The Weight of Honor

Clay Thornton · Deuteronomy 8 · July 12, 2026

About This Sermon

A study of the fifth commandment—"Honor your father and mother"—and the wisdom in it that reaches far beyond the family. Drawing on Deuteronomy 8 and Ephesians 6, this lesson traces how gratitude for the gift of life produces honor, while entitlement and forgetting quietly erode it. A call to remember those who sacrificed to bring us where we are, and to become people who place weight where God places value.
