As we go through the Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ video series as a church family our desire is to help each of us to remain focused on Jesus and the fact that we are his disciples and need to continue living as such. This Family Worship Guide is provided to help you discuss how to cherish Jesus more with those in your home.

Worship Through Song

Singing is part of the Christian Faith. Consider:1 Chronicles 16:9, 23; Colossians 3:16; Psalm 100; Psalm 104:31-35.Including singing in our homes is a way to model and teach our kids about this part of the Christian’s Life. Including singing in our homes also can enhance our families’ time as they sing along side other believers in corporate singing on Sundays.

Consider singing one or more of these songs as a family:

• The Life
• Jesus only Jesus
• Even So Come

Worship Through Prayer

In the life of Jesus, we have a perfect example of the importance of prayer. He demonstrated this through His instruction on how to pray (The Lord’s Prayer) and the many examples we find in the Gospels of Him praying (for example: Matthew 14:23; Mark 14:32-42; Luke 6:12; John 17). Therefore, followers of Jesus should also be people of prayer.

Here is one example of how to pray for family and neighbors:

Use the Lord’s Prayer as found in Matthew 6:9-13 as a guide.

For example: 

• Pray for God to be honored and glorified in your family and in your neighbor’s family.
• Pray for God’s will to be done in your family and your neighbors’ family. 
• Pray for God to provide for the needs of your family and neighbors.  
• Pray for God to help your family and neighbor’s family members to be forgiving to one another. 
• Pray for God to help protect your family and your neighbor’s family from sin’s temptation.
