Today we come to a topic that has massive implications on the way our families grow and develop. We know much of our worldview is shaped by the early input from our families! AND generally speaking we learn basic-life-lessons from the beliefs passed down within the family structure (Some good & some bad.) So, as we continue studying thru (1 Peter) remember we’ve been learning under the theme: “Hope In a Hostile World”. And over the past few weeks we’ve discovered Peter’s core message is submission when external pressure collides with our daily lives! Today we continue in the same vein, but we focus on submission within household structures.

Once again the Church is being positioned for what appears to be a season of persecution! Bible believing Christians are on a collision course with the forced standards in our society. Christians stand in stark contrast to the cultural-religion found in the mainstream of our society, and there’s no hiding anymore!

Last week we discovered the cultural-backdrop in Rome and the conditions Peter wrote about. History shows the hostility of Nero's government toward Christians was real and present across Rome! And, we learned that the main theme in 1st Peter is hope in the face of persecution (that hostile an unfair treatment of religious people. Today we add to this with a simple understanding of the man writing - Peter.

This morning let’s also recognize the growth in Peter and apply the lessons of faith so we can grow too. Peter was no joke! Tradition tells us that Peter’s wife was crucified while Peter was forced to watch. And, it’s reported that Peter cried to her as she was dying, He screams out, “Remember the Lord!” Then Peter was crucified upside down. Point being, Peter’s walk with Jesus had matured! And he was putting into practice the things he wrote here.
