Session Description
There are several thorny passages in 1 Peter, such as: “Honor the emperor” (2:17), “Slaves, accept the authority of your masters . . .” (2:18), “Wives, in the same way, accept the authority of your husbands . . .” (3:1), and “He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison . . .” (3:18b19). This workshop will take a closer look at these passages (and others if there’s time) with the goal of understanding them better as we consider how we might preach and teach them today.

1 Peter’s Prickly Passages
There are several thorny passages in 1 Peter, such as: “Honor the emperor” (2:17), “Slaves, accept the authority of your masters . . .” (2:18), “Wives, in the same way, accept the authority of your husbands . . .” (3:1), and “He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison . . .” (3:18b19). This workshop will take a closer look at these passages (and others if there’s time) with the goal of understanding them better as we consider how we might preach and teach them today.
