A History of Family Worship

Sermon by Matt Trewhella on 7/4/1999

Family Worship is critical to the governance of a godly home. Yet few practice it in their homes. This sermon looks at Scripture and church history to establish the validity and practice of family worship. The family has the primary duty to instruct children in the faith - not the Church or others. 31 min. http://MercySeat.net

Where any one feels himself called of God to establish daily worship in his house, he should act with solemn decision. In this, as in a thousand other affairs of life, the shortest method is the best. Instead of parleying with objections, or waiting for some happy conjecture, or seeking to prepare the way by gradual approaches, or timorously sounding the opinions of those whose place it is to submit, let him, in reliance on God, without other preliminary, and without allowing another sun to set, call his family together, state his purpose in the very fewest terms, and carry it into immediate accomplishment.” -Pastor James Alexander, 1847
