Bart Byl on Philemon. Series: Discipleship on the Edge Paul's letter to Philemon addresses a delicate situation involving Onesimus, a slave who had left his master and then becomes a Christian under Paul's guidance. Paul urges Philemon, Onesimus's master, to welcome him back not just as a slave but as a brother in Christ, encouraging him to forgive and welcome him. The letter highlights the transformative power of the gospel, challenging societal norms and creating new relationships of love within the Christian community. --- Tbilisi International Christian Fellowship is a Christ-centred family of believers in Tbilisi, Georgia.
