When the Bible commands us to honor our parents, what role do the parents play in that? Today, Pastor Dan will encourage parents to embrace this important responsibility that we have. As a parent, each day brings its own challenges, but each day also brings its own opportunity to leave a lasting impact on children. How can you be more engaged with your kids? Are there things you have let slide because it is too difficult to address? The Lord has placed you in a pivotal role in your child’s life! 

The Bible commands us to honor our parents. That can be easier said than done sometimes. In today’s message, Pastor Dan will challenge listeners to honor their parents, not because they are always deserving, but because by doing so, we obey God. Most of what God asks of us is not easy to do on our own strength because He wants us to rely on Him! Does your relationship with your parents need to be restored? How can you seek the Lord’s help today in accomplishing that?  

Worshiping and fellowshipping together with the body of Christ in a church setting is so valuable! Today, Pastor Dan will provide more context on why respecting a Sabbath day is still important to believers. As parents, it is our responsibility to build habits and create a culture of consistency when it comes to this. Those who have experienced the blessing of a church family can attest to God’s Wisdom when he included this in the Ten Commandments! Are you prioritizing corporate fellowship in your life?  

Does the thought of preserving one day a week to rest scare you? Perhaps it sounds impossible! In today’s message, Pastor Dan will encourage listeners with the truth that God commanded us to rest. In a society with hundreds of things going on every day, rest is often the last thing on people’s minds. However, it is often in our most quiet and still moments that we can better hear the voice of God, and sense His presence. How might you adjust your weekly schedule to create more rest?  

What is the Sabbath day, and why was it included in the Ten Commandments? In today’s teaching, Pastor Dan will walk listeners through the history of this commandment, and how various people have interpreted it over time. In relation to the Sabbath, what rules were inspired by God, and which were inspired by man? It is a dangerous game to play when we begin taking God’s commands and putting our own spin on it! How can you be more in tune with the voice of God today?  

What comes to mind when you hear your own name… your parent’s name.. how about your boss’s name? We all have a person’s name in mind, and when we hear it, it makes us cringe just a little. There are also those names that evoke joy. What about God’s name? What should you feel when you hear the name Jesus? Is your first thought of joy or of anger? What should God’s name mean to us? In today’s message, Pastor Dan describes what God would want us to think when we hear His name. 

Have you ever done something that hurt someone, and you don’t know if they will ever forgive you? The Bible says we all sin against God, so how do we know He will forgive us?? In today’s message, Pastor Dan shows how knowing God’s name tells us all we need to know about His nature to forgive. No matter how much you or I sin, it’s in God’s very nature to forgive us. By really knowing His name, we can be sure He will always forgive us. All we have to do is ask for forgiveness and praise His name! 

People show love to each other in many different ways. It could be a hug, a high-five, or even a gift. There are a multitude of ways people show or express love to one another. When it comes to showing God love, what could you possibly do to express a proper amount of gratitude to the Lord? Well in today’s message, Pastor Dan shows you the simplest, and possibly the hardest, way to express love to the Lord. This expression of love may not be in the way you expect. 

Have you ever been falsely accused of doing something bad, simply because of who your family is? On the other side, have people ever assumed you were better than you are because of who your family is? Have you ever worked hard to accomplish a task, only for someone else to get the credit for it? In today’s message, Pastor Dan shows us how, in God’s eyes, we all receive credit… or punishment… based solely on our character, not the character of those around us. 

Would you rather read a book, or watch the movie version of the book? To read a book and understand what it is trying to tell you, you must pay attention to every detail. That is not the case when you watch the movie. The person who created the images for the movie may have left out or added to what the words actually say. In today’s message, Pastor Dan shows us why the second commandment tells us to read, or listen to God’s Word, rather than be distracted by an image that is someone’s idea of what He says.
