Philemon the Beloved Fellow-Worker
Today we finish a short 3-week series in the book of Philemon. The first week we looked at Onesimus, the run-away slave who was the reason for this letter. Onesimus met Paul, then he met Jesus; his life was changed and the prodigal returned home. Last week we turned our attention to Paul, the writer. Paul speaks very personally, showing us areas of growth in his own life as a follower of Jesus. Today, we’ll think about the recipient of the letter: Philemon.
