Sermon: A Love that Receives

Our world is full of imitation. Whether on the basketball court or fashion or food, we see others trying to look like, be like, our sound like their heroes. All so they can be good. The problem is that all of those heroes eventually let down.This Sunday, we will see Paul imitating Jesus, who never lets us down, as he helps Philemon learn what it means to be a good brother to Onesimus. Paul will help Philemon understand that the gospel of Jesus forms in us a love that receives.
