The Gospel Transforms Lives — Part One

About this sermon

While imprisoned in Rome, the apostle Paul wrote to his brother in the faith Philemon, urging him to receive and be reconciled with his runaway bondservant, Onesimus, now a believer. Though the situation’s details may seem distant, this letter powerfully displays the transforming work of Christ. Beginning a short series on the book of Philemon, Alistair Begg introduces its writer, reader, and foundational truth: that the fundamental reality of the Christian life is that of being made new and increasingly conformed to the likeness of Jesus.
