“YOUR ONLINE CHURCH”

Hear the word of God and grow in the understanding
and knowledge of Jesus Christ, as your Lord and Saviour.

PASTOR ANDREW RUSSELL

GOD THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

SERMON NOTES
Pastor Andrew Russell preaches on Colossians 3:20-21. The duties of children and parents: Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord, v. 20. They must be willing to do all their lawful commands, and be at their direction and disposal; as those who have a natural right and are fitter to direct them than themselves. The apostle (Eph. vi. 2) requires them to honour as well as obey their parents; they must esteem them and think honourably of them, as the obedience of their lives must proceed from the esteem and opinion of their minds. And parents must be tender, as well as children obedient (v. 21): "Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged. Let not your authority over them be exercised with rigour and severity, but with kindness and gentleness, lest you raise their passions and discourage them in their duty, and by holding the reins too tight make them fly out with greater fierceness." The bad temper and example of imprudent parents often prove a great hindrance to their children and a stumbling-block in their way.
