St Paul's letter to Philemon is one of the most personal pieces of literature to make it into the canon of the New Testament. How did it come about that Paul met Onesimus, the runaway slave? What was it like for Onesimus to return to his former master, now as a Christian? What is it like to be part of the 'fellowship of the forgiven'?
This sermon is an imaginative exploration of Onesimus's homecoming.
It was preached at Sunday Night at St John's on September 8, 2013.
