Sermons About Submission
For the Lord's Sake
The “likewise” in verses 1 and 7 point back to I Peter 2:13 where the focus is on the “mutual submission” to every authority of man “for the Lord’s sake”. The purpose of the submission for the wife is for the general necessity of divine order and as an evangelistic appeal for the unbelieving husband. This divinely intended manner of life for the wife inspires the “incorruptible inner beauty” that is precious both in God’s sight and the husband’s. Peter concludes with instructions to the husband to “give honor” to his wife and to submit to Jesus Christ in such a way that the wife will willingly follow him any where!

The Attitude of Prayer
"The Lord's Prayer" was never intended to be recited over and over without meaning (because the heart is not right). It is a guide of the intensity we HAVE to pray. We have to pray persistant and unrelenting, to the point of being annoying. (from a human standpoint, as God cannot be annoyed) This is what Jesus shows us how to do with "The Lord's Prayer", until God answers our prayer.

Some Things Never Change
Some things never change... like human nature's predisposition to rebel against authority! Jesus, however, is not "running for the position" of Lord, He IS the Lord, and submission is required!

Underwriters
Peter goes on to emphasize the need for “patient endurance” when we suffer wrongfully because that patient endurance is “pleasing to God” (v. 20), it follows the example of Jesus Christ (v. 21), and it displays the outworking of our redemption. Peter sums up his appeal by calling the believer to become an “underwriter” of Jesus Christ and to conduct ourselves in such a way that we draw people into relationship with Him. Jesus is the watchful Shepherd and our Overseer (employer/director) of our souls.

When You Pray
How much time did you spend this past week, on your knees, in earnest prayer? May this be the reason that the church today is in the state it is? Jesus said: "and WHEN you pray"; (not if you pray). As believers we are EXPECTED to pray on our knees, humbling ourselves before our God by ourselves.
