Let's Get It Right

Truth & Lies

December 4, 2022 • Philemon 1–3

What’s the right way of doing church? In Person or Online? At home or in the sanctuary? Virtual or Hybrid? Podcast or Facebook or Radio – Is that enough? Do you join or just attend? Is Membership really important? Do I need a congregation, a church building, a crowd, company or can I have church all by myself? What a reminder in this small, personal letter of what makes church really CHURCH! Philemon is the beautiful, personal letter of the Apostle Paul to his friend, Philemon, on behalf of Onesimus. Onesimus was Philemon’s runaway slave who had possibly robbed Philemon before running away (Philemon 16, 18). Onesimus went to Rome and got saved under Paul’s ministry. Now, Paul was sending him back to right the wrong of his past and to chart a new course for his present and future. What a Reminder – More than Rules to Follow, Church is about Relationships to Fortify! More than just the Place we Gather, Church is about the People and how we Grow! More than just Getting Even and point out Faults, Church is about Getting Ahead and Pointing others to the Father! Since we can only get out of church what we put into the church, get it right and Church will bless you for a lifetime!
