Why We Need Jesus: Honor Your Parents - Part 1

Exodus 20:12

Pastor Bob Hiller
10/11/2009

The Fourth Commandment

Exodus 20:12 Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

How are we to honor our parents? We are to LOVE them!

L____________
Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching. They will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck. Proverbs 1:8-9

O____________
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother"-- which is the first commandment with a promise--"that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth." Ephesians 6:1-2

V____________
A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother. Proverbs 10:1

E____________
If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 1 Timothy 5:8

Scripture Readings
Exodus 20:12

The Small Catechism

As we hear God speak to us through His commandments, we will read the Small Catechism's definition of each commandment to help us better understand what God is calling us to.

The Fourth Commandment

Honor your father and your mother.

What does this mean?

We should fear and love God so that we do not despise or anger our parents and other authorities, but honor them, serve and obey them, love and cherish them.
