ARE YOU A TESTIMONY? WHAT KIND?

1 PETER 3

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. WHAT KIND OF WIFE ARE YOU?

 

1. The Kind Who Accepts God’s Will for Your Role? [v. 1-2]

 

2. The Kind Who Accepts God’s Way for Your Role? [v. 3-4]

 

3. The Kind Who Accepts God’s Wisdom for Your Role? [v. 5-6]

 

II. WHAT KIND OF HUSBAND ARE YOU? [v. 7]

 

1. Are You the Kind Who Knows God? [2 Peter 3:18]

 

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

 

2. Are You the Kind Who Honors Your Wife and Her Place? [Num. 16:9-11]

 

Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them? And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also? For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

 

3. Are You the Kind Who Recognizes You are Heirs Together?

 

III. WHAT KIND OF TESTIMONY ARE YOU?

 

1. Are You of One Mind? [v. 8-14, Phil. 2:5]

 

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

 

2. Are You Ready? [v. 15-17]

 

3. Are You Obedient? [v. 18-22, 1:10-12]

 

Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
