In today's fast-paced culture, the family table — once a central part of life for believers — has been all but neglected as families have become disconnected and domesticity has been eschewed.
In this insightful message, Doug Phillips shows from the Scripture how that the table is to be a place of peace, discipleship, hospitality, and cultural transformation. It is the place where some of the greatest glories of Christian culture are manifest and where the discipling of children and the evangelism of the community can be carried out with great effect. It is the place where fathers set aside the burdens of the day and open God's Word; where wives demonstrates their giftings; where sons are catechized; and where daughters show their service. Christ communed with His disciples around a table, and for lasting reformation to occur in our time, families must likewise embrace mealtime as an opportunity to commune with one another and glorify God.
The Family Table Set includes Doug's 92-minute message on CD, plus a 55-page workbook with outlines, additional thoughts, passages for further reading, applications, study questions, and more. First, listen to the message, then delve deeper by working through the companion guide. Perhaps you can start out your reclamation of the family table by listening and reading while you eat!
