Being a Christian family in today's world also has to do with how the family relates to other families, both in the church and in the larger culture. The Christian family does not live in a cocoon of its own, or even in a church cocoon, but in the larger world of differences and diversity.
Session One is the first in a series dealing with family themes beginning with playing together as a family. Playing together may seem like a trivial subject when such important challenges are facing families today. This Scripture will point us toward the importance of finding time to relax, have fun, and enjoy ourselves together as a family.
Session Two concerns learning together as a family. Families with school-age children obviously learn a lot apart from each other. What do they learn when they are together? Why is what families learn together important?
Session Three discusses the special mission of Christian families. More than securing a living, a home, education for their children, or economic security for their future, the mission of Christian families may take many different forms and expressions, but underneath it is the same: to seek the Kingdom of God on earth.
Session Four shed light on the ways worship flows from formal gatherings of God's people into the world through their lives and back again into the gathering. It speaks above the noise, summoning the people of God first to "listen," to "hear." These texts help us to see and to hear some of the ways in which worship restores rhythm to our noisy lives. And, families play an important role in nurturing a life of worship.
