Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Traditional)
In this sermon, Lauren Whitnah reflects on Paul’s letter to Philemon and Jesus’ words in Luke 14, showing how the gospel radically reshapes our relationships and resources. Paul urges Philemon to receive Onesimus not as a slave but as a beloved brother, reminding us that Christ’s love redefines family, power, and possessions. Only by God’s love can we live transformed lives of freedom and fellowship.
