Join us for worship!

3/19/2023 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA.

Worship Leader: John Sletta
Speaker: Joe Whalen
Scripture: Philemon 1:1-6
Title: Navigating Damaged Relationships

Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved fellow worker and Apphia our sister and Archippus our fellow soldier, and the church in your house: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, because I hear of your love and of the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints, and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full knowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.

Notes:

1. Three primary people in Philemon
A. Philemon
B. Paul
C. Onesimus

2. Three directions for those of us with damaged relationships
A. Focus on what you have...not on what you don't have
i. Jesus is enough
B. Keep serving...you'll learn much about Jesus
i. Serving Jesus doesn't exempt us from difficulty
C. Keep trusting...we don't know what God is doing in the lives of others
i. God, the greatest Author in existence, knows the best ending to the story
