On Sunday, July 13, 2025 at Wildwood Community Church, I preached a sermon based on the book of Philemon.  This message was the first in the “Postcards” sermon series.  Below you will find questions related to the message for personal reflection or group discussion.  You will also find the audio and video of the message to listen to/watch, download, or share.

Sermon Questions:

1. Pray


2. Read Philemon


3. What are some of the biggest challenges facing our world today?  Have you personally gotten involved in responding to any of these challenges?


4. When Paul met Onesimus he got involved in doing what he could to help this runaway slave.  The big problem of slavery had a name – Onesimus.  Do you personally have a connection with anyone dealing with any of the big challenges we mentioned in the message today?  What is that connection, and what are some ways the Lord may be prompting you to respond?


5. What are some of the excuses that we often want to offer to keep us from getting involved in ministry to others?  How does Paul’s example inspire you to act?


6. Jesus paid the debt each of us owed so that we might be welcomed into heaven as a brother/sister, not simply a slave.  Have you trusted in Christ for the forgiveness of your sins?  If so, how does your relationship with Jesus impact your relationships with others.  If you have not placed your faith and trust in Christ, what is preventing you from trusting Him today?


7. What stands out to you most from this message?  Any particular takeaway?
