Worship Jehovah as a Family

2 ENJOY YOUR FAMILY WORSHIP 

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS: 

"Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you."  (James 4:8)  You need to schedule and follow through on a regular program of family worship.  (Genesis 18:19) But more is needed. God must be a part of your daily life. Strengthen your family's relationship with God by speaking about him"when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lied down and when you get up ."  (Deuteronomy 6:6, 7)  Make it your goal to be like Joshua, who said: "As for me and my household, we will serve Jehovah." -Joshua 24:15. 

WHAT YOU CAN DO:  

Have a consistent training program that takes into account the needs of each member of your family

HAPPY SERVANTS OF JEHOVAH

There is nothing better than worshipping Jehovah God. He is delighted to see you and your family sincerely serving him. As you do this, you will come to love and imitate Jehovah more and more.  (Mark 12:30; Ephesians 5:1) having God in your marriage makes your bond with your mate stronger.   (Ecclesiastes 4:12; Isaiah 48:17) 

ASK YOURSELF

When was the last time we prayed together as a couple?
