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.

Jordon GilmoreKey TextExodus 20:12 – “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.”Ephesians 6:1–3 – The first commandment with a promise.1. Why This Commandment MattersThis command sits in the middle of the Ten Commandments—between spiritual laws and moral laws.Its placement shows how important honoring parents is to God.Jesus fulfilled the law perfectly:He satisfied the law's demands.He modeled how to live a holy, obedient life.2. What “Honor” Really MeansHonor = respect in word and action, with an inward attitude of esteem.Honor begins with respecting the position of parent, even when the person fell short.The goal is respect for both position and merit—but position still deserves honor.Example: saluting the rank/uniform, not the person—honoring authority even when relationships are difficult.3. A Cultural Tension We Must NavigateOur generation emphasizes emotional health and personal healing—which is good.But reflecting on childhood wounds can sometimes harden hearts toward parents.Even in cases of neglect, abuse, immaturity, or addiction:God's command does not change.The challenge: learning how to honor parents without denying real pain.4. The Promise Attached to HonorPaul calls this the first commandment with a promise:“That it may go well with you and that you may live long.”We never graduate from this command—even as adults.There is wisdom and benefit built into honoring parents.5. Three Benefits of Honoring ParentsPersonal HealingSetting a Generational PatternBreaking Generational Trauma6. God Takes Disobedience SeriouslyRomans 1:28–32 and 2 Timothy 3:1–5 list “disobedient to parents” alongside grave sins.Why so serious?It violates God's divine order meant for protection.Rejecting earthly authority makes it harder to submit to God's authority.Hebrews 12:9 – Respecting earthly parents trains us to honor God as Father.7. Jesus as the Perfect ExampleLuke 2:41–52 – Jesus at age 12 in the temple.Though spiritually exceptional, Jesus:Returned home.Was submissive to His parents.For 18 years, He lived under their authority.Result: “Jesus increased in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man.”Lesson:Surpassing parents in knowledge, skill, or spirituality does not remove the call to honor.8. Honor in Action, Not Just WordsMatthew 15:3–9 – Jesus condemns “lip-service honor.”The Pharisees used religion to avoid caring for parents.We should pray: “Lord, what does honor look like in this season?”9. Giving Grace and Ongoing Care10. A Generational Vision (Jeremiah 35)Lesson:Obedience to parents produces long-term generational protection and blessing.What we model today may protect descendants we will never meet.11. Final ChallengeHonoring parents is not just personal—it's generational.Our obedience today shapes our children, grandchildren, and beyond.God calls families to be faithful across generations.It begins with honoring our fathers and mothers.

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 command to honor your father and mother is one to be obeyed throughout your life, not just when you are a child. This is because this commandment serves as a training ground for honoring the LORD who is the one to grant the promise associated with the command. Have you maximally honored your parents? Listen to Pastor Brett's exhortation for more.

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.

In this episode of the Salty Saints Podcast, Randy and I dive into the fourth commandment, "Honor your father and mother." We explore the significance of this commandment, which is unique as it shifts focus from our relationship with God to our relationships with our parents. We discuss the implications of honoring parents, especially in cases where they may not fulfill their roles appropriately due to dysfunction, abuse, or neglect. We emphasize that parents are meant to represent God and authority in a child's life, providing stability, protection, and love. However, we acknowledge that not all parents embody these qualities, and we address how to navigate honoring parents who may have failed in their responsibilities. We discuss the importance of acceptance, forgiveness, and the possibility of loving them from a distance when necessary. Throughout the conversation, we highlight that honoring parents does not mean endorsing their wrongdoings. Instead, it involves recognizing their humanity and the complexities of their actions while striving to break cycles of dysfunction in our own parenting. We also touch on the broader implications of honoring authority figures in general, as outlined in scripture. Ultimately, we remind our listeners that God calls us to reflect His character in our relationships, even with those who have hurt us. This episode serves as a reminder that while the journey of honoring our parents can be challenging, it is rooted in our understanding of God's love and grace towards us.
