The Window
Philemon
Dr. Darryl Evans
June 4, 2023

Forgiveness isn't easy, especially when we have been publicly wronged. In the book of Philemon, we see Paul ask Philemon to forgive Philemon's slave when Philemon has every right to be upset and to exercise punishment. Join us as we discuss what it looks like to forgive and how the book of Philemon challenges us to do so with those who've wronged us.

Paul writes to his friend Philemon and prays that his faith be united with God's effective power so that he recognizes all the good that is in him because of Jesus Christ. He is praying that Philemon's faith—joined with God's power—would be very effective.

Reflect on the theme: The new covenant rewrites everything about our relationships.

Question: What is the marriage supper of the lamb?

Pastor Vance Mansfield answers this question by turning to Revelation 19:6-10
 6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 
Next, Pastor Vance explains the Marriage Supper through Ephesians 5:30-33
 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
He also speaks on Revelation 21:2-3 
2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Matthew 5:14 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 
Finally, Pastor VM speaks on Revelation 10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.   and Hebrews 10:7  Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
