Summary
This series is designed to walk alongside parents as they read Scripture with their children during family worship. Each session is organized as follows:
- Review: A few questions to establish context and retention from the previous session
- Read: The Scripture reference to read in your own Bible and a few content questions
- Reflect: Thoughts from the authors
- Request: Prayer prompts
While the books do guide you through most of the passages, it’s not a complete reading of the books.
This review contains the following titles:
Beginning: Family Worship in Genesis
Wilderness: Family Worship in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronmy
Conquest: Family Worship in Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel
Fulfillment: Family Worship in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, & Acts
Mom Thoughts
This series is a fantastic, Biblically solid resource for families who want to be intentional with their Bible reading time. This takes all the guesswork out of what to do if you are new to reading Scripture together as a family or simply want something with a little more structure. The reflection sections do an excellent job of pointing to Christ and reinforcing the Gospel.
“Pharaoh was helpless before this locust army, but he refused to humble himself. He was too proud to surrender to God, the King of heaven. Sure, he confessed that he had sinned. But Pharaoh’s confession was not real because it was not joined with being sorry for his sin. It is not enough just to say we are sorry for our sin, we must give up our sin, turn our backs to it, and try hard to walk in obedience to God’s commands through God’s help. This is called repentance.” (Reflection from Exodus 10:3-6, 12-20)
Things to Note: This is written from a paedobaptist and sabbatarian viewpoint, as well as viewing depictions of Christ as a 2nd Commandment violation. (Although these sections are few.)
