BIG IDEA: Freedom comes through honouring God-given authority.
: ‘they disobey their parents’
29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity.
They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice.
They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
; disobedient to their parents.
3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents...
Jewish scholars tended to divide the commandments five and five.
In doing this, they included the honouring of parents under our duty to God.
This makes sense.
How could we claim to honour God, whom we have not seen, if we fail to honour our parents, who we do see?
Parental authority is divinely delegated and is an integral part of our reverence for God.
; at the top of a whole list of commands, and preceded by “be holy, because I the Lord your God am holy, God says, ‘each of you must respect your mother and father.
I am the Lord your God.
The death penalty was pronounced upon anyone who cursed their parents, it was that serious to God.
; “Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.
So what about us as parents?
BIG IDEA: Freedom comes through honouring God-given authority.
This command has as much to do with parents as well.
Are you a parent with children here this morning?
Children are gifts from God;
27 I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.
28 So now I give him to the Lord.
For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.”
And he worshiped the Lord there.
The purpose for your authority in the lives of your children is not to hold them under your power, but to empower them to be self-controlled people living freely under the authority if God.
Jesus is an example of this.
The One who commands you, the One who possesses all authority, came as a servant.
He is a ruler who serves; he is also a servant who rules.
He exercises sovereign authority that is kind - authority exercised on behalf of his subjects.
In , Jesus, who knew that the Father had put all things under his authority, put on a towel and washed the disciples' feet.
As his people submit to his authority, they are empowered to live freely in the freedom of the gospel.
Instruction starts at home; , ,
4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
5 Love the Lordyour God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.
7 Impress them on your children.
Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
3 For I too was a son to my father,
still tender, and cherished by my mother.
4 Then he taught me, and he said to me,
“Take hold of my words with all your heart;
keep my commands, and you will live.
What do we do when children don’t obey us?
It’s our responsibility.
Use your authority in the most loving, firm and gracious way that you are able.
Don’t let the seed of autonomy grow deep.
Discipline is not an option;
Whoever spares the rod hates their children,
but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.
What about those of us who are children?
BIG IDEA: Freedom comes through honouring God-given authority.
There is a direct link between our attitude to our parents authority and our attitude to God’s authority.
,
22 Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.
4 The father of a righteous child has great joy;
a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him.
25 May your father and mother rejoice;
may she who gave you birth be joyful!
Discipline; submit to it.
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful.
Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Love;
Joseph: , , ,
New International Version (NIV)
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph!
Is my father still living?”
But his brothers were not able to answer him, because they were terrified at his presence.
New International Version (NIV)
29 Joseph had his chariot made ready and went to Goshen to meet his father Israel.
As soon as Joseph appeared before him, he threw his arms around his father and wept for a long time.
New International Version (NIV)
7 Then Joseph brought his father Jacob in and presented him before Pharaoh.
After Jacob blessed Pharaoh,
11 So Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh directed.
Obedience;
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Tedd Trip has a thing called the ‘circle of great blessing’.
God doesn’t establish mum’s authority to make our lives miserable.
He put her in charge so we could receive the joy, peace, protection and happiness that comes from walking in God’s ways and doing his will.
Respect;
17 “The eye that mocks a father,
that scorns an aged mother,
will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley,
will be eaten by the vultures.
Kaedom:
Became a Christian and his dad just teased him endlessly about it.
In front of the family at family dinners, in public.
Just made a laughing stock out of him.
But it was incredible to see his love for his dad remain.
He always asked for prayer for his dad, and would through his life just quietly go about following Jesus.
34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth.
I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
