Preached on Sunday the 15th of June, 2025.‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬-‭17‬ ‭“Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.”Intro Music by Julius H. from Pixabay Outro Music by PianoAmor from Pixabay

1 Kings 11; Proverbs 11; 1 Peter 3-4

Forty years of oppression from the Philistines followed Israel's sin. Manoah, of the tribe of Dan had a barren wife. She, although unnamed, is the central character of the story of chapter 13. She has an unknown visitor who is later discovered to be an angel: Hebrews 13 verse 2. The angel told the barren woman that she is to have a son. She and her unborn son were both to be Nazarites from this day. The requirements for Nazarites are listed in verses 4-5 (see also Numbers 6). The angel also describes Samson's mission, for so the son would be called (Judges 13 verse 24). Samson's mission was “to begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines” (verse 5). This task was completed by David several generations later. In verses 6-7 Manoah's wife relates to her husband the stranger's visit and his message to her. Verse 8 tells us that Manoah and his wife realise that their visitor was a man of God. Samson's father prays for God to again send the man. Verse 9 says that the angel was sent again to the woman. Why does Manoah seem to be bypassed? Perhaps it's symbolic of the virgin birth in the bypassing of Joseph's line and we can compare this with the angel Gabriel appearing to the virgin Mary. Samson's mother runs to fetch her husband. Verses 12-14 tell of the angel's repeating to Manoah the earlier message to his wife. In verse 15 Manoah offers hospitality to the angel. The angel replies in verse 16 by saying that he will not eat the food, but that it should be offered to the LORD. Manoah asks the angel's name. The angel says that his name is “wonderful” (Hebrew – ‘pele' and is used of the miracles performed when Israel was delivered from Egypt). A kindred word is used in verse 19 which describes the angel's stretching out his staff, resulting in fire consuming the offering and the angel ascending to God in the smoke from the offering. Was this the same angel who had delivered Israel from Egypt by inflicting the 10 wonders, or plagues? Finally, realising that their visitor was an angel, Manoah mistakenly believes that doom will overtake them; until the sense and reason of his wife prevails. She logically says to her husband that if their Sovereign was going to destroy them why would He send an angel with a glorious message of deliverance. The last verses describe the birth of Samson, whose name means “brilliant sunshine”, whose personality appears to be like his name. As Samson grows up in the camp of Dan – the location of the remnants of the tribe that endeavoured to faithfully occupy their inheritance when the majority of their tribe migrated to the Phoenician coast described in Judges 17 and 18. In the camp of Dan Samson's spirit is stirred by Yahweh's spirit in order to bring this Judge to afflict the Philistines. In our Isaiah chapter, 37, Hezekiah recognises the extremity of the nation's apparent impending fate and his own imminent demise due to an extreme failure of health. King Hezekiah does the only logical thing – he leaves it to God by making it a matter of faithfulness and prayer. We notice in verse 4 that Hezekiah's servants acknowledge that despite the seeming hopelessness of their situation, “the Living God” who the Assyrians have reproached may arise in judgment to vindicate and glorify His name. Likewise the king himself reiterated the same incontrovertible truth verse 17. King Hezekiah, ignores the threat of the overwhelming numbers of the mighty army camped outside Jerusalem's walls and the king's own impending death, prays to Judah's Omnipotent Creator. Hezekiah humbly prays for the Almighty to arise and deliver His people and erase the words of reproach that had blasphemously been said against Yahweh their God. Hezekiah sends the three nobles, named in chapter 36, with the king's answer to Rabshakeh's demand to surrender. He tells the Assyrian general in verses 22-29 how the daughter of Zion disdains the futility of the Assyrian rants. The prophet Isaiah is sent to Hezekiah with the LORD's response and sign that He would save His people. Verses 33-35 says that Judah needed to do nothing except to “stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh”. Verses 36-38 tell of the angel of the LORD smiting 185,000 Assyrians in a single night. These verses tell us of the Assyrian king's shameful retreat to Nineveh only to be assassinated by two of his sons. The Apostle Paul May very well had Isaiah 37 in mind when he wrote the words of 1 Timothy 4 verses 9-10. The first 7 verses of 1 Peter 3 outline the principles governing the relationship between wives and husbands. This relationship exists to assist one another to graciously receive an inheritance in the kingdom. Mutual submission – the one to the other is key to a balanced spiritual marriage (compare Ephesians 5 verses 22-33). Outward adornment is to be sparse – the true focus is to be on modesty and a heart centred on our Lord Jesus Christ. Abraham and Sarah provide the model for all time (compare Isaiah 51 verses 1-5). The faithful example of a spouse may in time win her unbelieving husband to Christ's way. The Word of God and prayer are the cement for a successful marriage. And husbands must not lord it over their wives, but rather be prepared, as Christ showed us, to sacrifice themselves for their wives. Verses 8-22 speak of suffering for righteousness' sake. Listen to and contemplate the words of verse 8, “Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind” (ESV). We do not repay evil with evil, but rather by blessing. Verses 10-12 are a protracted quote from Psalm 34 (one of the most frequently quoted Psalms in the New Testament). This is because the course of life is advised for a believer to follow. Once again prayer is stressed as a guiding force. Christ's disciples' lives are to be exemplary in manifesting the holiness of their Father's calling (Leviticus 19verse 13). In suffering for righteousness' sake faithful believers pattern themselves on Christ their head. These disciples become one with our Lord Jesus through belief and baptism; and their identification is a response to a conscience desiring to be reconciled to God. The same attitude was shown by Noah, as he likewise believed the LORD when he built the ark and proclaimed the Almighty's power to save those who trust in the salvation God provides. Our Lord Jesus Christ will return to earth bringing us the longed for deliverance in his coming kingdom. The fourth chapter in commencing with the word ‘for' shows us that it is a linked to the behaviour at the end of chapter 3. The first 11 verses tell us that we are stewards of God's grace. In knowing the extent to which Christ Jesus suffered for the upholding of the righteousness of his Father we too cannot continue in sin as the heedless world does. Without the gospel we are dead, as dead as this wicked world is now. But we have been made alive in Christ. Let our sober minds never forget this. Believers must strive on the behalf of others and with the love of God, outworked in Christ, to extend our Father's graciousness to any and all. Faithful speech must not be self-focussed, but we need speak with God's Words. From verses 12-19 Peter explains that the believer's lot is one of suffering for Christ's sake. The sufferings that the faithful of the diaspora were experiencing was not in any way unexpected – it was because they are living as had their Master and would not be deflected from patterning themselves on him. Like what was seen with our Lord glory and exaltation would follow rejection and persecution. The Scriptures have always shown this to the path of the righteous – see Ezekiel 8 verse 18 to 9 verse 12. Chapter 5 of 1 Peter pursues the theme of humility and of our suffering preceding exaltation and glory. The focus, as always rightly remains upon our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the chief shepherd, as he had taught Peter both by word and example (compare John 21). Peter embraced and accepted that responsibility with fervour. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the good shepherd (John 10). He is also the chief shepherd (1 Peter 5). And Jesus is the great shepherd (Hebrews 13). Our responsibility, like Peter's (who learned it first from his Lord), is to feed God's flock (Psalm 23verse 100). This is done out of a love that reciprocates that of the Father and His Son, not out of compulsion and certainly not for any pay. Those who like their Master clothe themselves with true humility (John 15 and Philippians 2verse 1-11), shall in God's good time be honoured and exalted. Verses 13-14 end the letter with final greetings.

Pastor Doug reads and comments on 1 Peter 3.

Human suffering is undeniable. It is the shared experience of all of humanity to suffer. The world spends all of its energy trying to reduce and avoid suffering. Christianity has a different approach. Our God has conquered suffering. In this episode, Pastor Taylor talks about the King over suffering in 1 Peter 3:8-22.

I am confident that every single person listening today has gone through a trial in their life. Some are much more serious than others, of course, but the common denominator for Christians is that we should rejoice when we suffer. What? Yes - rejoicing in times of trial and persecution. Why should that be our response? Shouldn't it be the exact opposite? 

Pastor Jason emphasizes the significance of how our beliefs about God shape our relationships with Him and others. He highlights God is a great Father who provides abundant life, a living hope anchored in the resurrection of Jesus, and abundant mercy. Ultimately, trusting these truths should transform our lives in Christ.

Bold Faith: 1 Peter 3:15 (Nathan Betts) by Highlands Community Church

Lending a helping hand is what makes a friend a real friend. If we say we care, but don't ever lend a hand, then we really don't care. Similarly the body of Christ is an extension, an arm of Christ, reaching out to a world desperately in need of help.  Compassion, such as this is just one of several marks of a Christian that we'll examine here today on Bridging the Gap as Lloyd Pulley resumes his verse by verse study of First Peter.

1 Peter 3:1-12 | Pastor Rick God's Blueprint for Marriage In this message from 1 Peter 3:1–7, Pastor Rick unpacks one of the most challenging and misunderstood topics in the Bible: submission in marriage. With humor, honesty, and biblical clarity, he walks through God's design for husbands and wives—not as a hierarchy of control, but as a partnership of mutual honor rooted in Christ. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and even surprising statistics, Pastor Rick challenges both men and women to embrace their roles not for dominance, but for discipleship. In a world where marriage is often broken, God offers a blueprint for restoration—and it starts with surrender to His Word.

From our series on 1 Peter.

The Bible never talks about dating. That is because dating is a cultural expression of how we end up married. The Bible's concern is how we put the Gospel on display in marriage. If we would focus on that Gospel centered result, dating appropriately wouldn't be so confusing. In this episode, Pastor Taylor talks about the incorruptible quality of the Gospel in marriage in 1 Peter 3:1-7.Get Connected! https://linktr.ee/reachtulsa
