After addressing the wives, Peter turns his attention to the husbands. He calls them to treat their wives with honor and understanding, "that your prayers may not be hindered."

Teach Us to Pray
Is "the Lord's prayer" a general outline of what Christians should pray about, or does Jesus want us to say the very words of this prayer?

Now I Call You My Friends (John 15:11-17)
Jesus, the Son of God, through whom the universe was made, opens the door in John 15 for everyone to become His friend. But what does it mean to be Jesus' friend? What blessings did Jesus promise to give His friends? And what did Jesus say was required to be His friend? This lesson answers
