Philemon: Philemon- From Forgiveness to Restoration

What does it really cost to move beyond "I forgive you" to "welcome back home"? This Sunday in our "Kingdom Convergence" series, we'll discover through Philemon's story that God calls us to something far more costly and transformative than mere forgiveness - He invites us into the risky, vulnerable work of restoration that requires everything from everyone involved. As we explore the difference between releasing the past and actively investing in someone's future, we'll see how our most difficult relationships become the very places where God's upside-down kingdom power is most clearly displayed. Come ready to wrestle with hard questions about grace, boundaries, and what it means to follow Paul's example of advocating for those who've failed, while learning to discern when restoration is God's call versus when healthy boundaries are wisdom - because sometimes the most radical thing we can do is choose the costlier path that has the power to turn the world upside down.
