The Fifth Commandment - Exodus 20 / Matthew 15

About this episode

This sermon explores the significance of the Fifth Commandment, emphasizing the importance of honoring parents despite personal challenges.

In this sermon, we look at the Fifth Commandment which is to 'Honour our Father and our Mother'. We think about how painful this might be for those who have lost their parents - or those who didn't have or who don't have a good relationship with their parents. But we think through why this commandment is important and why it is necessary that we honour our parents even if we don't agree with them. First preached: 15th February 2026. Speaker: James McNay.
