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 ...

The Stone Choir/Corey Mahler Invert God's Revelation

https://coreyjmahler.com/the-european-peoples-and-christianity/  *****EDIT: Some have said that they, or at least Corey Mahler perhaps believes, that the European religions were deviations from Christianity, believed by Noah and his sons. Over time, sinful man and demons twisted these European religions, which I think their argument is that it was originally Christian/derived from Noah and his offspring. Nordic paganism had the most in common with Christianity, even with Odin sacrificing himself on a tree, and therefore the Europeans were the most ripe and ready to embrace Christianity and continue to advance the cause of Christ more than other peoples/races/nations over the last 2,000 years since Christ.  To that I simply say, I appreciate the context given, but even if all that were true (maybe it is, maybe it is not), it doesn't change the fundamental points of my post below. Syncretism, Odinism, etc., even if it was somehow a distorted derivation flowing from the true...

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...
