Honor Your Parents

Honor Your Parents

In the fifth commandment we are told to honor our father and our mother. This is the only one of the ten commandments that comes with a promised reward. This commandment serves as a bridge between relating to God and relating to people. We will discover how honoring our parents through obedience, respect, and support is formative to a healthy Christian life, and formative for a healthy society for all people everywhere. --- Many people are looking for a life of hope, freedom, and blessing. The law of God is often viewed as a list of do’s and don’ts, but it is actually God’s guide for us to experience a life of freedom filled with blessing. The ten commandments are not only God’s code of conduct for a moral life, but they help us see our need for Jesus and show us how we can live a life filled with hope.
