Ring of Truth Pastor Dan Sexton

God created all of us in His image. No matter what defects the world may tag on some individuals, the Lord values ALL. Today, Pastor Dan will speak to this powerful truth as he challenges listeners to view all of life the same way that God does - sacred. Never should we want to destroy what God created. When we view all living beings as image bearers of God, this should inspire a greater heart of love for humanity. How can you be a better advocate for life in your community today? 

Is the sixth commandment really as simple as “Do not kill?” In today’s message, Pastor Dan will show listeners that we have a moral responsibility that stretches beyond the act of murder. We know that God looks at the heart. Jesus made this clear during His time on earth. Is your heart one that promotes life? The Lord wants to rid your heart of all malice, anger, and envy. He wants to use you as a vessel to bring more lives to know Him! How can you guard your heart from evil intentions today?  

What example did Jesus set for us in honoring His parents? In today’s teaching, Pastor Dan will continue to unpack the fifth commandment to honor your father and mother. God the Father sent His only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and save the world from their sins. Even in a task such as this, Jesus obeyed. As God in human flesh, Jesus still honored His parents on earth. We can always look to Jesus as our greatest example of how to live. How can you use His life to inspire your own?  

When the Bible commands us to honor our parents, what role do the parents play in that? Today, Pastor Dan will encourage parents to embrace this important responsibility that we have. As a parent, each day brings its own challenges, but each day also brings its own opportunity to leave a lasting impact on children. How can you be more engaged with your kids? Are there things you have let slide because it is too difficult to address? The Lord has placed you in a pivotal role in your child’s life! 

The Bible commands us to honor our parents. That can be easier said than done sometimes. In today’s message, Pastor Dan will challenge listeners to honor their parents, not because they are always deserving, but because by doing so, we obey God. Most of what God asks of us is not easy to do on our own strength because He wants us to rely on Him! Does your relationship with your parents need to be restored? How can you seek the Lord’s help today in accomplishing that?  

Worshiping and fellowshipping together with the body of Christ in a church setting is so valuable! Today, Pastor Dan will provide more context on why respecting a Sabbath day is still important to believers. As parents, it is our responsibility to build habits and create a culture of consistency when it comes to this. Those who have experienced the blessing of a church family can attest to God’s Wisdom when he included this in the Ten Commandments! Are you prioritizing corporate fellowship in your life?
