Household Worship Guide on Killing Giants and Off with its head! from 1 Samuel 17

This week and next we will take a step back in the Christ in the Old Testament series. Last Lord's Day and this Lord's Day we will have had guest preachers. Although I still prepare and publish Worship Connected these weeks (and you can find them at worshipconnected.org) my plan will be to back up in my series on weeks we have a guest preacher at least until we reach the beginning.

This week we will consider the very familiar story of David and Goliath.

At Springs Reformed Church we distribute a weekly guide running from the Lord's Day to Saturday with Monday-Wednesday reviewing the sermons that were preached the Lord's Day at the start of the week and Thursday-Saturday previewing the sermons that will be preached the coming Lord's Day.

However, for the posts here I am linking to the guide from Thursday to Wednesday so that all are aimed at the Lord's Day as the peak of the 7-day rhythm as seen in the image above. The Lord's Day post includes links to the sermons.

Thursday 1 Samuel 17:1-23—The Philistines gathered their armies for battle.

Friday 1 Samuel 17:23-54--God’s People have a Champion.

Saturday 1 Samuel 17:50-58—David cut off Goliath’s head

Lord’s Day

Monday Romans 6:15–23—Slaves: to Whom?

Tuesday Hebrews 2:10–18—The Captain of our Salvation

Wednesday Mark 9:43–50—Cut it off!

If you find it useful to use these in your household/family worship, consider asking your pastor to speak to me about him developing something similar in your congregation.

Worship Connected is a guide offered by Dr. Ed Blackwood, pastor of the Springs Reformed Church (RPCNA), to focus family worship around the sermons preached each Lord’s Day. For more information about how and why I developed this guide (and encourage other pastors to consider doing something similar) see here.
