Heart of the matter
A personal letter, a personal appeal as we wrap up this table talk series of Philemon.
Bible study methods, application we have been at this for awhile and I hope you have gained some tools and are now applying the tools in your own personal study.
As we have done this with Philemon we are ready to finish it off, first let me summarize what we have seen so far.
We have looked at the background and the introduction.
An overview of the book
We then read it again and focused on the “who’s” that we find in the book, and it was quite a list of names.
Then, we got to the exegetical study, focusing on (vv.1-7).
This is where we came to see, know author, recipients, the greeting, the prayer, the “we” and the results of their love.
Then, yes, we read it again and now we looked at (vv.8-16).
We then focused on Paul’s plea, Paul’s instructions given about Onesimus to Philemon.
Now tonight we will do our final read of the book, then focus on (vv.17-25) makes some observations and draw some conclusions.
So, let’s read it again now, one more time, get some general information that hopefully by now we remember, then focus on our section
Q- Anything new stick out to you in this read?
Alright, a challenge now if as I ask some questions, answer and back up with verses.
I have confidence you can do it.
Q - Who is the author
Q - Who is the recipient(s)?
Q- What is the topic of the letter?
Q - What is the purpose of the letter?
Q - Who are the “main” characters of the letter?
Good job! See repetition is a good thing, you are getting more out of it now than when we first began.
We are remembering more.
So, now let’s focus on the last section (vv.17-25) of the letter now.
Q - Who is the who that is mentioned in (v.17) and the me?
Q - Who is the he mentioned in (v.18) and the my?
Q - What is Paul’s request (v.18)?
Q - Why does Philemon owe Paul (v.19)?
(subjective answer)
Q - How did Paul expect Philemon to refresh his heart (v.20)?
Q - What is Paul’s confidence regarding Philemon (v.21)?
Q - What is Paul’s request (v.22)?
Q - How does Paul close out this personal letter (v.25)?
So, now, tell me in your own words what is this letter about, what was the aim of this letter?
Do you think that personal appeals, letters, cards etc still can make a difference today?
Someone’s position in Christ changes everything.
It did between Philemon and Onesimus, he was now a brother in Christ, and yet his slave.
Hence why Onesismus must return, and Philemon must receive him as a brother.
We must be willing to receive others that are brothers even if they don’t talk, act like you do.
They may not be where you are spiritually, in maturity, we need to let the grace of God and the mercy of God abound through us to others.
Remember Christ said.
“Blessed are the peacemakers,for they shall be called sons of God.” Mt5:9!
(Prayer) (Close)
