Sermon Notes
Date: 12/03/2023
Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Series: 1 Peter
Key Text: 1 Peter 3:1-7
Description:
Though the pendulum of cultural ideas may swing, God’s word and will do not.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of 1 Peter and addresses a passage that, throughout the ages, has been the subject of much cultural pushback and controversy: the ideal, definition, and purpose of MARRIAGE.
And though the culture may shift back and forth in ideas to suit… this passage unwaveringly lays out the fulfillment of God’s UNCHANGING design for marriage:
√ A wife that submits to her husband
AND…
√ A husband that honors his wife
