Family Corner
Welcome to the Family
Here at River Church we value families. Our desire is to see parents “win” at home at every phase of their child’s spiritual development. Our goal is to come along side and partner with you to train, equip, and support your role as the primary spiritual leader at home. Whether it’s during bed time, dinner time, or play time, we want to leverage the time and resource we have with our children to point them to Christ.
Family Practice of the Month
Each month we share one simple practice that help families encounter God together.
What Would Jesus Do?
This month’s practice we are allowing the scripture to challenge us to follow in Jesus’ footsteps.
Here are the basic steps to this challenge:
Choose a timeframe for the challenge. Day or Week or the whole month!
As a family have a conversation about how Jesus lived.
Questions like: “What was he like?”, “How did he treat others?”, “What did he do?”Pick one specific way this week to live and do what Jesus did based on scripture.
Here are some ideas from scripture:
Love someone others reject (Luke 19:1-10)
Talk to someone about God (John 4:1-26)
Pray for someone’s healing (Mark 10:46-52)
Take care of someone’s needs (Matthew 14:13-21)
Serve someone unexpectedly (John 13:1-17)
Forgive someone (Luke 23:33-34)
After the challenge timeframe is completed, have a conversation with everyone about what they did, what it was like, and anything they learned from this challenge.
