Winning in the WIlderness

TRUTH & LIES

January 15, 2023 • Pastor Derrick Anderson • Philemon 14–15

“Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way!”(Philemon 14-15 NLT). I’ll Never! Over My Dead Body! It’ll be a cold day in . . . before I ever speak to them again! It will never happen! It’s too Much! I’ll Never Be Able To Do That! Have you ever been Stubborn and Stuck in your way about something? Have you ever sold yourself short, thinking that certain things were just impossible to do? Do you ever feel Stressed and Strained because somebody is making you do something you really don’t want to do? Paul asked a HUGE favor of his friend, Philemon! Onesimus had stolen from his master, Philemon – Loss of Money! Onesimus had run away from his master – Loss of Labor! Now, Paul is asking the unthinkable. Paul wants to send Onesimus

back in a new position, with a higher pay, and with more power! And Paul wanted Philemon to do is Willingly! I want you to do this WILLINGLY. I don’t want to have to force you, call your hand, hold something over your head . . . Since by CHOICE and not by FORCE puts you on a whole another COURSE, always be WILLING to work things out!
