The 8 Minute Devotion

Benefit from You (Philemon 20)

The Apostle Paul realized that Philemon could benefit him through obedience - Paul derived eternal benefit through Philemon's faithfulness! Pastor Cameron encourages us to bring benefit to our spiritual leaders on today's episode. 

A Debt We Could Not Pay (Philemon 19)

We all owed a debt we could not pay, but Jesus paid that debt at the cross so that we can have eternal life! Join Pastor Cameron as he looks at a Gospel parallel in the book of Philemon, where Paul offered to pay Onesimus' debt. 

Restitution (Philemon 18)

Pastor Cameron looks at the Apostle Paul's offer to repay what Onesimus had stolen from Philemon. With true repentance, there is always the offer of restitution! If we refuse to make amends for our wrongdoing, it shows we have not really repented. 

The Golden Rule for All (Philemon 17)

Paul asked Philemon to treat Onesimus with the same kindness and honor he would treat Paul with - it was an extraordinary request! On today's episode, Pastor Cameron reminds us that the Golden Rule is not just for pastors and teachers to enjoy, but we should treat all of God's people with extreme honor and kindness. 

Paul's Own Restoration (Philemon 15-16)

Paul wrote this epistle of restoration, as a man who had already been restored! On today's episode, Pastor Cameron finishes our ten Biblical stories of restoration. 

Restored Apostles (Philemon 15-16)

2 of Jesus' apostles, Thomas and Peter, failed greatly around the time of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Yet both were restored to the ministries, as Pastor Cameron discusses today. 

The Lost Sheep, Coin, and Son (Philemon 15-16)

Pastor Cameron looks at three restoration stories from Luke 15 on today's episode. Jesus shared about the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, showing God's heart for restoration in each! 

The Restoration of David (Philemon 15-16)

God Loves Restoration (Philemon 15-16)

God Had a Purpose (Philemon 15-16)
