Let’s be honest. We live in an age which tends to dis-honour older people and ideas. We worship youth culture and idolize teenage singers and actors.

That’s why it’s increasingly important to honour those who have gone before us. They have given us life, made sacrifices, and gained hard fought wisdom and experience through their own blood, sweat and tears.

This sermon (also released as a podcast episode) is a part of our series on the 10 Commandments and unpacks commandment number five in Exodus 20:12: “Honour your father and your mother…”

The word “honour” can be vague. So we look at context to better understand what was (and is) meant, and provide three specific applications to help us honour our parents today.

Abraham Lincoln said: “I remember my mother’s prayers. They have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.” May our prayers also cling to our parents.
