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.
