Marriage should be honored by all… Hebrew 13:4 (NIV)
1. We fail to honor when we treat the extra-ordinary ordinary
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” Mark 6:3-4 (NIV)
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8 (ESV)
2. God shows up where He is honored
When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith… Matthew 8:11 (ESV)
And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief. Mark 6:5-6 (NIV)
let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. Ephesians 5:32 (ESV)
