Family Worship

Each Tuesday and Thursday, we will post a simple guide for you to have family worship. Family worship can be done before bed, around the dinner table, in the car, or elsewhere! It can be done if you have little kids at home, middle schoolers, high schoolers, or are empty nesters! Find someone in the same house as you and follow this outline twice a week! We follow a simple outline for Family Worship: Read, Pray, Sing. It is that simple. Take 5-10 minutes today and worship with your family!   


SETTING THE SCENE

 In Exodus 7:14-24, God confronts Pharaoh’s hardened heart and reveals His power through the first plague. The Nile, a source of life and worship for the Egyptians, is turned into blood. This act challenges the Egyptian gods and shows that God is sovereign over all. Sometimes, God uses dramatic ways to get our attention and remind us of His power. This passage encourages us to trust God and worship Him alone.


READ

Exodus 7:14-24


ASK

  1. Why do you think God started the plagues with the Nile River? What might this have shown the Egyptians and Pharaoh?

(Discuss how the Nile was central to Egyptian life and religion.)


2. Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he refused to listen to God. Are there times when we might resist God or ignore His voice? Why?

(Talk about how we can soften our hearts toward God.)


3. God used Moses to speak His words to Pharaoh. How can we be like Moses and share God’s message with others, even when it’s hard?

(Encourage family members to think about ways they can share their faith boldly.)


4. What do you think God might be teaching us as a family through this story? How can we grow closer to Him this week?

(Help the family reflect on personal and collective applications.)


PRAY

Ask for prayer requests and pray together as a family.
