Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Ken Yates, Philippe Sterling and Bob Wilkin continue looking at 1 Peter. Not only do believers need to maintain a proper relation to God and to other believers, they also have relational responsibilities to the world, to properly constituted authority and to their families. We should be characterized by respect and not rebellion. What three ways does Christ’s example inform us when it comes to suffering? Then there is that word, “submission.” Why do we hate it so much? It is really a good word. Find out why when you listen to today’s episode of the Grace in Focus podcast!
