Discover God’s design for linking the congregation to the home in Titus 2:1–8. Consider your distinct calling as a pastor, an older man, an older woman, a younger man, a younger woman, or a child. Learn how each of these members of the Body of Christ serve the good of one another to the glory of God. Ponder real-life applications for your congregation and family. - 11:15 a.m.—Marriage and Parenting: Biblical Insights in a Post-Christian Culture
Society has tried to re-define marriage and usurp parenthood, but God’s Word continues to teach timeless truths. Despite all the confusion, marriage remains a divinely established, life-long union of one man and one woman, open to God’s blessings of children. God calls upon parents to be evangelists in their homes as they train up the rising generation in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. - 12:15 p.m.—Lunch
- 1:00 p.m.—The Family Altar: How (and Why) to Conduct Home Devotions
From the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 6:4–9) to the New Testament (Ephesians 6:4), to the Reformation (the Prefaces to Luther’s Small and Large Catechisms), recognize a consistent encouragement to have home devotions. Review the blessings that God attaches to His Word and the calling that parents have for serving their children’s spiritual needs. Learn practical tips for conducting home devotions.
