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 1:15-17
posted on Sunday, January 25th by Joe

  1. Who does the “he” in Colossians 1:15 refer to? What is Paul’s main objective in Colossians 1:15-20?
  2. If God is invisible, how can we possibly know him?
  3. When Paul says, “He [Christ, the Son of God] is the image of the invisible God”, what does he mean? Must an “image” be visible? In what sense is the Son of God the image of the Father eternally? In what sense does the Son of God image the Father in the incarnation?
  4. Who is the Son of God as it pertains to his relationship to the original creation? 
  5. What does Paul mean when he says that all things were created through the Son and for him (Colossians 1:16)? What is meant by “for”?
  6. The central phrase in this text is found in verse 17b: “and in him all things hold together”. What does this mean? How does it sum up what was said in 1:15-17 and prepare us for what will be said in 1:18-20?
  7. Are your thoughts concerning Christ too low, are your affections for him too small, and is your walk with him too weak? Discuss. What is the remedy?

Discussion Questions: Baptist Catechism 7 (Part 1)
posted on Sunday, January 25th by Joe

  1. Review Baptist Catechism questions 1-6. What is the relationship between questions 1-6 and 7? 
  2. When we ask the question what is this thing or that? What are we talking about? What is a tree? What is a dog? What is a human? What is God? 
  3. “God is spirit.” Notice, we are not here talking about the third person of the Triune God – the Holy Spirit. We are saying that the Triune God is spirit. What does this mean? And what is the best and simplest Scripture text to cite in support of this?   
  4. How are we to interpret those passages of Scripture that speak of God using the language of human body parts or human emotion? What is the truth communicated by these passages? How can these passages be misinterpreted? (Take Psalm 18:35, Genesis 6:6, and 1 Samual 15:29 as examples. What is the key to interpreting these passages properly?
