Household Worship Guide on Life under the Sun Household Worship Guide from Ecclesiastes

by Ed Blackwood

This week we will consider Life Under the Sun and Is It an Unhappy Business? in Ecclesiastes 1. 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.

[update 8:35pm EST - the 1st three lings were wrong and are now corrected.]

Thursday Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 Vanity of Vanities
Friday Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 Nothing New Under the Sun
Saturday Ecclesiastes 1:12–18—Is Everything Futile?
Lord’s Day
Monday John 10:7–18—Life more Abundantly
Tuesday 1 Corinthains 15:50-58—Labor Not in Vain

We only took 5 days in our look forward/look back pattern this week as we were preparing for the Lord's Supper in the Wednesday reading and notes.

Wednesday Mark 14:22–25—Take.

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 prepared by me, 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.
