You're trying to figure out relationships—how to love your spouse, how to raise your kids... But what about the ones who raised you?

This week, we're wrapping up our series by hitting one of the hardest, most fundamental commands God ever gave us: Honor your father and your mother.

This isn't about being perfect; it's about building a life that actually works. We're talking about God’s blueprint for order, protection, and provision—a life with less heartache because you listened to the King's authority structure.

🤯 In This Message, We Get Real About:

The Bridge Command: It sits between loving God and loving people. If we get this wrong, the rest of our relationships suffer.

The Huge Promise: The Bible says there’s a blessing—provision and long life—connected to this. It’s not a guaranteed perfect life, but it is an iron-clad guarantee of God’s protective hand when you align with His structure.

Kids, Listen Up! How to obey immediately, happily, and completely. This isn't just a rule; it’s how you build trust and become ready for freedom later.

The Elephant in the Room: The Bad Parent. What if your mom or dad hurt you? Honoring them doesn't mean inviting them back into your trauma. For some of us, honoring is all about one word: FORGIVENESS. We talk about dropping that heavy, life-draining chain and letting the Lord carry the weight.

You want stability? You want a stronger family? It starts here. This isn’t a warm fuzzy message; it’s a necessary one. Hit play and let's go.
