Emmaus Essentials

Emmaus Essentials classes are currently offered online Sundays at 9AM.

These classes focus on the study of systematic theology, biblical theology, church history, and other topics practical to Christian living.

Catechesis

PODCASTS

Theology In Particular

Confessing The Faith

A podcast devoted to discussions concerning Christian doctrine and the Christian life from a confessionally Reformed Baptist perspective.

An Intoduction To The Christian Faith

Family Based Ministry

At Emmaus we believe that God has given parents, especially fathers the authority and responsibility to train and instruct children up in the Lord. In addition, we believe that God has ordained the gathering of all generations, young to old, to worship Him together in one place and at one time. Therefore, each and every Sunday our children worship the Lord alongside their parents and other members of God’s family.

Missions

Emmaus Reformed Baptist Church is committed to the fullfilment of the Great Commision given by our Lord when he said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:18-20 ESV), through the planting of local churches, both at home and abroad.

Lesson 30: The Church: The Function of the Church

Reading

Read Know the Truth: Chapter 24: The Church: The Function of the Church (Pages 297-306)

Questions for Discussion

1. What were the principles which underlay the worship of God’s people in the OT? In which ways is worship under the new covenant (testament) different?

2. Discuss the roles of freedom and order/form in worship: what guidance does Scripture offer here?

3. What does fellowship (koinōnia) mean? Examine ways in which fellowship was expressed in the NT churches. What are today’s equivalents?

4. Assess the significance for true fellowship of (a) ‘apostles’ doctrine’ (Acts 2:42), (b) the Lord’s Supper (1 Cor. 10:11), (c) the Spirit and his gifts (1 Cor. 12 – 13).

5. What is the significance of the Bible’s teaching about spiritual gifts as far as ministry in the church is concerned?

6. List the NT requirements for specialized ministers in the church (cf. 1 Tim. 3:1–13; Titus 1:9–15; Acts 6:3f.).

7. How does the church’s witness serve God’s glory?

8. What does ‘mission’ entail?

9. What are the main biblical bases for Christian social involvement?

10. What does Scripture teach about mission through (a) prayer, (b) financial gifts, (c) personal witness, (d) corporate church witness? Examine in each area the implications for your personal commitment to mission.
