Household Worship Guide – Week of August 28th

While it is true that the people of God are to gather corporately to worship on the Lord’s Day (Hebrews 10:24-25), the scriptures also imply that we are to worship God in our homes between each Lord’s day (Deuteronomy 6:7). Emmaus’ weekly Household Worship Guide provides structure to lead singles, married couples, and families with children of all ages in the daily worship of God within the home. The guide simply encourages Christians to read, pray, and sing. In addition, the elder’s of Emmaus encourage the use of the Baptist Catechism for systematic instruction in the Christian faith.

This is a guide and should be used as such. The intent is not for an individual or family to follow the guide point by point, but rather to utilize the resource to craft a daily worship experience appropriate for their home. Keep it simple, keep it short, and keep it consistent (and don’t forget to be patient and flexible too).

For a detailed prayer guide, and for commentary on the catechism, please follow the links provided in the corresponding sections below.

May God be glorified each and every day!

Sermon: The “Secret” of Marriage: Ephesians 4:1-5:21


Pre-Introduction 

Last week we looked at the roles of the husband and wife as described in Ephesians 5:22-33. Wives are to submit to their husbands as the church does to Christ, and husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church, giving himself up for her.

These are commands to be obeyed, friends. But the Christian might still wonder, how exactly am I to fulfill these roles and responsibilities consistently and well? What exactly does it look like for a wife to lovingly submit and for a husband to lovingly lead? Read the rest of Sermon: The “Secret” of Marriage: Ephesians 4:1-5:21 »
