    How Can a Christian Wife Win Her Husband? | Live Weird | 1 Peter 3:1–6

    How can a Christian wife influence her husband for Christ—especially when he does not believe the gospel? In this message from 1 Peter 3:1–6, Pastor Thomas explains God’s instructions for wives living in a culture that rejects biblical marriage. Peter teaches that a godly wife’s greatest influence is not constant arguing, outward appearance, or cultural relevance, but a faithful life marked by purity, meekness, trust in God, and a quiet strength of character. This sermon examines: • What biblical submission does—and does not—mean • Why every Christian is called to submit to God • How a believing wife can witness to an unbelieving husband • The difference between outward beauty and “the hidden man of the heart” • Why meekness is strength under control • The importance of godly examples and discipleship • How our lives can prepare the way for gospel conversations Following Jesus will sometimes make Christians appear strange to the surrounding culture. But when our lives align with the message we preach, people can see the transforming power of Christ. This message is part of Live Weird, a verse-by-verse sermon series through 1 Peter at Portland Gospel Church. Portland Gospel Church is an independent Baptist church serving Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Hillsboro, Aloha, and the surrounding Portland metro area. Join us as we believe, live, and share the good news that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again.

    Dealing With Your Own Sin - Van Sneed

    Pastor Van Sneed, a guest speaker at Portland Gospel Church, teaches on “Repentance and Reconciliation,” explaining how sin—even after salvation—can fracture a believer’s fellowship with God. Using David’s adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah (2 Samuel 11–12), Nathan’s confrontation, and David’s confession, he highlights Psalm 51 as David’s response and a model for restoration. Sneed emphasizes key themes: reconciliation requires admitting guilt; believers should appeal for mercy based on God’s character, who “delighteth in mercy”; cleansing must be inward, asking God to create a clean heart rather than merely stopping symptoms; and those reconciled should desire the same for others, embracing the ministry of reconciliation from 2 Corinthians 5. He closes by urging listeners to address unconfessed sin and seek renewed closeness with God. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 01:01 Why Sin Breaks Fellowship 05:24 David and Bathsheba Context 08:09 Nathan Confronts David 10:13 Psalm 51 as Davids Diary 12:08 Reading Psalm 51 15:14 Key Point Admit Guilt 24:11 Appeal to Gods Mercy 30:25 Cleansing and Heart Renewal 39:06 Made New Not Just Better 41:02 Reconciled People Reconcile 42:31 Ministry of Reconciliation 46:32 Final Call and Closing Prayer Resources: - Take our FREE online Gospel Course - Attend Portland Gospel Church on Sunday - Come to bible study to learn with others - Get into a discipleship relationship to help you grow About Our Church: Portland Gospel Church is an independent Baptist church serving Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, Aloha, and the greater Portland area.
