Family Worship 3/22/20

Updated: Mar 27, 2020

Donald Witney writes "Basically, there are three elements to family worship: read the Bible, pray, and sing. Only three syllables to remember—read, pray, sing. Jerry Marcellino, in his useful booklet, Recovering the Lost Treasure of Family Worship uses three S’s as a reminder: Scripture, supplication, and song. But the elements are so simple that you probably will not need any reminders about what to do. And you don’t need to prepare anything beforehand. Just read, pray, and sing."

Sing & Read

Here are some songs to sing and scriptures to read during your time of family worship.

How great thou art - Psalms 92:1-5

How deep the Father Love for us - Romans 5:6-8

It is Well with my soul - Philippians 4:4-7

Be Thou my Vision - Psalms 91

Jesus I my Cross have Taken - Philippians 3:12-16

Confession of Faith

Take some time to go through A Baptist Catechism question 26 with your family during your time of family worship.

Question 26: How did Christ, being the Son of God, become man?

Answer: Christ, the Son of God became man by taking to himself a true body and a reasonable soul. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and was born of her, yet without sin.

Scriptures to read: Hebrews 2:14; 4:14; 7:26; Matthew 26:38; Luke 1:31, 35; 2:52; John 1:14; 12:27; Colossians 2:9.
