Family Worship
This week, aim to Read, Pray, and Sing at least twice. Pick two days and spend intentional time together as a family.
- Read – Use a storybook Bible or follow this week’s recap to retell the story at home.
- Pray – Talk to God together about what you’ve read. Ask questions. Give thanks. Pray for understanding.
- Sing – Choose a simple hymn or worship song:
- 🎵 “There is a Fountain Filled With Blood”
- 🎵 “Holy, Holy, Holy”
- 🎵 For younger kids: “Jesus Loves Me” or the “Doxology”
In this lesson, Jesus calls His first twelve disciples—ordinary men like fishermen (Peter, Andrew, James, John), a tax collector (Matthew), and a zealot (Simon)—to follow Him and become a new family, the church. He transforms their ordinary lives, commissioning them as apostles (“people sent out”) with authority to share God’s kingdom and rebuke evil. The Gospel connection shines through as we see how, just like those first disciples, we are called by Jesus, sent out by Him through Spirit‑empowered witness, and invited into God’s new, worldwide family.
