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 1:21-23
posted on Sunday, February 8th by Joe

  1. According to Colossians 1:21, what was our condition prior to our union with Christ? Paul mentions three things. Discuss each one.  
  2. Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption and reconciliation nearly 2,000 years ago through his life, death on the cross, and resurrection. When do sinners, who are by nature at enmity with God, come to be reconciled to God, and how?
  3. What is the difference between redemption and reconciliation? When it comes to our salvation in Christ Jesus, how are the two things related? 
  4. According to Colossians 1:22, how did Christ reconcile us to God? Why did the Son of God have to assume a body of flesh (a human nature)? With this doctrine in mind, why is faith in Christ the only way to be saved?
  5. According to Colossians 1:22b, what was the end goal of Christ’s death on the cross? He died “in order to” do what? 
  6. In what sense are we presently “holy and blameless and above reproach before [God]”? In what senses is this a future reality?  
  7. Why did Paul qualify his statement concerning our reconciliation in Christ Jesus with the words found in Colossians 1:23?
  8. How do you plan to apply this text to your life today?

Discussion Questions: Baptist Catechism 7 (Part 3)
posted on Sunday, February 8th by Joe

  1. Discuss different ways to categorize the attributes or perfections of God. 
  2. What is the difference between the communicable and incommunicable attributes of God? Which of the attributes listed in Baptist Catechism 7 belong to each category?
  3. What does it mean that God is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His holiness? 
  4. What does it mean that God is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His justice?
  5. What does it mean that God is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His goodness?
  6. What does it mean that God is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His truth?
  7. How do these attributes of God make you feel? Do they make you tremble? Do they bring peace? What does Jesus and his work on the cross have to do with this?
