Philippians 6:1-3

 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.  “Honor your father and

mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—  “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life

on the earth.”

Have you ever said?

This is gonna hurt me more that it hurts you.

Quiet. I’m watching the game. Bring back the change.

How should I know? Ask your mother. I’m not made outta’ money.

You are going and you will have fun! If you break your leg…don’t come

running to me.

Quit playing with your food. Be quiet! Can’t you see I’m tryin’ to

think Why? Because I said so. You better get that piece of junk outta’

here before your mother gets home. Just wait til’ you have kids of your own. I was not sleeping…I was just resting my

eyes. Who pays the bills around here

anyways?

Judges 2:6-12After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take

possession of the land, each to their own inheritance. The people served the Lord throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of

the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the Lord had done for Israel.  Joshua son of Nun, the

servant of the Lord, died at the age of a hundred and ten. And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.  After that

whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor

what he had done for Israel.  Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord and served the Baals.  They forsook the Lord,

the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples

around them. They aroused the Lord’s anger

I John 2:16 - For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes

not from the Father but from the world.

Romans 1:28-32 - Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do

what ought not to be done. 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. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that

those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of

those who practice them.

1. With words

Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments

that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 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. Tie them as symbols

on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of

your houses and on your gates.

Proverbs 1:8-9Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake

your mother’s teaching. They are a garland to grace your head and

a chain to adorn your neck.

2. With our TimeDeuteronomy 6:4-9 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our

God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments

that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 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. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses

and on your gates.

I Timothy 5:8 - Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household,

has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

3. With your Lives

Genesis 18:18-19 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. For I have chosen him , so that he will direct his

children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring

about for Abraham what he has promised him.”

2 Kings 14:3

He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not as his father David had done. In everything he followed the example of his father

Joash.
