| 0:00.0 | There is no better way for you and I to center our homes upon Christ than to practice regular, |
| 0:07.0 | consistent family worship. |
| 0:14.0 | Family worship. For some of us, hearing those two words brings back delightful memories from our childhood. |
| 0:23.0 | For others, perhaps it makes us break out in a sweat, knowing that this is an area where we |
| 0:28.7 | haven't been consistent. |
| 0:30.3 | Or maybe the entire concept is new to you. |
| 0:33.8 | Whatever your reaction to those two words, that's what we'll be learning about today as we seek to help and encourage you. |

| 1:46.9 | incredible benefits from it. And it's something that the evangelical church, at least in the last |
| 1:53.9 | couple hundred years, has lost sight of and has lost the practice of. And there's great |
| 2:00.7 | detriment, I think, to our spiritual lives and to our life together as churches because of it. |
