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 5: The Final Authority in Matters of Faith: Scripture (Part 2)

Reading

Read Know the Truth: Chapter 3: Scripture (Pages 49-61)

Questions for Discussion

1. Examine the basis for the claim that the Bible is infallible and inerrant. How far does the infallibility and inerrancy of Scripture extend?

2. List the considerations that need to be weighed when facing an apparent contradiction or inaccuracy in Scripture. How would you answer the charge, ‘The Bible is full of errors’ and ‘Intelligent people no longer believe the Bible is true’?

3. Identify the main hermeneutical principles. Illustrate their significance with examples of errors which arise from their neglect.

4. ‘The Holy Spirit is all we need to understand the Bible.’ Discuss.

5. What is the role of ‘secondary helps’, such as Bible study notes and commentaries, in understanding Scripture? What is the place of preaching in increasing the understanding of Scripture, and how do hermeneutical principles affect it?
