Ephesians 6:1-3
Children, obey your parents in the
Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your
father and mother”—which is the
first commandment with a
3
promise— “so that it may go well
with you and that you may enjoy
long life on the earth.”
OBEY
“WHEN YOU TEACH YOUR
CHILDREN TO BE OBEDIENT
TO YOU, YOU GIVE THEM THE
OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN TO
YIELD TO GOD.”
--
HONOR –
TO GIVE VALUE
“HONORING OUR PARENTS
GOES BEYOND OBEDIENCE
TO A PLACE WHERE WE
BESTOW VALUE AND
RESPECT. IT IS A LIFE-LONG
CALLING MOTIVATED BY
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.”

Jesus.”
