This evening we have a guest speaker, Gerard Vandervegt from Good Shepherd Homes who preached on Philimon 8-19
His title was Onesimus is profitable
Onesimus runs away possibly after stealing from Philemon
He ran to Paul's house were he Paul took him in. Onesuse was converted.
V10. My son Onesimus now profitable
V12. Receive him with affection closely knit.
V16. Not now as servant but as a brother.
V17. Receive him as myself.
Yes praise God he adopts us but secondly the love that God gives we can love other.
2 Corinthians. 5: 16-20
