Philemon, taught by David E. Garland

The letter to Philemon brings a bold call for forgiveness and unity as the brotherhood of all believers. This letter, the shortest book in the Bible, speaks powerfully to us today toward issues like equality, unity, and what conversion to Christ does for us all. Christ forgave us everything and welcomed us as brothers and sisters in the Lord, now the choice of action is ours.
Philemon, A Video Study features scholar David E. Garland teaching through the book of Philemon in four engaging and challenging lessons. Together with Garland's Colossians, Philemon in the NIV Application Commentary series, these lessons bring the meaning of this short letter into the twenty-first century. Garland comments on the text itself and explores issues in Paul's culture and ours that help us understand the meaning and significance of each passage.

Thank you for this thought-provoking exposition, and for drawing so many valuable lessons out of what might have appeared to many of us to be an insignificant little dispatch.

Excellent overview! “Getting relationships straight is just as important as getting doctrine straight.” -David E. Garland

I wonder how it played out with Philemon and Onesimus once Philemon read the letter. I love how Paul used his own relationship to Onesimus as a brother in Christ to point to what was possible for Philemon. And I can imagine that Onesimus was absolutely changed in his service. I wonder if Philemon eventually freed him and how God may have used both of these men for His kingdom. And I wonder how Philemon's household changed too.
