Household Worship Guide on The Invisible God at Work and Finding Favor from Esther 6-7

May 29, 2025

Obviously if this is a household worship guide for your congregation, then you must keep your congregation in mind as you prepare. If you have small children in your congregation, then I suggest you prepare the weekly material with at least an aim toward the hearts of these little ones.

Household Worship Guide on God's Mercy in His Wrath and How the World Hates the House of God from 2 Chronicles 36

May 01, 2025

April 09, 2025

I love how it keeps Sunday’s message alive all week. Focusing on what was preached and what will be preached assists me in keeping the message active in my daily life.
