We look to God for protection
Love others: Honour in family
Breakdown in marriages
Conflict in family
Family should be a foundation for all. To restore peace and harmony in the family.
Ephesian6:1-9
Children, obey and Honor your parents
Fathers, bring guidance and training
Slaves, obey and serve masters
Masters, treat slaves fairly
Exodus 20:12
Whats honor - to give importance, to give respect.
What if the parents are unkind and hurtful to us,
Honoring our parents is not about their performance.
God loves all imperfect and His job on them are not finished. Love is unconditional. Breaking down the wall between parents - you must first forgive them and honor them.
Its a step of faith and obedience
10 commandment
First 4 - relationship with God
Next 6 - relationship with others
One of the commandment is
Honor your parent
Its a command with priority
As our parents will get old and we should do this command when they are still alive. Hence this command will "expire" once they are gone. Its with priority
Its a command with promise in returned
Ephesian 6:2-3
If you do this command, your days will be lightened and will be lengthened
You shall not covet:
Exodus 20:17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s”
