Ephesians 6 - Honor Your Parents

My notes taken from Pastor Walker's sermon at CVP in December.

Pastor Steve Walker, Central Valley Presbyterian Church, Dec. 29,2013
"Honoring Our Parents" Ephesians 6:1-3

Ephesians 6:1-3
Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.  Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

• God gave parents the authority over their children, it's their God given task, not just a job.
•   Honoring your parents is a way to honor Christ.
• All authority is placed and given by God.
• All people bear the same classification in heaven, we're neither male nor female, old or young, beautiful or handsome.
• Children would be foolish not to learn from the mistakes of their parents.
• You do not want to keep yourself bound to your old self.  
• Your parents authority over you, represents Christ's authority over His people.
• It is impossible to bring glory to Christ through honoring your parents without being filled with the Holy Spirit.
• We all seem to equate authority with glory and position.

• Now days, all most kids want is to graduate high school, get a great college education and get an amazing high paying job that takes up their life, when instead they need to concentrate on being godly examples, and following His will for them, living it out.
