The Ten Commandments: Episode Seven

In the second season of Red River Reformed, we will be discussing the Ten Commandments through the lens of their original meaning, their fulfilment in the New Testament, and their ongoing application for us today. In this episode we discuss the fifth commandment. In the fifth commandment, God instructs us to honour our father and mother as those whom he has given to lead, care for, and nurture us in the Lord.

We will release episodes weekly on Tuesdays. If you have questions comment or email us! (redriverreformed@gmail.com) We will do a mailbag episode at the end of the season.

Here are some questions we discuss in this episode:

• What does it mean to honour our father and mother?
• How does this commandment relate to the right worship of God and the flourishing of human society?
• What are the obligations of children to their parents and parents to their children?
• How do we honour our parents when they sin?
• What are the limits of parental authority? How can we honour our parents without condoning sin or abuse?
• How does the New Testament expand and deepen our understanding of this commandment?
• Why is it important for churches to be intergenerational?
• What is the role of spiritual fathers and mothers in the Church, the family of God?
