224. Pastor Dave Krist - Penned In Prison

During his two years under house arrest in Rome, Paul wrote a series of letters (referred to as “Prison Epistles” today) that shaped the early Church in a profound manner. Though this was not a typical prison sentence, the title “Penned In Prison” alludes to Paul’s mental and emotional imprisonment. With one hand bound to a soldier and the other holding a quill, he began to pen a letter that would have a ripple of impact, not only on members of the New Testament Church, but also on our hearts today. One dangerous letter that Paul authored in the midst of what we read in Acts 28 is focused on two important leaders of the Church at this time in history: Philemon and Onesimus. Anchors away for a 932-mile journey to Rome that, for the first time, is not focused around Paul. (Unfortunately, for you adrenaline junkies, there are no shipwrecks in this trek.) Grab your notes and get ready to pen the powerful words of a man who penned in prison.
