Useless to Useful

In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the transformative power of forgiveness through the lens of Paul's letter to Philemon. The story of Onesimus, a runaway slave, becomes a profound metaphor for our own journey from being 'useless' to 'useful' in God's kingdom. We're challenged to consider: How do we respond when faced with those who have hurt us? Can we, like Philemon, choose love and acceptance over resentment? This message reminds us that in Christ, we're all equal - 'neither slave nor free' - and calls us to embrace one another as brothers and sisters, regardless of past wrongs. It's a stirring call to live out our faith by extending the same grace and forgiveness we've received from God to others, even when it's difficult.
