Philemon 1-7: Grace, Peace, and Community

Not only is Philemon a firsthand look at personal communications and letter-writing from the First Century … BUT ALSO, Philemon provides a look at slavery in the ancient world AND, practically speaking, it’s a book about relationships and how the Gospel (the core message of Christianity) changes how we relate…There are implications in this letter for parenting, for friendship, dealings with neighbors co-workers, roommates, etc.
