Broken and Betrayed
from HopeInMadison · host Andy Wulff
I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, because I hear of your love and of the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints, and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ. (Philemon 1:4-6, ESV) Broken. Betrayed. Hurt. Bitter. Stung. When I read those words, my mind is flooded with the faces of people who have moved through my life and left destruction behind. Maybe, you can relate. Maybe, you are gun-shy to enter into relationships because of your history. Enter the gospel. When it enters our life, it hits the 'reset' button on our primary relationship with God. And when that happens, it must impact our relationships with those around us. In May, we will take a couple of weeks to examine the small personal letter of Philemon. In it, Paul writes to his friend, Philemon, who had been betrayed by his slave Onesimus. We will get a front row seat to see the how the gospel reorients our relationships and makes them a living demonstration of the cross. Don't miss it. Get a preview by reading through the short book of Philemon before Sunday. It's just 25 short verses.
