Family Worship is not meant to be a polished show for people....

Family worship is meant to be a natural and planned time for your family to get into the word, sing and pray.

In helping the families in our church grow closer to God and one another, I want to give you examples of family worship.

Here are two godly men sharing their own experiences in family worship.

Timothy Paul Jones serves as associate professor of leadership and as associate vice  president at one of the largest seminaries in the world, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Recently he tweeted "Somehow family devotional on Nehemiah rebuilding the wall ended up with 'We but this City On Rock & Roll.'  My children's theology is shot."  @timothywashere
There are many resources on his website www.timothypauljones.com

David Platt pastors The Church at Brook Hills (www.brookhills.org) and is the author of Radical and Follow Me.  In the clip below he explains some specifics of family worship and gives some examples of family worship in the Platt house.  Platt mentions that sometimes his children stump him with questions he cannot answer.  Also the example he gives about singing has been true many times in our family worship time.  To listen to the whole sermon "In the Beginning," click HERE



After seeing these examples and explanations of family worship, please share your stories, good, bad and humorous in the comment section or email children@emmanuelbaptist.com
