Philemon Week 4 - When the Gospel and Culture Collide - Bible Study - 04.29.15

The recording for the first week is not available online, but you can download the notes from that study by texting PHILEMON to 31996.Today we conclude what has been a powerful study of how the gospel confronts our culture…and to be honest, I’ve been looking forward to this one. At first glance, you might be asking, “Pastor, what are you going to preach out of these last three verses…it’s simply Paul signing off…it’s the formal closing of a personal letter.” You’re exactly right, and it’s in this formal closing that the Apostle has tucked a tremendous amount of revelation. In this list of Paul’s coworkers, we have briefly talked about Ephapras, we know Mark who wrote the gospel of Mark, we mentioned Aristarchus and we know Dr. Luke, who wrote the gospel of Luke and the book of Acts…but what about Demas. Here, it’s obvious that Demas is a fellow minister of the gospel and ministry partner of the apostle Paul. So respected that he is listed in the company of the two the original 12 disciples, Mark and Luke.For more information visit http://northplacechurch.com/
