Call to Worship

Proverbs 4:1-4, 10 (ESV)

1 Hear, O sons, a father's instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight, 2 for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching. 3 When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, 4 he taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live. 10 Hear, my son, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many.

You made the starry hosts

You traced the

mountain peaks

You paint the evening skies

with wonders

The earth it is Your throne

From desert to the sea

All nature testifies

Your splendor

Praise the Lord

Praise the Lord

Sing His greatness

All creation

Praise the Lord

Raise your voice

You heights

and all you depths

From furthest east to west

Let everything

that has breath

Praise the Lord

You reached into the dust

In love Your Spirit breathed

You formed us

in Your very likeness

To know Your

wondrous works

To tell Your mighty deeds

To join the everlasting chorus

Praise the Lord

Praise the Lord

Sing His greatness

All creation

Praise the Lord

Raise your voice

You heights

and all you depths

From furthest east to west

Let drums and choirs ring out

Let every nation bring

Its honors to the King

A roar of harmonies eternal

Praise the Lord

Sing His greatness

All creation

Praise the Lord

Early in the morning

Our song shall rise to Thee

Holy, holy, holy

All the saints adore Thee

Casting down their

golden crowns

Around the glassy sea

Cherubim and seraphim

Falling down before Thee

hide Thee

Though the eye of sinful man

Thy glory may not see

Only Thou art holy

There is none beside thee

Perfect in power

None beside Thee

Perfect in power

None beside Thee

Perfect in power

My God forever

You were and are

And You will be

I stand before Thee

King of glory

Holy are You Lord

None beside Thee

Perfect in power

My God forever

You were and are

And You will be

You were and are

And You will be

On the Fifth Commandment with Consideration Given to What We Can Learn from the Arrangement of the Decalogue

Exodus 20:12 (ESV)

12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

What Can We Learn from the Arrangement of the Decalogue?

 The arrangement of the Ten Commandments shows us a vertical and horizontal aspect of our obedience to God.

Matthew 22:37–39 ESV

37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.

38 This is the great and first commandment.

39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

 The Fifth Commandment

1 Peter 2:13 ESV

13 Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution...

Romans 13:1 ESV

1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

Romans 13:7 ESV

7 Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed.

1 Timothy 5:17 ESV

17 Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.

Hebrews 13:17 ESV

17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you. Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution...

Reverence

Obedience

Ephesians 6:1 ESV

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Gratitude

Exodus 20:12 ESV

12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

Ephesians 6:2 ESV

2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise),

 Promise

 Christ

O great God of highest heav'n

Occupy my lowly heart

Own it all and reign supreme

Conquer every rebel pow'r

Let no vice or sin remain

That resists Your holy war

You have loved

and purchased me

Make me Yours forever more

I was blinded by my sin

Had no ears to hear Your voice

Did not know Your love within

Had no taste for heaven's joys

Then Your Spirit gave me life

Opened up Your word to me

Through the gospel

of Your Son

Gave me endless

hope and peace

Help me now to live a life

That's dependent

on Your grace

Keep my heart

and guard my soul

From the evils that I face

You are worthy to be praised

With my every

thought and deed

O great God of highest heav'n

Glorify Your Name

through me

You are worthy to be praised

With my every

thought and deed

O great God of highest heav'n

Glorify Your Name

through me
