The Actions of One Who Forgives (Philemon 8–18) John MacArthur

Summary

This sermon focuses on the theme of forgiveness, drawing lessons from Paul's letter to Philemon, which illustrates forgiveness without overtly stating the doctrine. Key scripture references include the sixth commandment and Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5. The practical takeaway is to view others as created in God's image and to love them as ourselves, understanding that unforgiveness is a violation of God's command not to kill.
