You’re Not A Leftover. Your Name Tag 🏷️

Описание: Ever felt like your past wrote your name tag for you?
In this message, “Take Onesimus, Please” from our Short Stack: Pocket-Sized Power series, Pastor Randall D. Sims walks through the tiny New Testament letter of Philemon to show how the gospel doesn’t just change your destination—it changes your value.

We meet Philemon (a respected believer), Paul (in chains for preaching Jesus), and Onesimus (a runaway household servant with a messy past). Through this short “postcard” epistle, we see how God revalues people others write off, how Jesus stands in the middle saying, “Charge it to My account,” and how the church is called to receive runaways back as brothers and sisters, not just as problems to manage.

In this sermon you’ll discover:

Why Onesimus is a picture of all of us who have run from God

How Paul models what it means to stand in the gap and use your spiritual “credit” for someone else

How Philemon shows us the costly, beautiful work of forgiveness and reconciliation

What it looks like today to be Onesimus, Philemon, and Paul in your home, church, and community

If you’ve ever felt “useless,” written off, or permanently labeled by your failure, this word is for you. In Jesus, runaways come home, debts get covered, and servants come back as brothers and sisters.
