SRM Outline - RELATIONAL TUNE

1 Pet 3:1–7

\\ Introduction
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I.  The Christian _____________  (3:1-6)
 
 
  A.  ___________________  (3:1-2)   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  B.  ____________________  (3:3-4)
 
 
Gentle or meek. Toward God, gentleness is that temper of spirit in which we accept his dealings with us as good, and therefore without disputing or resisting. In the Old Testament, the meet are those who rely on God rather than their own strength to defend them against injustice. Thus, gentleman's (meekness) toward evil people means knowing that God is permitting the injuries they conflict, that he's using them to purify his elect, and that he will deliver his elect in his own time.  
 
Gentleness is opposite to self assertiveness and self interest. It stems from trust in God's goodness and control over the situation. The gentle person is at peace because he is not occupied with self and all. Gentleness is a work of the Holy Spirit not of human will alone (Galatians 5:23), and it is also a response to the believers calling from God. Jesus called himself meek (Matthew 11:29) and pronounced blessing on the meek (Matthew 5:5). 
 
 
  C.  Examples of the Principles (3:5-6)
 
 
 
 
II.  The Christian ________________  (3:7)

III.  The Christian ________________  (3:8-9)
 
 
  A.  Five _______________  (3:8)
In verse 8, Peter lists five adjective describing the attitudes with which Christians should treat other people, especially other Christians. 
 
 
      1.  Harmonious
 
 
 
 
 
 
      2.  Sympathetic
 
 
 
 
      3.  Brotherly
 
 
 
 
 
      4.  Kindhearted
 
 
 
 
 
      5.  Humble in spirit
Humble = lowly.  In the man centered Greek world, lowliness or humility was considered shameful-the cringing of the slave or lack of self-respect. In the God centered world of the Bible, however, lowering oneself is the first step to a right relationship with God and others. Jesus modeled the servant attitude he expected of us followers. 
 \\ Humble in spirit = essentially it means humbly thinking of others, putting others first, and saying and doing the gracious thing. Courtesies' serves others before self, jumps at opportunities to assist, and expresses prompt appreciation for kindnesses received. it is never course, vulgar, or rude.   
 
  B.  Three ________________  (3:9)
 
      1.  Not returning evil for evil
 
 
 
 
      2.  Not returning insult for insult
 
 
 
 
      3.  Instead giving a blessing
 
 
 
 
 
  C.  Purpose for “Purposeful” living

Searching for Sermons & Illustrations

Basic Use

To perform a simple search for sermons and illustrations, type your search terms into the search box on the left and press enter. The sidebar will switch over to the search results tab and automatically load the first submission. To view more search results, simply scroll down. Additional results will automatically load into the bottom of the sidebar as you scroll.

hope
faith like a mustard seed

You can modify your search to only return results containing two or more of your terms by using the AND keyword. The OR keyword can be used to specify that you want results that may only match one of your terms. Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase.

love AND patience
joy OR happiness
"walk with God"
joy AND "hard times"
(servant OR slave) AND (Jesus OR Christ)

Advanced Searches

Sermons.Logos.com also supports more advanced search syntax. Sermons are broken down into several sections, or fields:

author | The name of the contributor
title | The title of the submission
passage | Passages related to the submission
topic | Topics addressed by the submission, e.g.: forgiveness, marriage
tag | Tags attached to the submission, e.g.: men's retreat, Easter Sunday
type | 'sermon' or 'illustration'
language | The language the submission was written in, e.g.: en, es, ko
content | The full text of the submission

By default a search will look for matches in any field. You can also specify which field you want to search by inserting the name of the field directly before your search term.

title:faith
tag:"Father's day" AND type:illustration
topic:"John the Baptist"

Bible references are treated as special search terms. Sermons.Logos.com understands verse ranges, and will match submissions that contain any references within the range you specify, not just the exact reference. If you search for John 3:15-17, you will also get results with John 3:16. A Bible reference is specified by using angle brackets, such as <Eph 2:8>. If you forget to use the angle brackets in a simple query, don't worry, it will still be recognized as a Bible reference.

Genesis 1:1
<Eph 2:1-9>
passage:<Proverbs 3:5-6>
