Episode Synopsis

Pastor Petr Rattay speaks at 30. 11. 2025In our fast-paced world, we often overlook the power of honor. Honor is more than politeness—it’s a deep attitude of respect that shapes our values and transforms relationships. It means recognizing the God-given value in others, treating people with dignity, and choosing words and actions that build up rather than tear down.Dishonor, on the other hand, damages relationships and creates division, resentment, and missed opportunities for connection. We all know how painful it is to feel disrespected. Dishonor can poison marriages, friendships, and even entire communities. Michal, David’s wife, mocked him as he worshiped before the Lord; her dishonor resulted in the loss of blessing.Scripture gives us powerful examples. David honored King Saul even when Saul pursued him. Instead of taking revenge, David spared his life, protecting his own integrity and opening the way for God to elevate him. In Nazareth, people dishonored Jesus and their lack of faith kept them from receiving miracles—dishonor closes doors. Ruth honored Naomi with loyalty and love, and this choice led to her redemption and a place in the lineage of Jesus. Honor often brings blessings that reach beyond our own generation.Where can you show more honor? Maybe there are relationships that need healing through respect, humility, or forgiveness. If you’ve felt dishonored, know that God sees you and values you.Honor your parents with gratitude, your spouse with kindness and affirmation, your coworkers by valuing their contributions, and your church community by appreciating and supporting its leaders. Above all, honor God through obedience, worship, and a life that reflects His character. When we choose honor, we unlock the rewards God has prepared for us. Amen.Zobrazit v YouVersionWelcome to Heart Prague Church! Join us for a powerful time of worship, prayer, and an inspiring message in both English and Czech.
