In this sermon, we explored Paul’s letter to Philemon, which provides a profound example of how the Gospel can be put into action in everyday life. Paul, writing from prison, asks Philemon to welcome his runaway slave Onesimus back not as a slave but as a beloved brother, challenging societal norms. This illustrates how the Gospel transcends cultural and political boundaries, impacting every aspect of life. As a church, we’re reminded that even in our differences, we are unified in Christ and called to embody the Gospel’s transformative love. Let us continue to be disciples who let the Gospel shape all areas of our lives.
