While the New Testament never explicitly abolishes slavery, it is full of teachings and commands that revolutionized the master-slave relationship.
Paul wanted Philemon to welcome Onesimus back — but did it matter how? Paul’s radical reasoning has big implications for Onesimus’s status as a slave.
Although Paul refuses to command Philemon, he strengthens his appeal with seven personal reasons why his dear friend should receive Onesimus like a brother.
Jesus commanded us to love one another, but Paul seems to imply that commanding diminishes love. So, which does love prefer — commands or appeals?

Wonderful. Thorough. Edifying. Clear. Biblical. Pastoral. A rich and rewarding listen, every time.

Pastor Piper always uses the Bible to help me understand what the verses are saying. He doesn’t make things up on his own that goes back or forward in the Bible to verse. That will explain the one we’re trying to know more about.
Thank you for this great thorough explanation of the Bible.

Apple Podcasts5toynotatoolUnited States3 years ago - I Thank God for John!
And I thank God for this study.
I love how deep into paragraphs and phrases and words that John does. This feeds my soul and answers questions. Sometimes that I didn’t realize I had :-) may God continue to use John for a long time to come.
Apple Podcasts5ChriscleohUnited States3 years ago - Such a fun podcast!
Whether you’re a Bible nerd or new to Bible study this is a fun interactive podcast that even gives video of the interpreting process. I like how Pastor John develops the context over the book and gives intertextual answers to the questions that arise. Highly recommend!
