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

William Gouge's Domestical Duties: Quotes and Comments

 I hope to begin a post here that I periodically update, of quotations from William Gouge's Of Domestical Duties. I am going to quote from this version primarily: https://www.monergism.com/thethreshold/sdg/gouge/Domestical%20Duties%20-%20William%20Gouge.pdf  The book has been said to have been as popular as Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Matthew Henry's commentaries in its heyday. Gouge was one of the chief members of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, which gave us the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. In short, the substance of what Gouge wrote was held by most all the Westminster Divines/Puritans on home and family life, regarding marriage, children, duties of husband to wife, wife to husband, children to parents, parents to children, and also servants and masters to one another.  Here is an extended quotation of Gouge that I will start with, and add to later. Enjoy.  "The third reason taken from an husband's resemblance unto Christ herein, ...

Declaration on the Error of Egalitarianism and its Effect on Society, the Church, and Related Matters

* THE FOLLOWING DECLARATION REPRESENTS THE VIEWS OF THE SESSION OF HERITAGE REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (HRPC) ONLY, AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENT THE FULL VIEWS OF THE COVENANT REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH DENOMINATION, OR ANY OTHER DENOMINATION, ORGANIZATION, OR BODY OF CHURCHES, THOUGH IT IS THE DESIRE OF HRPC THAT THIS DECLARATION WOULD BE HELPFUL TO AND EVEN ADOPTED BY OTHER CHURCHES, PRESBYTERIES, AND DENOMINATIONS. Declaration on the Error of Egalitarianism and its Effect on Society, the Church, and Related Matters In 2005, the Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church (CRPC) unanimously adopted Distinctives summarizing what sets her apart from other Presbyterian bodies. Under “Civil Magistrates,” the CRPC affirms: “We further acknowledge that God’s work at the Tower of Babel and His gathering of men into distinct tribes, nations, cultures, races, and language groups has its divine purpose in hindering the growth of ungodliness.” [ https://covref.org/distinctives/ ] The follow...

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 ...
