Christian Family Worship Resources & Examples

We've been talking about family worship in our sermons and small groups some lately. Here are a few videos I recorded over the last few years, that explains our process of family worship in our home. Each family will certainly have to adapt this to their own specific needs and situations, but hopefully these are helpful.


This one is on how we do family worship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unxzzIGKc2Q&t=880s

This one is an example of our family actually doing family worship at home. Please note, we usually do not go 33 minutes. It's usually maybe 10 minutes or so. But sometimes the Lord does bless where your kids have lots of questions and one thing leads to the next. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkXkUPs5aWA

Also, here are links to some of the resources I have used for family worship, some of which I mention in the videos.

These two I have read recently with the kids and are excellent, going through the books of Genesis-Deuteronomy with explanations, questions, and answers: https://www.heritagebooks.org/products/beginning-and-wilderness-family-worship-bundle.html

Here is the Child's Story Bible I have used for years, and have gone through 4-5 times over the last 7 years or so with the kids: https://www.heritagebooks.org/products/the-childs-story-bible-vos.html

Bible Memory verses: https://www.christianbook.com/my-1st-book-of-memory-verses/carine-mackenzie/9781857927832/pd/27834?product_redirect=1&search_term=my%201st%20book%20of%20memory&Ntt=27834&item_code=&ps_exit=PRODUCT|legacy&Ntk=keywords&event=ESRCP

Children's Catechisms: https://www.amazon.com/Answers-Questions-Christianity-Scripture-Proofs/dp/0977344282/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?sr=8-1-fkmr0

Also this one, which can be found for free here online, though you can get print copies also: https://reformed.org/historic-confessions/the-childrens-catechism/


Another resource I am beginning to use, which has comments and usually a few questions on every chapter in the entire Bible, is Joel Beeke's Family Worship Bible Guide. This may be harder for young children, but as the kids get older it is a great resource: https://www.heritagebooks.org/products/family-worship-bible-guide-bonded-leather-gift-edition.html

Of course, there's way more resources and tools out there to guide you in family worship, but I've sent enough links already.

May the Lord bless us as we raise our children in the fear, nurture, and admonition of the Lord.

In Christ,

Pastor Booher

Why Pastors Shouldn't Preach In Jeans (Especially Skinny Jeans)

By: Thomas F. Booher I can't think of a better way to get labeled a legalist than to title a post like this. Hopefully by the end you will not see this as legalism and will see this as what it is- my attempt at describing what I believe is proper ecclesiology as defined by God in Scripture. So then, what is church? What does Scripture say we should be doing and not doing on Sunday mornings? That's what I want to explore. The Bible says to gather together in Christ's name; to teach, encourage, and admonish one another; to sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in our hearts to God (Heb. 10:24-25; Mat. 18:20; Col. 3:16). There are to be deacons (Acts 6:1-6) and elders (Ti. 1:5) in the church who act as overseers, and in the case of elders, are the shepherds of the flock who teach the word and rebuke with authority (Ti. 1:9).  God must call one to be a pastor/elder (Eph. 4:11). As such those who are called by God to preach the word are held to a

Some Problems in the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America)

By: Thomas F. Booher NOTE: I posted what's below to Facebook on this day, December 6, 2016. I wanted to post this here for record keeping and so that it can have a more visible and permanent viewership for those concerned or wishing to be more informed about the PCA.  I would like to explain my love for and grave concerns within the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America), the denomination in which I am currently a member and have served as a ruling elder. The state of the PCA is, in my estimation, not a consistently conservative, orthodox, and confessional one. I believe it is in the midst of much compromise, and I do not think that the average lay person is aware of it. It grieves me to say these things. I wish they were not true. I grew up in the PCA, and until several years ago I was still under the delusion that all was well in this denomination, that it was, by and large, holding fast to the Word of God. I still believe that there are many

The Reformed/Puritans on Knowledge, Learning, and Christian Education

"The Puritans overwhelmingly defended the cause of learning and the faculty of reason against such attacks on the mind. For the Puritans, zeal was no substitute for knowledge. John Preston declared, “I deny not but a man may have much knowledge and want grace, but on the other side,…you cannot have more grace than you have knowledge.”16 Richard Baxter believed that “education is God’s ordinary way for the conveyance of his grace, and ought no more to be set in opposition to the Spirit than the preaching of the Word.”17 John Cotton claimed that although “knowledge is no knowledge without zeal,” yet “zeal is but a wild-fire without knowledge.”18 The sectaries and antinomians pictured faith and reason as antagonists. The Puritans rejected the perennial attempt to belittle reason in religious matters. “Faith is grounded upon knowledge,” said Samuel Willard; “though God be…seen by an eye of faith, yet he must be seen by an eye of reason too: for though faith sees things above reason,
