Neglected But Essential: Philemon

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. What stood out to you most in this message?
  2. In the Scriptures, who comes to mind when you think of a person being transformed in Christ? What about them makes you think that? (Consider a discussion on Acts 3-4.)
  3. Discuss what it might have been like for Philemon to receive this letter. What struggles do you think he might have had with Paul’s request?
  4. Discuss what it might have been like for Onesimus to be part of the team carrying this letter to Philemon. What concerns do you think Onesimus might have been battling?
  5. How has being in community aided in your transformation in Christ?
  6. Is there a measure of sacrifice that God may be asking you to consider on behalf of another brother or sister in Christ?
  7. Read John 13:34-35. In today’s environment, what does it look like to love each other as Jesus loves us?
