Jesus-Centered Family DevotionsSample

Read aloud: “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” (Matthew 5:14,16) Say: I love seeing you shine the light of Jesus through what you say and do out in the world. Ask family members to take turns sharing how they’ve seen each other shining Jesus’ light at school, at work, or in the neighborhood. After encouraging one another, say: Let’s pray that when people see our light shining, they’ll know that it’s God who’s behind it. For the next minute, ask God to help others see him in you, and listen for whatever God wants to say to you. After one minute of silence, ask if anyone thinks they heard anything. Perhaps God has a message for your whole family or someone in it.
