Sermon Philemon 1:8-9a ‘An Appeal to Love’

9a yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love… Philemon 8-9a 8 Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, 9a yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love… 3 3

Philemon 1:1-2 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our dear friend and fellow worker— also to Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier—and to the church that meets in your home: 5

Philemon 1:10-11 that I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me. 6

Philemon 1:15-16 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever— no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. 7

Onesimus Philemon Apostle Paul Philemon Apostle Paul Onesimus 8

also to Apphia our sister… Philemon 1:2a also to Apphia our sister… Philemon 1:7 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people. Philemon 1:20 I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. Philemon 1:10 that I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. Philemon 1:16 no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord. 9

Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, Romans 12:5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 10

Philemon 1:8-10 Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love. It is as none other than Paul—an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus— that I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. 11

Philemon 1:4-7 I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus. I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people. 12

Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 13
