The Hardest Commandment? Honoring Parents Who Hurt You

The Hardest Commandment? Honoring Parents Who Hurt You

WhenGod commands us to honor our father and mother, what does that meanif they never lived honorably? What if they abused, abandoned, ordeeply wounded us? In this message, we'll look at what the Bible really teaches abouthonoring parents without excusing sin. We'll examine the lives ofDavid and Saul, Jesus' command to love our enemies, and Paul'steaching about leaving vengeance in God's hands. God never asks us to call evil good. He never asks us to ignoreabuse or pretend it didn't happen. But He does call us to trust Himwith justice and refuse to let bitterness define our lives. If you've ever struggled with anger, forgiveness, or painfulmemories from your past, this message is for you. My prayer is thatyou'll discover the freedom that comes from laying your burdens atthe feet of Jesus and becoming the person Christ has called you tobe—not the person your pain tried to make you.
