A Church Without Exes
In this message from the short and powerful book of Philemon, Pastor Bryan walks us through the road to reconciliation. Philemon is about the power of the gospel to transform lives and to impact human reconciliation—turning former enemies into brothers and sisters. The church today, often far from this vision, is less like a family and more like a society of “ex”es—ex-friends, ex-colleagues, ex-co-workers. But if the Apostle Paul is right, in the church there are to be no “ex”es.
Preached on May 29, 2022 at The Summit Church in North Carolina.
