Honor Widows

In this message from 1 Timothy 5:3-16, Peter Reyes explores God’s heart for caring for widows and what that means for the church today. The passage distinguishes between older widows without family support (whom the church should care for) and younger widows (whom Paul encourages to remarry). Peter examines the biblical qualifications and good works expected of widows receiving church support, traces the historical importance of widow care in Scripture, and applies these principles to our responsibility to honor and provide for our own elderly family members. This message challenges believers to live out the command to honor father and mother, and to ensure that family members care for their own before the church’s resources are used.
