After challenging wives to submit to their husbands so that they can win them to Christ, Peter continues his letter with some pointed instructions to husbands about how they should use the authority delegated to them by God. Join us this morning as we explore these important issues.
Marriage can degenerate quickly into a struggle for power and control. The only way out of that damaging dynamic is to remember that God defines “winning” very differently than we do. Join us today as we explore these important issues together.
As spiritually alive people, we are called by God to live for His purposes no matter what it costs us. Apparently this applies to everyone, even slaves who are vulnerable to mistreatment. Join us today as we grapple with how Peter tried to get Christian slaves to see their life situation differently.
It’s been a while since we’ve talked about 1 Peter together. Before we press on, let’s take a few moments to look back at where we’ve been and remember the case that Peter has been building in his letter so far
