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

mountain peaks

with wonders

From desert to the sea
All nature testifies
Your splendor

All creation

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

wondrous works
To tell Your mighty deeds
To join the everlasting chorus

Praise the Lord
Sing His greatness
All creation
Praise the Lord

Its honors to the King
A roar of harmonies eternal

Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see

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...

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
We're So Glad You Were Here!
