Listen "Holy Wives"
Episode Synopsis
Many women and wives go through life hearing the message that they’re not good enough or somehow always doing it wrong. Is 1 Peter 3:1-6 more of the same or is there incredibly good news in this passage? Join us to find out.Sermon Outline:I. Holy wives practice submission rather than manipulation.II. Holy wives focus on character over appearance.III. Holy wives are marked by courage more than fear.Sermon Discussion Questions:1. How does remembering we have one ultimate authority free us from the impossible burden of meeting everyone’s conflicting expectations? In what areas of your life do you find yourself most tempted to prioritize others’ approval over God’s?2. How does viewing submission as an act of faith in God (rather than merely obedience to a husband) change your understanding of this passage? What fears might prevent wives from practicing this kind of trust?3. Why might persistent verbal witnessing sometimes harden rather than soften an unbeliever’s heart? How can this principle apply beyond marriage to other relationships where we want to influence someone toward Christ?4. What practical rhythms or habits could help you cultivate “the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit”? How can we pursue appropriate care for our physical appearance while keeping our primary focus on developing godly character?5. What specific fears might tempt Christian wives (or any believer) to disobey God’s design? How does knowing we’ve “returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls” address these fears practically?
