Awake #12

Scripture:  Ephesians 6:1-9

Speaker:  Scott Meyer

Summary: The apostle Paul's teachings on household codes are revolutionary, as they call for mutual submission within families, countering traditional hierarchical norms.  Scott encourages children to obey their parents not just as a cultural norm but as an act of honoring God. Moreover, he challenges parents (or guardians) to nurture their children without provoking anger, emphasizing the importance of leading with love, transparency, and forgiveness.

Applying these principles in everyday life, both in family dynamics and professional relationships, fosters a community centered on mutual respect and service in Christ.
