*Scripture reading: 1 Peter 2:15-17*

*Text: 1 Peter 2:13-17 – Practicing submission – Part 1*
* *
*Introduction:* Warren Wiersbe says this about submission to authority, “God has established authority in this world, and when we resist authority, we are resisting God.
Parents are to have authority over their children and employers over their employees.
As citizens, we Christians should pray for those in authority, show respect to them, and seek to glorify God in our behavior.
As members of a local assembly, we should honor those who have spiritual rule over us and seek to encourage them in their ministry.
Human government is, in one sense, God’s gift to help maintain order in the world, so that the church may minister the Word and win the lost to Christ.
We should pray daily for those in authority so that they might exercise that authority in the will of God.
This is completely opposite of a world that is enamored with self so how do we accomplish this?
* *
*Central Idea: In order for the believer to pursue holiness we must practice submission.*
* *
Main Transition: We jump back into the deep end of the pool in our study in 1 Peter.
We left off understanding that we are to pursue holiness.
For the most part we understand that we should pursue holiness, but now Peter enters the deep waters of submission.
We are going to spend some time on submission, we have entitled this “Practicing submission” and the word practicing will be mentioned many times over the next few weeks.
So we begin this morning with submission to human authorities, and then Submission to the will of God, and finally that is all lived out in the submission of the servant of God.

A.
The context of submission (13)
1.
We do not even hardly get started when Peter calls us to submit.
Application: Submission is a term that even believers today look at with disdain.
The world mocks and rejects it, in fact in many if not most wedding performed today the portion of the wedding vows that speaks of submission is removed from the service.
2.
The word for submission had its roots as a military term used to identify the chain of command, from officers to the battle field.
a.
In the non-military use it was a voluntary attitude of, giving in, cooperating, assuming responsibility, and carrying a burden.
