September Playlist: Bringing Praise Into Your Home

At Gospel Family Ministries, we don’t just want families to read God’s Word together—we want homes filled with praise. Worship is one of the most powerful ways to remind our families that we belong to something bigger than ourselves: the church of Jesus Christ, built on Him as our cornerstone, united as His body, and sent out on His mission.

That’s why we’re launching a new monthly Family Praise Playlist. Each playlist ties directly into the Scriptures and devotions we’re walking through that month. (Click here to sign up and begin receiving free daily family devotionals.)

These songs will help you bring worship into your living room, around the dinner table, and even on the drive to school. They’re designed for the whole family—from parents to little ones—to sing, remember, and rejoice together.

How to Use the Playlist

You might pick one or two songs each week that connect with the daily family devotions. For example:

You might choose one or two songs per week that line up with the passages.

For example:

    • Sept. 1–4 (Foundations of the Church) → “The Church’s One Foundation,” “Build Your Kingdom Here.”

    • Sept. 5–11 (Gifts, Body, Leadership) → “We Are the Body,” “Bind Us Together.”

    • Sept. 12–18 (Christ the Head, God’s Household) → “Great Are You Lord,” “10,000 Reasons.”

    • Sept. 19–22 (Jesus among the Churches in Revelation) → “God of This City,” “Mighty to Save.”

    • Sept. 23–30 (Worship, Fellowship, Mission) → “Facing a Task Unfinished,” “Go,” “We Are the Church.”

Use the songs to open or close your devotion time, or just play them throughout the day. Over time, these truths will settle into your children’s hearts. (Click here to sign up and begin receiving free daily family devotionals.)

Let’s Fill Our Homes With Praise

Our prayer is simple: that every family would not only hear God’s Word but also sing it, celebrate it, and live it out. When your kids grow up remembering the sound of worship in your home, they’ll never forget that Jesus is worth it all.
