Promise

What does it truly look like to follow Jesus into the most personal spaces of our lives: our living rooms, our marriages, and our everyday relationships?

In Week 5 of our series Not Home Yet, Pastor Stephen walks us through 1 Peter 3:1–12, unpacking God’s sacred blueprint for marriage and Christian community. In a world filled with brokenness, scorekeeping, and carrying "grudge bags" for years, Scripture calls us to a radical way of living: mutual submission, sacrificial honor, and dropping the rocks of bitterness.

Marriage is not just about our temporary happiness. It is designed to be a living illustration of Christ and His Church. Through the lordship of Jesus Christ, two distinct individuals are molded together by grace into oneness. And beyond marriage, all believers are called to not repay evil for evil, but to be people who actively bless others.
