The Gospel Transforms Lives
with Alistair Begg
Worship Leader, Michael O'Brien
June 16-18, 2025
Just as Paul’s life had been transformed by an encounter with Christ, so the escaped slave Onesimus experienced spiritual transformation as he embraced the Gospel and found freedom from sin. In Paul’s brief letter to Philemon, he urges the Christian slave owner to welcome Onesimus as a brother in Christ. Discover how this small but powerful New Testament book highlights the beauty of grace and the transforming power of forgiveness.
