Congrats to Phyllis, baptized today into Christ and His body. . In him (Jesus) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace that he richly poured out on us... Eph. 1:7-8
Philemon is seen as an odd book in the Bible. It seems to deal with more social issues than spiritual. But that is just the point. Our horizontal relationships with other people are directly related to our vertical relationship with God. And as our relationship with God is transformed by the work of Jesus, so is our horizontal relationship with each other. Philemon is a challenging book about a broken relationship between two men and the possibility of restoration, forgiveness and reconciliation through the Gospel. Join us Wednesday at 7pm.
