Ministry to Youth

Emmaus’ youth ministry does not take the place of our regular Sunday worship service. We believe that our young people are a valuable and significant part of the congregation, and therefore, should regularly attend our Sunday worship services where they will learn from the teaching of the scriptures, worship, and interact with the adults of Emmaus.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Discussion Questions: Colossians 1:3-8
posted on Sunday, January 11th by Joe

  1. How is Colossians structured generally? What are the four main parts of this letter?
  2. Paul begins almost all his letters to the churches by giving thanks or praise to God. What can we learn from this?
  3. Paul revealed that he gave thanks to God in prayer unceasingly. Later, he commands the Colossians to continue steadfastly in prayer, with thanksgiving. What does this look like, practically? How is your prayer life?
  4. What, in particular, did Paul thank God for? 
  5. What are faith, hope, and love, and how are they related? How does faith produce hope, and how does hope produce love? 
  6. Why was it important for the Colossians to remember the word of truth that came to them (the gospel) and its fruitfulness amongst them, and in the whole world? In other words, how might this reminder help to combat the false teaching they were threatened by?
  7. How do you plan to apply this text to your life?
