Week 5 Wives

God blessed humanity when He made us to live in community, and there is no closer community than our families. What makes a family strong? In this series, we’ll examine topics to help us get to a solid, Christian family based on God’s principles.

• The Bible says specific things to women as wives.

1 Peter 3:1-6 (ESV) This Scripture focuses on wives.

This is part of a larger discussion on submission.

1 Peter 2:13 (ESV)

1 Peter 2:18 (ESV)

All Christians are called to submit to many different people in many different spheres of life.

Submission is a voluntary disposition to affirm your husband’s calling to lead, and to use your gifts to help him do that.

Submission isn’t possible when you’re afraid. It’s only possible when you get rid of fear and replace it with faith.

Matthew 11:29 (ESV) The words “gentle” and “quiet” can be said of Jesus as well.
