Join the course introduction to explore the curriculum, seven lessons from Philemon, and practical steps to grow in the knowledge of God and your identity in Christ.
Explore the background of the book of Philemon, tracing the slave who ran to Rome, his conversion by Paul, and the house church setting that shapes the epistle.

Learn the biblical principle of under promising and over delivering, illustrated by Philemon 21, and apply doing more than is required at work, home, and in relationships.
Starting well isn’t a guarantee to finish well; Demas's love of the world derailed him, so stay rooted in God to finish the race and keep the faith.
activate sharing your faith to gain deeper understanding of the good things in Christ, bless the body of Christ, and advance God's kingdom by making disciples.
Learn how prayer acts as a key to the Christian walk, guiding leaders, families, and congregations, and see how Paul's deliverance depended on the prayers of many.
Explore why believers should submit to God, to His word, and to leaders, bosses, and fellow Christians, recognizing that God’s commands are for our benefit.
Discover how Onesimus becomes useful to God, to Paul, and to Philemon and the church, through transformation from slave to brother and servant in the gospel.
Learn negotiation strategies from Philemon by establishing love and concern for the person, building familiarity, and understanding the other party's position for successful pay, contracts, or agreements.
Learn to craft a win-win negotiation by establishing credibility, paying compliments, and appealing to mutual benefits to create collaborative outcomes.
