Catechism and Sacraments Q & A: What Does God Require in the Fourth and Fifth Commandments?

Dec 1, 2022    Jeff Peck , Aaron Klein

This episode will explore question 10 of the New City Catechism with our panel: Presby Preschool Director Jeff Peck, and Senior Pastor Aaron Klein


The tenth question in the New City Catechism is: What Does God Require in the Fourth and Fifth Commandments?


The answer is: Fourth, that on the Sabbath Day we spend time in public and private worship of God, rest from routine employment, serve the Lord and others, and so anticipate the eternal Sabbath. Fifth, that we love and honor our father and our mother, submitting to their Godly discipline and direction.


The Bible passage this question and answer is based on is Leviticus 19:3, which says,

"Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God."
