Lord's Day 39 Submit to all authority and God will bless you richly

Submit to all authority and God will bless you richly:

1. What God requires of children (and everybody under authority)
2. What God requires of adults (and everybody in authority)

Questions to think about during the sermon:
Introduction:
1 Why do some people say that the Fifth Commandment is the most difficult commandment to keep?
Point 1:
2 According to the world, what is the goal of parenting? So: on what points does the world agree with us
when it comes to raising children?
3 What is our goal in parenting? What must we teach our children?
4 When we have an evil government, how does Jesus fit in?
5 Is honoring our parents more important than honoring others in authority over us?
Point 2:
6 What does it mean to honour someone? What is the opposite? [Don’t say, ‘dishonour’ ]
7 The Bible teaches that a man should be the head of his household. What happens when a man does not do
so?
