Kindness: Philemon
June 28, 2026

Kindness – χρηστότης – chrēstotēs – spiritual usefulness to the other

Titus 3:4-7

Romans 2:4

Matthew 8:5-13

Kindness is both a wrecking ball to the world’s fallen relational patterns of power abuse and alienation, and is also a healing balm that leads to restored identities and transformed relationships in the way of Jesus.
