Wives & Husbands (1 Peter 3:1-7)

Sermon Series: Between Two Worlds   Speaker: Pastor Josh Sherrell   __________     In this passage, Peter shows us how we are to live as servants in the home. He applies this call to both wives and husbands in their respective roles. What he is calling for is submission within the institution of marriage in such a way that points each other and the world to Jesus and tells the truth about the gospel.
