GRACE DEMANDS A CHANGE OF HEART

We are doing this really cool sermon series this summer called "Summer Breezes".  We are looking at seven of the shortest books of the Bible.  They are ones that if we aren't careful we will "breeze" right over and miss some great teaching and some great truthes for our life.  This week we looked at the postcard of Philemon.  It was all about Grace and Forgiveness.  One of the lessons we pulled from the text was that "Grace Demands a Change of Heart".  Here is what we learned ...

1.     Paul’s heart was changed on the road to Damascus.

2.     Philemon’s heart was changed in a revival in Colossae.

3.     Onesimus’ heart was changed as he talked to Paul in Rome.

4.     One important question that we don’t know the answer to is, was Philemon’s heart changed toward Onesimus.

5.     The most important question today is one only you can answer, “When was your heart changed”?

6.     Once your heart is changed you can begin to really follow Christ.
