As we continue our Sunday teaching series looking at Paul's Prayers, this coming week our starting point is going to be Paul's prayer for Philemon. Philemon was a member of the church in Colossae. In fact, that church actually met in his house, and Philemon may well have been a leader of that church. Already Philemon is showing God's love to people practically, and Paul thanks God for that fact. But there is something more that Paul hopes that Philemon will do. Here is the Bible Project video for the book of Philemon. Philemon is a really short book, so quite easy to miss, but very quick to read. It's less than a page long you'll find it just before Hebrews.
Don't get Philemon confused with Philippians. This week we're looking at Phil. 4-7 - you can distinguish between Philemon (e.g. Phil. 4-7) and Philippians (e.g. Phil. 1:8-9) because Philemon only has verse numbers, as it has no chapters.
