Guest: David Marvin, Teaching Pastor, Prestonwood Baptist Church If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page. A few weeks ago, Pastor David Marvin taught an incredible lesson from the Word of God looking at the fifth commandment, honoring your father and mother. I was able to sit down and have an incredible conversation with Pastor Marvin about the practical aspects of living out this commandment, especially when it comes to older parents and the different relationships that we, as parents ourselves, have with our parents. Pastor Marvin shared some powerful truths about learning to respect the position of authority that God has established even if the performance of your parents was not the best. We talked about the importance of seeking forgiveness and what that truly entails, which can be filled with many obstacles. Our God is a just and merciful God who desires for us to honor our parents and that commandment should be taken to heart and lived out for others to see. When we trust God, He can do amazing things in the lives of our families. One resource that I mentioned and found helpful in this discussion was the following: When People are Big and God is Small: Overcoming Peer Pressure, Codependency, and the Fear of Man by Edward Welch
Honor Your Parents: A Sermon on Deuteronomy 5:16 by Jason S. DeRouchie
When God calls Israel to honor Fathers and Mothers, God is speaking to our first identity—as sons and daughters—and saying that at every stage of life, we are to honor our parents. For some of us, that feels natural. But for others… it feels impossible. What do you do when God commands you to honor someone who has both given you life… and deeply disappointed you? Exodus 19:1-11
March 15, 2026 Pastor Paul Titus
Honoring parents is more than childhood obedience; it is a lifelong command rooted in God's design for blessing, order, and longevity. In part nine of the Two Sets of Ten series, this sermon explores the fifth commandment: “Honor your father and your mother” (Exodus 20:12), revealing why it is the only commandment given with a direct promise.Scripture makes clear that honoring parents is not the same as blind obedience. While children are instructed to obey their parents “in the Lord” (Ephesians 6:1), honor carries a deeper meaning. One tied to respect, reputation, gratitude, and the way a life reflects the family that raised it. Drawing from passages like Deuteronomy 5:16 and Ephesians 6:2, this message explains how honor extends beyond childhood and remains relevant even into adulthood.This teaching carefully distinguishes between honoring and obeying, offering biblical clarity for complex family dynamics. Whether parents were loving, absent, abusive, adoptive, or biological, God still calls believers to honor the role they played in bringing life and shaping identity. Jesus Himself reaffirmed this command (Matthew 15:4), underscoring its seriousness and permanence.Through biblical insight and practical application, the sermon addresses forgiveness, speech, and the power of words. Scripture warns against cursing parents (Exodus 21:17), revealing how speech reflects the heart and carries spiritual weight. Honoring parents includes refusing to speak ill of them, choosing forgiveness, and allowing God—not bitterness—to bring healing and justice.This message also challenges believers to examine how their lives bring honor or dishonor through character, conduct, and obedience to God. Proverbs and the teachings of Jesus remind us that how we live becomes a testimony—not only of our faith, but of those who raised us.Ultimately, this sermon calls believers to walk in maturity, humility, and grace. Honoring parents is not about excusing sin or maintaining unhealthy access—it is about aligning the heart with God's Word, releasing offense, and trusting His promise: that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you (Exodus 20:12).If you desire biblical clarity, healing from family wounds, and a deeper understanding of God's promises, this teaching will challenge your perspective and strengthen your walk in obedience and faith.Referenced Verses: Exodus 20:12Ephesians 6:2Deuteronomy 5:16Ephesians 6:1Matthew 15:4Exodus 21:17Proverbs 22:6-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

Family relationships are being reexamined across today's culture, as more adult children choose to cut off contact with their parents in the name of “boundaries.” What began as a broader social trend is now affecting Christian and Apostolic families as well.In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard addresses a challenging and deeply personal question: Does Scripture support an adult Christian cutting ties with Christian parents?With biblical clarity and pastoral sensitivity, Dr. Bernard explores the command to honor father and mother (Exodus 20:12), the role of healthy boundaries, and personal responsibility in strained relationships. Rather than adopting cultural narratives uncritically, this conversation invites believers to evaluate family conflict through the lens of Scripture.This episode was inspired by a recent article from The Federalist highlighting the growing trend of family estrangement.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

Sermon Series: Decalogue Preacher: Josh White 10.12.25
From Pastor David Peck | From the sermon series Family Discipleship. Because God created and instituted the family to display His glory, we will study His word to see more clearly how the roles He has given us reveal His character to us individually, as families, as a church and to the world around us.
Did you know the bible says that anyone who dishonors their parents should be put to death? Though some of the most difficult relationships, Jesus calls us to obey our father and mother. Troy unpacks how we are to do this with grace and peace.
In an age of profound moral confusion, the prevailing narratives of "live your truth" and "determine your own happiness" are increasingly revealing themselves as bankrupt. For those yearning for real truth and abundant life, it's time to stop listening to your gut and start listening to God. In this sermon series, we will delve into the Ten Commandments, not as restrictive rules, but as foundational principles for a flourishing life with God. God is not a killjoy imposing burdensome regulations; He is the very essence of joy. He is not a taskmaster in the sky; He is a present Redeemer. Each commandment reveals God's good character, illuminates our need for a savior, points us to the provision of Jesus, and guides us into a life of true freedom.

In this episode, we explore the profound biblical commandment to honor our parents, rooted in both Old and New Testament teachings. From the foundational law in Exodus 20:11 and Deuteronomy 5:16, to the solemn warning in Deuteronomy 27:16, and the New Testament reinforcement in Ephesians 6:1-3, we uncover the spiritual weight and blessing attached to honoring our father and mother. We'll also reflect on Jesus' personal example in John 19:26-27 and His broader teaching in Matthew 12:48, where we learn how honor and obedience transcend bloodlines to reflect God's heart. Join us for a thoughtful, Scripture-rich conversation on what it truly means to live out this commandment today.
Because family matters and is central to God's purpose of bringing up godly children and securing the stability of society, we must train our children to honor their parents into old age and to do the same ourselves. I. Because Family Matters, the People of Israel were Commanded to Honor Father and Mother. Ex 20:12 II. Because Family Matters: We must forge a biblical culture that values and upholds parenthood III. Because Family Matters, Our Homes Must be Centers of Faith-filled Discipleship. Ex 6:1-4The sermon emphasizes the vital role of family in God's plan, drawing from Exodus 20 and Ephesians 6 to highlight the importance of honoring parents and fostering a faith-filled home. It asserts that healthy families are foundational for individual well-being, societal stability, and national flourishing, urging both children to obey and fathers to discipline with grace, ultimately pointing to Christ as the source of redemption and guidance for navigating the complexities of family life and resisting the destructive influences of a secular culture.
"If you're struggling to determine whether your parents deserve honor, remember that God's Kingdom doesn't operate on what people deserve. It operates on grace. Honor is a matter of the heart. When Jesus spoke with the religious leaders, He addressed hearts that only wanted to justify their actions rather than obey God's Word. When we approach our parents with a heart full of love, honor flows naturally."Leave a comment for Tyra: https://incourage.me/?p=252077--Explore DaySpring's curated collection of inspirational gifts — marked down to only $5 and $10.

The fifth commandment is not just about obedience, but about shaping our entire approach to relationships and authority. The Ten Commandments offers a guide to shift from a modern, individualistic mindset to one that values responsibility, legacy, and respect for divinely-appointed authority. In this week's Sunday message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter encourages us that honoring our parents, even when it's difficult, is a pathway to personal growth, societal stability, and spiritual maturity. It's a call to reflect on how our family dynamics shape our broader worldview and our relationship with God.
