Speakers: Iain Millar and Caroline Millar
Sermon Recorded on: 25/02/2024
Main Passage: 1 Peter 3:1-7
Read Philipians 2:37, Ephesians 5:21 and Matthew 20:25-28. Do these verses change our understanding of what it means for a Christian to submit to another person? What is our responsibility as Christians when someone submits to us?
1 Peter 3:4 speaks of "the unfading beauty of gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight". Iain and Caroline said that gentleness here means "strength under control" and quietness means the inner quietness that comes from trusting God in every circumstance. For all of us, men included, how are we doing in the area of gentleness and trust?
In 1 Peter 3:7, husbands are instructed to "live with their wives in an understanding way" and to "show honour" to them. For women what are some areas where you feel that men could be more considerate and honouring towards you? For men, what is your reaction or response to this verse?
