August 12 2012 – Audio Sermon on 1 Peter 3:9 by Pastor William Hixson

Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling but on the contrary bless for to this you were called that you may obtain a blessing The verse teaches nonretaliation and blessing as the Christian response to hostility The sermon encourages active goodness and the long term power of blessing over vengeance

Some good hymns for 1 Peter 3:9 are Alas and Did My Savior Bleed by Isaac Watts, The Old Rugged Cross by George Bennard and When I Survey the Wondrous Cross by Isaac Watts
