Family Worship 101: Day 2

Read the Bible

In today's video, Don Whitney discusses the central place of Bible reading in family worship, offering practical tips for leading your family through a short passage of God's Word each and every day.

From the video:

Chapter by chapter, read through a book of the Bible together. The younger the children, the more you will want to use narrative passages and read shorter sections. As the children get older, set a goal to read through the entire New Testament, and later the entire Bible.

Next Steps

  1. Read John chapter 3 aloud while sitting around the dinner table or right before the kids head off to bed.
  2. Summarize the passage in your own words, making sure to briefly explain the key terms/concepts, like “born again.”
  3. Ask everyone to share which verse stood out to them the most and why. You might let them know at the beginning that you’re going to ask this at the end.

God deserves to be worshiped daily in your home by your family.
