In this second sermon on the epistle to Philemon, Dominic Jackson explores the cosmic implications of Paul’s appeal for reconciliation. Moving beyond the letter’s historical and relational context, Dominic invites us to see Paul’s words as a glimpse into the disruptive, redemptive logic of the kingdom of God. By urging Philemon not only to forgive Onesimus but to receive him as a brother, Paul reframes usefulness, dignity, and power through the lens of Christ. This sermon invites us to confront systems of hierarchy and exclusion—not only around us, but within us—and to imagine a reconciliation that liberates both oppressed and oppressor.
