A Duty of Honour

Jul 12, 2026    Jason Byers

Christians are good spouses and friends . . . a duty of honour


What would a community look like that was defined by honouring everyone?


3:1-7


1) Peter is stressing the importance of honouring.


2) Peter is strengthening the church for real-life faithfulness.


A duty to honour for wives


Submission and honour


A duty to honour for husbands


Peter is building a picture of how husbands should exercise honour and headship at home.


Shepherding masculine strength


Shepherding shared equity


A duty to honour everyone


How we speak matters. A lot.


At home this week I want you to read James 3:3-12 and ask the question:

How might we be better at honouring one another?

How could we build a culture of honour at home and at church?

What do we need to confess where we have not done this well?
