Faith Summer Nights 

Faith Summer Nights 
Pastor Steve Anderson | 7.26.23 

1 Peter 3:1-7 (NIV)

1 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 

2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 

3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 

4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 

5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, 

6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. 

7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

Personal Growth 

According to 1 Peter, does Peter command all women to submit to all men? Who does he include?

How does Peter’s instructions apply to marital relationships with abuse? 

For personal reflection, whose marriage do you find exhibiting qualities like honor, submission, and love the best? How does their’s affect your view of marriage? In what ways does it motivate you in your own relationships?

As a result of this session, what can you do practically to better love/cherish/bless your spouse this week? If you’re single, what can you do practically to pursue honorable friendships with those around you of the opposite sex?
