November 25 2012 – Audio Sermon on 1 Peter 3:17–22 by Pastor William Hixson

Peter ties Christ’s suffering and resurrection to baptism which now saves you not as a removal of dirt but as an appeal to God for a good conscience The passage links historical events with sacramental meaning and calls believers to live in the reality of resurrection life expressed in faithful baptismal living

Some good hymns for 1 Peter 3:17–22 are Christ the Lord Is Risen Today by Charles Wesley, Up from the Grave He Arose by Robert Lowry and When I Survey the Wondrous Cross by Isaac Watts
