Imagine receiving a handwritten letter about the most explosive conflict in your life. Now imagine that letter is copied to your closest friends and meant to be read out loud in your living room. This is exactly what happened to a man named Philemon.

In the first message of the "Charge It to Me" series, Pastor Adam Burton explores Philemon 1-7. Discover why Paul dropped his apostolic title to write from a prison cell , what the story of Pat Tillman teaches us about surrendering our rights , and why we must close the gap between knowing grace and actually performing it.
