1 Peter 3:18-22 Verse 19 Who are these spirits and what did Jesus do with them? Verses 20-21 What does Noah and the ark have to do with this? Verse 22 What is the point of it all? 

1 Peter 3:18-22 is packed with several challenging ideas. In this sermon, we will focus on verse 18 and the truth of Christ’s suffering. Secondly, we will focus on verse 22 and the triumph of Christ’s suffering. 

1 Peter 3:13-17 1 Suffering persecution for following Jesus will not ultimately harm you so you do not have to fear it. 2 Suffering persecution for following Jesus is a pathway to blessing. It was for Jesus and it is for you so you can trust God in it. 3 Suffering persecution for following Jesus is never final for the Christian so we always have hope. 

1 Peter 3:13-17 1) What is my hope? And is it obvious to others?  2) Am I prepared to give a gospel reason? 3) How can I have a good conscience? 

1 Peter 3:13-17 1) Gain Confidence from the Question in verse 13 2) Grow in Courage from the Promise in verse 14 3) Conquer Fear by the Command in verse 15
