An Unfaithful, Thieving Slave Becomes a Servant of the Almighty God
By: Chris Bender
Series: Philemon
1st century Roman society was one with a hierarchy of classes within it and a slave was certainly at the bottom. But a slave who stole and ran away from his master reached a new low in that society. Chris preaches on how the Apostle Paul worked toward restoring the relationship between a runaway slave and his master, and Paul's counter-cultural message that they were now equals in God's Kingdom. How can God work through you to restore others?
