mandates. From sacraments to Mass attendance, Steve challenges the Church to rediscover the power of love, invitation, and the Holy Spirit—rather than obligation—to form vibrant, lifelong disciples of Christ.

April 6, 2025Every local church wants harmony and connection among its members. The local church is made up of redeemed yet flawed people, and, inevitably, our flaws surface through misunderstandings, missed expectations, or messy, sometimes sinful, circumstances.  How do we respond when our flaws disrupt our fellowship? Philemon contains the truths we need to walk in wholehearted fellowship with one another.Philemon 1-25

We will end this series talking about the relationship between Philemon and Onesimus. Two people in the Bible you might not heard about and what we can learn from a Christian slave and Christian Slave master.

What if everything you've been taught about America's founding was incomplete? What if our monuments, buildings, and founding documents contain evidence of a deeply Christian heritage that has been systematically erased from public education?This episode takes listeners on a fascinating journey through America's architectural treasures – from the biblical inscriptions inside the Washington Monument to the Ten Commandments engraved above the Supreme Court chamber, from paintings of prayer and Bible reading in the Capitol Rotunda to the towering Forefathers Monument in Plymouth that few Americans even know exists.The evidence is literally carved in stone: America was founded as a Christian nation. Fisher Ames, who worded the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, believed the Bible should be the primary textbook in schools. John Jay, our first Supreme Court Chief Justice, stated that Christians have both the privilege and duty to elect Christian leaders. These weren't religious extremists but the very architects of American liberty.As we explore these forgotten monuments, we also examine how Bible illiteracy has allowed revisionist history to flourish. Without knowledge of Scripture, we miss countless biblical references in our founding documents, presidential addresses, and national symbols. This knowledge gap has enabled the false narrative of America as a secular nation from its inception.The episode weaves together this historical exploration with timeless spiritual wisdom from the book of Philemon about free will, love, and our relationship with Christ. Jesse emphasizes that just as Paul wouldn't force Philemon to free his slave but appealed to his heart, God doesn't force our love either – He offers it freely, waiting for our response.Whether you're a history enthusiast, a person of faith concerned about America's direction, or simply someone who wants to understand the complete story of our national heritage, this episode will challenge assumptions and inspire a deeper appreciation for the biblical principles woven throughout American history. Listen, learn, and consider how reconnecting with these roots might help secure liberty for future generations.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Pastor Sean Doughtie | April 6, 2025Paul's letter to Philemon is personal appeal for forgiveness and reconciliation between Philemon, a Christian slaveholder, and Onesimus, his runaway slave who's now a fellow believer. Rather than leaning on authority, Paul speaks as a friend — calling on Philemon to receive Onesimus, not as a slave, but as a brother. This short letter is an example of gospel transformation — showing how love, grace, and shared identity in Christ can break down social barriers. It challenges all believers to embody the gospel through forgiveness, reconciliation and radical unity.

In this episode, Steve Wood explores a biblically grounded approach to parenting through the lens of Galatians and Philemon. Drawing parallels between God's method of guiding His people and raising children, Steve introduces a two-step parenting model: beginning with external rules and boundaries, but ultimately aiming for an internal transformation led by the Holy Spirit. Steve encourages parents to move beyond legalism, and instead foster environments where their children can encounter and be transformed by the Holy Spirit. Whether you're a parent seeking wisdom or simply interested in how Scripture informs family life, this episode offers practical insight and spiritual encouragement.

Proverbs 18 is about friendship its benefits and its obligations. Verses 1-8 outlines wise thinking and the words which the wise speak – words which bring blessings to those who heed what was said. By contrast verses 6-7 tell us that a fool's mouth is an invitation to strife and his words continually bring trouble upon his head. Gossip is the way of the fool and those associated with him will experience total disaster. Verses 9-19 speaks about the need for diligence in order to be successful. These are contrasted with the true protection, which never fails, the name of Yahweh is a fortress (v10). Those who trust in the LORD are imperishable. They are indestructible. The life of the faithful is in the hand of their Maker. They need have no fear of men, because of their reverence for the Almighty – Matthew 10:16-33. Read aloud slowly. Contemplate this message for how you will live your life before your Sovereign and as a witness to your community. The wise men speaks of pride preceding a fall (v12). We are told to listen before speaking (v13). Generosity paves the way for acceptance (v16). Don't win an argument via persistence – be prepared to agree through a lot, ie it doesn't matter if you never win. If you simply win through aggression, or because you won't stop arguing you have lost a friend and a great deal more (v18). Verse 19 tells us that if your insistence creates a rift then it can only be healed via great efforts and immense sufferings. Verses 20-24 tell us, yet once again to be diligent in order to live adequately. What a great lesson verse 21 teaches – your tongue can save another person, or destroy them. A Godly companion in life is an aid and blessing in our walk towards the kingdom of God (v22). Be a close friend rather than a ruinous babbler (v24).According to Acts 28 Paul spent two years under house arrest in Rome (AD62-64). During this time Philippians, and Philemon were written. Acts 16 provided the background to the gospel arriving in Philippi. Philippians is called Paul's letter of joy and its theme is, “Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice.” In chapter 1 of the letter the Apostle described his constant thanksgiving for the love of the believers in that city – colony which was heavily Roman in every way. He told them of the advance of the gospel in Rome and that even members of the Praetorian guard had become faithful believers. Unfortunately, not all ‘brethren' were happy – there was a group of false believers (known as Judaisers) whose motives for preaching were to see Paul persecuted. Paul, indeed would have been happy to die for the faith, nonetheless he felt that continued living would be for the benefit of the believers. In chapter 2 we have wonderful exhortations of Christ's mindset, as always being to honour and exalt his Father and for the benefit of others. Let that, said Paul, be the attitude of every believer. As God's Son our Lord had a status higher than anyone; yet he suffered as a servant the death of the cross. Now he is exalted at the Father's right hand with the name of Yahweh Himself (Isaiah 45). Believers bare the responsibility of shining as lights among this twisted world. He showed that Timothy and Epaphroditus both demonstrated Christ-like love for the believers in Philippi. Their own lives were put behind the course and purpose of the gospel.

My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the profound depths of Christian love and reconciliation through the lens of Paul's letter to Philemon. This short but impactful book of the Bible teaches us about the transformative power of God's grace and the importance of forgiveness in our relationships. We see how Paul, writing from prison, appeals to Philemon on behalf of Onesimus, a runaway slave who has become a Christian. This narrative beautifully parallels Christ's intercession for us before God the Father. Just as Paul asks Philemon to receive Onesimus as he would receive Paul himself, Jesus presents us to God as His own. The message challenges us to consider: How can we extend this same grace and forgiveness to others in our lives? It reminds us that our transformation in Christ should lead us from being 'unprofitable' to 'profitable' in God's kingdom, impacting the world around us positively. This teaching encourages us to see the potential for good even in difficult circumstances, trusting that God can use challenging situations for His greater purpose.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1  https://instagram.com/philpringle https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl https://twitter.com/philpringle    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store 

Jesus came to bring peace and reconcile us to God through His sacrifice on the cross. In today's message, Pastor Richard reminds us that it's never too late to receive God's forgiveness if we trust in His Son. Just as Christ made the way for us, we're called to make things right with others without delay. Is there anyone you need to be reconciled with? Don't let pride or fear hold you back. Take that step and experience the freedom of reconciliation today.

Pastor Ricky concludes his mini-series on Philemon with encouragement for reconciliation among the saints, extending forgiveness just as we have been forgiven.

Sharing what God is doing in your life can inspire and refresh the faith of others. In today's message, Pastor Richard encourages us to focus on God's goodness rather than dwelling on complaints or seeking sympathy. While it's natural to share struggles, testifying to God's good work in our lives brings hope and encouragement to those around us. Be intentional about uplifting others by pointing to God's faithfulness in your life.

The Act of Forgiveness. Philemon 8-20. Pastor Alex Costa

You know that moment as a parent, where you walk into the room without your kids noticing and you catch them in a moment of weakness. Hitting, biting, scratching, shoving, and on and on. All kids are sinners, even the pastor's kids… For a moment they thought they could get away with it, but this time there's no opportunity for defense, no need for an accuser. I saw it with my own two eyes and as the realization that their outburst wasn't in secret fear creeps over them, excuses begin to fly, and the need arises for them to cover up their mistake. With each kid I've come to realize that all punishments are not the same, but all their corrections include extended group hugs. The goal is very simple, instead of seeing and treating a sibling like Mike Tyson used to treat a punching bag, you must see them as a person, made in God's image. As a parent my job is to reconcile my children to each other, softening their hearts towards each other and the Lord!In this message, we take a brief look at Paul's letter to Philemon and the ministry of reconciliation. I'd encourage you to read it a few times before you watch. Pastor Matt McCarter

Philemon 1:8-25 | Bahaa Qayteem | February 21st, 2025

This sermon was preached by Derek Overstreet on March 23rd, 2025.

By David VenHuizen - The book of Philemon presents situations in which Paul, Philemon, and Onesimus needed to make difficult decisions in their lives. What will we do if we are faced with similar situations in our own lives?

The Art of Persuasion | Philemon by Osterville Baptist Church

Paul was a prisoner in Rome because he spread the gospel and told people about Jesus. He was literally in chains! Onesimus was a rebellious, run-a-way slave who happened to find Paul and, while in chains, Paul shares the gospel with him, and his life is changed forever. Onesimus is a completely different person and Paul tells Philemon to accept him back because he will now be useful to him forever which is a play on his name, “Useful”. He wasn't useful to you in the past but now he will be because Jesus has changed his life. Regardless of your situation and why it happened, you have a choice to make: you can either sit, mope, cry, be depressed etc. or you can use it to grow your faith and trust God even more so He can use it bring Him glory. Your perspective matters!

This weekend we jumped back into our “Meeting Paul Again” series by discussing the letter to Philemon. This is the shortest of Paul's authentic letters, but it gives us a fascinating look at how he understood the practical implications of following Jesus. ⛪️ To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit https://gracepointe.net/about-us

Worthy of the Gospel | Week 11 | Misty Denman--In the book of Philemon, Paul emphasizes spiritual refreshment, transformed relationships, and sacrificial restoration as a result of the Gospel.--Outline

We are introduced to a slave owner named Philemon and we have this tiny letter because one of his rebellious slaves, Onesimus, ran away and just happened to run into Paul. Paul shares the gospel with the guy while in prison and Jesus changes his life! He helps Paul spread the gospel there in Rome but Paul sends him back to Philemon with this letter. In this letter Paul describes Philemon and his family: strong faith, love Jesus, love people, kind, and very generous. Philemon's name means friendly and his wife's name mean fruitful as in complimentary. Together, they are a great couple who loves Jesus and are faithful servants in the kingdom of God! What do people say about me? How do people describe you when they are talking about you to others? Do you look like, sound like Jesus?

This is Pastor Tom Arnould welcoming you to the Good News Radio Broadcast. In the New Testament book of Philemon, we see the great effort the Apostle Paul invested in restoring the life of a prisoner named Onesimus. Paul had a deep concern not only for the masses he encountered, but also for the individuals that crossed his path.

Sometimes when trials overwhelm, we want to just run away. Pastor Ray Bentley responds, I wonder if I speak to someone here this morning that is tempted to run away. Maybe you've had somebody run away from you. May I suggest perhaps God knowing allowed this to happen and has a greater and a bigger purpose than you could have dreamed or imagined.

Pastor Ray Bentley says. So many think in the give and take of love, it's better to take rather than be taken. That's the world's idea of love. It's very much a 5050. What are you going to do for me? What have you done for me lately? And that's why it falls apart so many times. There's no commitment. There's nothing there. That's not what the Bible says. Love is. Love is saying what is important to you is important to me.

Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?' 8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. 9 And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.' ” ● God is patient...but He will require repentance ● The Lord will do everything to get me to a place of fruitfulness...but ultimately the one who is responsible for being fruitful is me. Repentance - Changing your thoughts and actions from serving yourself toward serving God. ● Repentance isn't saying you're sorry ● Repentance isn't feeling remorse ● Repentance requires faith, change, and forward progress toward repair, restoration, reconciliation, or growth. ● Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ○ Peter talked of the Christ, who He would be, and what He would do. He then testified that the Christ was Jesus...who they resisted, killed, and has since resurrected from the dead. ○ The people were cut to the heart, they believed, they got saved, and they received the gift of the Holy Spirit. ○ Hear the Word, receive the Word, and do the Word. ● Philemon is about a man who had repented, had faith to change and made forward progress toward being restored in the relationship that he violated. ● Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.

By David Chornomaz - This message is a study of the book of Philemon, which is one of the shortest books in the Bible.

Come celebrate round numbers with us as we embark on our 100th episode of Data Over Dogma! And what, you might ask, are we doing to mark this grand event? Have we carefully crafted a clips show looking back on the best moments of the last 100 weeks? Have we mindfully chosen topics that relate to the number 100? Well, no. No we haven't. It's just a regular show. Sorry. That said, it's an interesting one! First, we're covering a very interesting letter Paul sent to his buddy Philemon. Aside from revealing (rather casually, really) that he was in prison when he wrote it, Paul seems to speak out for his new helper, runaway enslaved person Onesimus. What does this letter reveal about Paul's view of slavery? What is Paul asking of Philemon? Why is everybody in prison all the time? Next we cover a topic that you hear about on this show a lot, but may not know much about it. What is the Septuagint? Why is it called that? Where did it come from? And why are we using a Greek text as an early witness to Hebrew scripture? ---- HEY! TICKETS FOR THE FIRST LEG OF THE DATA OVER DOGMA TOUR ARE NOW ON SALE!
