Honor Your Parents

May 14, 2023 • Rusty Coram

We are born with a tendency to test boundaries and break rules. God calls us to show respect and obey our parents and other authorities in our lives. When done correctly, they should be a source of comfort, provision, and safety for us.

Introduction

Galatians 2:20

The Ten Commandments were given to us by God to show what He wants for the lives of those who follow Him. They provide a picture of faithful devotion to Him and others. If we are honest, none of us obey them faithfully, which is why we need a pathway to God. That is what Jesus provides us. Accepting Him as our Savior and Leader creates a new life fueled by gratitude and His Spirit. There’s more to the Ten Commandments than meets the eye. In this series, we’ll dig into them together to gain a better appreciation for God’s design for our lives.
