As we approach the Easter season, we are reminded of the Jesus redemptive work for us. Jesus not only died for us individually. Jesus died for the body of Christ, of which we are a part. We honor one another by serving one another. Though we may do good to others, Scripture commands that we give greater preference to those of the household of faith.
Honoring Outsiders
March 13, 2016 • Jumaine Jones
Some Christians use unbelievers’ lack of faith to justify dishonoring them. The way we treat unbelievers can impact how they view God. We must be a church that honors those on the outside. As we approach Easter, we must remember a dying world for whom Jesus died.
Honor Below

While some may not have a problem honoring those above them, it can be difficult to honor those “below” them. This may include those that are actually lower in rank or individuals who we perceive to be lower than us.
When Marriage Falls Off of the Honor Roll
February 28, 2016 • James Marshall
To maintain honor in marriage husbands and wives must...
1. Understand and accept the divine order of marriage.
2. Prioritize your character, over your appearance.
3. Use your sensitivity to care for your spouse and your strengths to lighten their load.
4. Treat your spouse like your prayers depend on it.
Honor Above
February 21, 2016 • Jumaine Jones
Many of us have seen people misuse and abuse their authority. People that should have used their power to help us decided to hurt us. As a result, we choose not to honor those in authority. Yet, the principle remains. It is important that we honor our leaders, so that things can be well with us.
Honor Self
February 14, 2016 • Jumaine Jones
At first, the concept of honoring ourselves may seem a bit strange. Isn’t it arrogant and prideful to see yourself as weighty? It is true that God doesn’t want us to be prideful and think of ourselves more highly than we should. However, it is just as prideful to think of ourselves less than what God thinks of us. When we have a low view of ourselves, it becomes difficult to honor others. Many people disrespectful and disregard others because they still wrestle with their own self-esteem and sense of identity.
Honor God
February 7, 2016 • Jumaine Jones
The first person that is worthy of honor is God Himself. Before we can honor others, we have to honor the one who created them.
