Continuing our teaching on Philemon, the Apostle Paul appeals to his brother in Christ with grace, gently urging him to forgive and fully receive his runaway slave Onesimus, who has now become a believer through Paul’s ministry. He explains that Onesimus has been transformed by God’s grace and asks Philemon to welcome him not merely as a servant but as a “brother beloved.” Paul even offers to pay any debt Onesimus owes, illustrating the gospel picture of Christ taking our debt and placing it on His own account. The letter becomes a living illustration of how believers are to extend the same grace they have received in Christ.

The Book of Philemon is about forgiveness and grace being shown to one who did not deserve to be pardoned. In this study, we’re introduced to Onesimus, a slave in Philemon’s household who ran away—likely after stealing from him—and fled over 1,200 miles to Rome. But, while there, in God’s providence, Onesimus encountered the Apostle Paul, heard the gospel, and was saved, becoming Paul’s spiritual son. The opening of this Pauline epistle highlights Philemon’s love, faith, and ministry, setting the stage for Paul’s gracious request that he live out the gospel toward his returning runaway slave.

Elijah, fresh off his dramatic victory over the prophets of Baal, was suddenly overwhelmed by fear when King Ahab’s wife, Jezebel, threatened his life, causing him to flee over a hundred miles into the wilderness. This lesson on 1 Kings 19 shows how the exhausted and discouraged prophet asked God to take his life—the Lord, however, responded not with rebuke, but with rest, food, and gentle care. At Mount Sinai, God revealed Himself not via wind, earthquake, or fire, but through a “still small voice,” showing Elijah that His power often works quietly and unexpectedly, and restoring him to service.

The gospel saves anyone who believes, regardless of what you’ve done or become. No person is beyond the reach of God’s grace or His power to save—we gain a home in heaven by faith. This episode explores the Lord’s parable of the prodigal son, who demands his inheritance early, leaves home, and wastes everything in sinful, reckless living. Hitting rock bottom, he decides to return home in humility, hoping only to be treated as a hired servant. But while he is still far off, his father runs to him with compassion, embraces him, and overwhelmingly restores him, rejoicing that his lost son has been found.

For those who run away from the Lord, like Jonah, it’s easy to get off the right path, and the road back can be difficult and painful. In this message, Jonah’s downward spiral continues, as he sinks from ship to sea to the belly of a great fish, where he finally turns back to God in prayer. God delivers and recommissions him, and Jonah reluctantly preaches in Nineveh, where an astonishing city wide repentance leads God to spare more than 600,000 people. Instead of rejoicing, Jonah becomes angry that God showed compassion, but by the end, he has learned that God’s mercy reaches even those we least expect.

In this series-opening teaching, we see that Jonah receives a clear command from God to go preach to Nineveh, but because he despises the Assyrians, he runs the opposite direction. His attempt to flee “from the presence of the LORD” leads him onto a ship and God hurls a violent storm that terrifies the sailors while Jonah sleeps below deck. Jonah admits to them that he is running from the God, so they reluctantly throw him overboard, immediately calming the storm. God then appoints a great fish to swallow Jonah, showing His patience and grace toward a runaway prophet whom He intends to restore.

Part: 6
In this study, the Apostle Paul teaches that praying under grace means praying for a maturing faith, an increasing love, and a purifying hope. Paul prayed night and day for the Thessalonians, asking God to perfect what was lacking in their faith by giving them more truth from the Word. As believers grow in their knowledge of Christ, their faith strengthens and naturally overflows into abounding love for both the Church and the lost. All of this leads toward a holy, set apart life motivated by the hope of Christ’s coming, which should inspire believers to live in a way that honors Him every day.

Part: 5
The Apostle Paul explains, in this lesson, that praying under grace means praying with gratitude, joy, and a heart focused on others rather than ourselves. He highlights how Paul continually thanked God for fellow believers, remembering their “work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope,” and praying for members of the Church. True prayer under grace is joyful intercession—lifting others up, appreciating their fellowship in the gospel, and recognizing that every believer is important and precious to God. As we pray this way, we grow in love, unity, and shared commitment to making Christ known.

Part: 4
In this episode, we learn from the Apostle Paul that prayer under grace is rooted in spiritual growth, not earthly comfort, and his four prayer requests for the Philippian church build on one another. As believers grow in understanding God’s Word, they learn to “approve things that are excellent,” rightly dividing Scripture and living according to God’s will for today. This leads to sincerity, a blameless walk, and lives filled with the fruits of righteousness produced by Christ Himself. Paul also urges believers to pray for open doors to clearly share the mystery of Christ to fuel both personal transformation and gospel ministry.

Part: 3
Praying under grace, we are taught in this message, begins with a burden for the lost, because God desires “all men to be saved.” The Apostle Paul urges believers to pray in every form—lifting up all people by name and asking God to open their hearts, remove obstacles, and give boldness to share the gospel. Paul also instructs the Church to pray for rulers and authorities so that believers may live quiet, peaceable, godly lives that make the gospel attractive and unhindered. Ultimately, prayer under grace aligns our hearts with our Savior, the one Mediator Who longs for every person to believe and be saved.
