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.
God calls us to be catalysts, taking responsibility to “nudge” our brothers and sisters towards fulfilling their obligations, even if it’s risky, because we trust Him with outcomes.
