Children and Parents

October 03, 2021 | Tyler Carrera

Passage: Exodus 20:12

There are no shortages of questions to ask about how children are supposed to relate to their parents. Our culture often underemphasizes the role of children in making a family run well, but the Bible has plenty to say on the topic. The thing we hear most is to “honor” our parents, but that may cause more questions than answers. Today we will try to unpack what it means for children to honor their parents.

CALL TO WORSHIP 

Psalm 103:1-5;13-23

CONFESSION

Almighty and most merciful Father,

we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.

We have followed too much the devices and desires

of our own hearts.

We have offended against your holy laws.

We have left undone those things which we ought to have done,

and we have done those things which we ought not

to have done;

and apart from your grace, there is no health in us.

O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Spare all those who confess their faults.

Restore all those who are penitent, according to your promises

declared to all people in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake,

that we may now live a godly, righteous, and sober life,

to the glory of your holy Name. Amen.

CONFESSION OF FAITH (Apostle’s Creed)

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

      creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

      who was conceived by the Holy Spirit

      born of the virgin Mary.

      suffered under Pontius Pilate,

      was crucified, died, and was buried;

      He descended to the dead.

      On the third day he rose again.

      He ascended into heaven

      and is seated at the right hand of the Father

      He is coming again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

      the holy catholic* church,

      the communion of saints,

      the forgiveness of sins,

      the resurrection of the body,

      and the life everlasting. Amen.

Come Praise & Glorify

Sovereign Grace

Come praise and glorify our God

The Father of our Lord

In Christ He has in heav'nly realms

His blessings on us poured

For pure and blameless in His sight

He destined us to be

And now we've been adopted through

His Son eternally

To the praise of Your glory

To the praise of Your mercy and grace

To the praise of Your glory

You are the God who saves

Come praise and glorify our God

Who gives His grace in Christ

In Him our sins are washed away

Redeemed through sacrifice

In Him God has made known to us

The myst'ry of His will

That Christ should be the head of all

His purpose to fulfill

Come praise and glorify our God

For we've believed the Word

And through our faith we have a seal

The Spirit of the Lord

The Spirit guarantees our hope

Until redemption's done

Until we join in endless praise

To God the Three in One


Behold Our God 

Sovereign Grace

Who has held the oceans in His hands

Who has numbered every grain of sand

Kings and nations tremble at His voice

All creation rises to rejoice

Behold our God seated on His throne 

Come let us adore Him

Behold our King nothing can compare

Come let us adore Him

Who has given counsel to the Lord

Who can question any of His words

Who can teach the One who knows all things

Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds

Who has felt the nails upon His hand

Bearing all the guilt of sinful man

God eternal humbled to the grave

Jesus Savior risen now to reign

You will reign forever 

Let Your glory fill the earth 


I Surrender All 

Citizens

All to Jesus I surrender

All to him I freely give

I will ever love and trust him

In his presence daily live.

All to Jesus I surrender

Humbly at his feet I bow

Worldly pleasures all forsaken

Take me, Jesus, take me now

I surrender all, I surrender all

All to thee, my blessed Savior

I surrender all

All to Jesus I surrender

Lord, I give myself to thee

Fill me with thy love and power

Let thy blessing fall on me.

Oh the joy of full salvation

Sin and death defeated

Glory to His name

SCRIPTURE READING

 

SERMON

 

COMMUNION

 

Remembrance

Hillsong Worship

 

I take the bread of life

Broken for all my sin

Your body crucified

To make me whole again

 

I will recall the cup

Poured out in sacrifice

To trade this sinner's end

For Your new covenant

 

Hallelujah

I'll live my life in remembrance

Hallelujah

Your promise I won't forget

 

I'll walk salvation's road

With fear and trembling

Your way borne as my own

As Christ is formed in me

 

If ever I should lose my way

If ever I deny Your grace

Remind me of the price You paid

Hallelujah

I'll live in remembrance

 

You've been so so good to me

You've been so so good to me

Oh to think where I would be

If not for You if not for You

 

As far as heights reach from the depths

As far as east is from the west

So far Your grace has carried me

Until I see You face to face

Until at last I've won my race

Remind me You're not finished yet

 

 

What A Beautiful Name / Agnus Dei

Hillsong Worship

 

You were the Word at the beginning

One with God the Lord Most High

Your hidden glory in creation

Now revealed in You our Christ

 

What a beautiful Name it is what a beautiful Name it is

The Name of Jesus Christ my King

What a beautiful Name it is nothing compares to this

What a beautiful Name it is the Name of Jesus

 

You could have had heaven without us

But, Jesus You brought heaven down

My sin was great Your love was greater

What could separate us now

 

What a wonderful Name it is 

what a wonderful Name it is

The Name of Jesus Christ my King

What a wonderful Name it is nothing compares to this

What a wonderful Name it is the Name of Jesus

What a wonderful Name it is the Name of Jesus

 

Death could not hold You, the veil tore before You

You silence the boast of sin and grave

The heavens are roaring the praise of Your glory

For You are raised to life again

You have no rival You have no equal

Now and forever God You reign

Yours is the kingdom Yours is the glory

Yours is the Name above all names

 

What a powerful Name it is what a powerful Name it is

The Name of Jesus Christ my King

What a powerful Name it is nothing can stand against

What a powerful Name it is the Name of Jesus

 

Holy, holy are You Lord, God Almighty

Worthy is the Lamb

You are holy
