Worship With Your Family

Well I am super bummed to cancel our worship gathering this morning at Cooper Elementary. Gathering with Northwest to worship Jesus on a weekly basis is truly the highlight of my week. Even though we are not gathering at Cooper, we can still worship Jesus all over Bella Vista this morning.  Here is a simple plan for you to gather your family together. Grab your Bible and your laptop or tablet and gather your family around the kitchen table or living room. Explain to your family that you are going to worship God together in your pjs!  Remember the church is made of people not a specific building!

Open with prayer. Ask God to teach you today and help you focus on Him this morning.  

Sing the following songs with your family to God. Focus on the words, the commitments you are making to God, and the reminders of God's character as you sing to Him:

• Lay Me Down 
• Your Great Name  

Make it a point to talk about generosity with your family. Explain that the reason we give our tithes and offerings as an act of obedience and worship is because of how generous God has been to us. Talk with your family about all the ways God has blessed you and been generous to your family. Hint: This is a great place to eventually direct the conversation towards Jesus Christ. You may even want to allow your family to see you write out your tithe check and drop in the mail or go online and give directly through the Northwest website.  Giving is an act of worship.    

Next go to the Northwest website and listen to one of our previous talks during the Who Series. Open your Bibles together. Take some notes. And don't forget you can also listen to our messages and subscribe through iTunes too. 

Finally, close in a time of conversation and prayer. 

Let's worship God together!
