How You Treat Your Spouse Matters, Pt. 1: Wives

What does 1 Peter 3:1–6 actually teach about biblical submission? Is this passage oppressive, outdated, or part of God's good design for marriage?

In this sermon, we examined one of the most challenging passages in the New Testament and discovered that God's commands are never given to burden His people, but to bless them. Peter calls Christian wives to display the transforming power of the gospel through holy conduct, respectful submission, and the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. Far from diminishing women, Scripture reveals that faithful obedience can strengthen marriages, point unbelieving spouses to Christ, and display the wisdom of God's design to the watching world.

Whether you're married, preparing for marriage, or simply seeking to understand biblical manhood and womanhood, this exposition will challenge you to trust that God's Word is good—even when it confronts our culture and our flesh.
