Continuing our exploration of short books of the Bible, this week we check out Philemon. Philemon was the recipient of the letter, known as the ‘book of Philemon’ in the Bible, sent from Paul who was asking Philemon to forgive a man and accept him back as his ‘brother’ in Christ. It’s a short book of the Bible but Philemon has a very important message and one that is extremely relevant to our lives now: forgiveness and reconciliation is good for us, and brings us closer to God. -------------------------------- Our Mission: Love God.
