Household Worship Guide on "On the Road to Somewhere" and "Your God will be my God" from Ruth 1

by Ed Blackwood

This week we had a guest preacher for our communion season, so here we'll go back in this series on Christ in the Old Testament and we will consider two women, Naomi and Ruth, On The Road to Somewhere from Ruth 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.

Thursday Ruth 1:1-5—Bad Choices, Bad Results
Friday Ruth 1:15-18—Where You Go, I Will Go
Saturday Ruth 1:6-22—Return
Lord’s Day
Monday Luke 13:1–5—More sinful than others?
Tuesday John 14:1-6-I am the Way
Wednesday 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10—Imitate us. Serve God

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 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.
