Worship Connected Family Worship Guide Nehemiah 8

Worship Connected is dedicated to helping families grow together in their faith through structured Bible reading and household worship (family worship/devotions). This resource is connected to the weekly congregational worship of Springs Reformed Church (SRC) to use directly as an aid to family worship or as a model to others.

These household worship guides are written to complement the Lord’s Day sermons by focusing hearts, minds, and lives throughout the week on the preaching passage and connecting household worship with the church’s gathered worship.

At SRC 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 will link 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.

We are considering Bring the Book and The Joy of the Lord is Your Strength in Nehemiah 8.

Thu May 8 Nehemiah 8:1-8—Listening Attentively to the Word Preached

Fri May 9 Nehemiah 8:9-12—Don’t Grieve

Sat May 10 Nehemiah 8:13-18—Shelter in Place

Lord’s Day May 11

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.
