Ephesians 4:7-16 7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, andhe gave gifts to men.” 9 (In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that hehad also descended into the lower regions, the earth? 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)

Ephesians 4:1–6I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, [2] with all humility and gentleness, with patience,bearing with one another in love, [3] eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Ephesians 3:14-21 “Paul says God's love for His people is as long as eternity past, so wide as to include all nations, so high as to ring praises from angels in heaven, and so deep as to cancel the claims of hell on our soul.

1 Peter 4.12-19 Here we find four attitudes that will enable us  to handle suffering and persecution well. 1) Expect it 12 2) Rejoice in it 13, 14 3) Understand the reason and result of it 15-18 4) Entrust it all to God 19

1 Peter 3:18-22 Verse 19 Who are these spirits and what did Jesus do with them? Verses 20-21 What does Noah and the ark have to do with this? Verse 22 What is the point of it all? 

1 Peter 3:18-22 is packed with several challenging ideas. In this sermon, we will focus on verse 18 and the truth of Christ's suffering. Secondly, we will focus on verse 22 and the triumph of Christ's suffering. 

1 Peter 3:13-17 1 Suffering persecution for following Jesus will not ultimately harm you so you do not have to fear it. 2 Suffering persecution for following Jesus is a pathway to blessing. It was for Jesus and it is for you so you can trust God in it. 3 Suffering persecution for following Jesus is never final for the Christian so we always have hope. 

1 Peter 3:13-17 1) What is my hope? And is it obvious to others?  2) Am I prepared to give a gospel reason? 3) How can I have a good conscience?

The Mission of the Church Matthew 9:35-38

This sermon is for the very special occasion of commissioning the Markowski family into missions. Our twin themes will be worship and witness, explaining how these two work together, raising our worship higher, and sending our mission further. We will read from Psalms 34, 57, 66, 67, 96, and 108. 

1 Peter 3:8-12 and Psalm 34 Peter shows us, from Psalm 34, how to love life and see good days, even if we face opposition, persecution, and tribulation. He applies the Psalm's teaching in four ways  1) Payback blessing for cursing and good for evil v. 8-9.  2) Speak the truth in love never a lie in hate v. 10.  3) Seek peace and pursue it v. 11.  4) Live like what God says and sees and hears is more

1 Peter 3:8-9

1 Peter 3:7 and Selected Scriptures #1 Men & Women (husbands & wives) have different callings and different commands from God #2 Men/Husbands are called to leadership and authority  #3 Men/Husbands are to love sacrificially #4 Men/Husbands are to lead in repentance  #5 Men/Husbands are especially accountable to have a prayer life that works

1 Peter 3:7  In this short but powerfully demanding verse, the husband is given a command which is backed up by 3 reasons. 1st in the nature/creation of the wife, 2nd in the nature of salvation/gift of grace and 3rd in the husband's own relationship with God. We can interpret and apply this verse by covering 4 things every husband needs to know and do. 

1 Peter 3:1-6 and selected Scriptures  1 Peter 3:1-6 and Proverbs 31:10-31 answer some foundational questions that our world, and even many in the church, are increasingly confused about. These scriptures will show us God's good design in response to these four questions:  1.) Which is better, man or woman? 2.)How and why are men and women different? 3.) What does the Bible say about feminine beauty and Christian modesty? 4.) What is courageous Christian womanhood?

1 Peter 3:1-6 1.      Submission. What does it mean that wives are to be submissive to their own husbands? 2.      Won.  How might disobedient husbands be won without a word? 3.      Conduct. What would it look like for my conduct to be respectful & pure? 4.      Adorning. What does it mean for my adorning to be internal and not merely external? 5.      Spirit. What would it look like for me to have a gentle and quiet spirit which is precious in the sight of God?
