"There is a clash of values, a clash of principles, a clash of Kingdoms."
In this letter Paul takes the values of the Kingdom of God and lovingly but firmly presses Philemon (and us) to reject the kingdom of this world and embrace the Kingdom of God.

Application Questions
- Take some time to think deeply about yourself. What are some blind spots you may have in your life? Do you pray and ask God to reveal blind spots to you?
- How can you daily remind yourself of your identity in Christ?
- What are the ways you get caught in the trap of comparison? How does the gospel free you from that trap?
- How does the world around you fixate on the value you bring? How does Christ see you differently?
- What would "usefulness" look like for you in your life?
