The Fifth Commandment: Honour Your Parents | Exodus 20:12

It would be no exaggeration to say that these days, the family is under attack. Divorce rates are sky high. There are many single parents who are raising their children and families that are dysfunctional. Children are broken by their parents’ divorce and adultery, which has a huge impact on their relationship with their parents. On top of this, the culture is normalising perversion - same-sex relationships, transgenderism – actively encouraging children to embrace this wickedness and evil, even if it means rejecting the authority, wisdom and guidance of their parents. 

In this sermon we look at the Fifth Commandment: honour your father and mother. In the midst of a world which is showing increasing distain for healthy families, for the honour of parents, God’s Word shines a light into this present darkness. Indeed God really cares about families because he created them. This Commandment shows us God’s will for how children are to relate to their parents. But as we’ll see, it speaks into more than just the
family. In fact, this Commandment applies to all authority that God has established. We’ll see that because God has blessed us with parents and other figures of authority, and established them as authority figures in our lives, we are to honour and obey them.
