In this lesson we examine the God given role of a woman who is married and how she is expected to behave. We even look at a wife who is a Christian and finds herself  married to a non-christian.  We follow the text of 1 Peter 3 and deal with a husband and how he is supposed to give honor to his wife and what all that entails.  We also address what is meant by weaker vessel. www.cmcoc.org Sermon by: Brian Birdow
