PPT-Peter Denies the Lord Lessons From Peter’s Denial

It takes more than good intentions to remain faithful to the Lord We must watch and pray We cannot follow Jesus at a distance The danger of warming ourselves at a strangers fire The Lord is aware of our struggles. How The Lord Frees us from Bondage. Acts 12:1-16. John 8:36. Physical Imprisonment & Bondage Represent a Spiritual Condition. Simon was “bound by iniquity” (Acts 8:23). False teachers try to “bring us into bondage” (Galatians 2:4; 2 Peter 2:19). 4:1-9. Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. .
