Titus & Philemon

Teacher: Won Huh

Next week we have Titus and Philemon. I found Titus to be very similar to 1 Timothy and we had a great discussion led by Stephen King last week, so I’m going to skip that one and focus on Paul’s letter to Philemon.

As you read Philemon, think about why we have this book in the Bible? It looks like a private letter from Paul to Philemon to intercede for a runaway slave. So, what does that have to do with us today?

Preview of what I found: Christian’s need to go beyond showing mercy and on to practicing grace and love.
