Philemon: Refresh My Heart in Christ

With Philemon 1:8–10, we continue our study of Bible books. In Paul’s letter to Philemon, the
apostle Paul pleads for the acceptance of Philemon’s slave who had run away, revealing the power and love of Christ in action. Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches Philemon: the man rich in faith and love, Onesimus: from thief to saint, and the apostle Paul: pleading Christ’s love.
“For love’s sake I prefer to appeal to you—I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus—I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I became in my imprisonment.”
