Multi-Generational Church 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.

Publisher’s Synopsis: “Marriage is the union of two people who arrive at the altar toting some surprisingly large luggage. Often it gets opened right there on the honeymoon, sometimes it waits for the week after. The Bible calls it sin and understanding its influence can make all the difference for a man and woman who are building a life together. When Sinners Say “I Do” is about encountering the life-transforming power of the gospel in the unpredictable journey of marriage.
Dave’s writing style embraces the reader as he speaks honestly, and sometimes humorously, about sin and the power of the gospel to overcome it. He opens the delightful truth of God s word and encourages the reader to see more clearly the glorious picture of what God does when sinners say ‘I do.'”
Nerd Factor: Low
Emmaus Staff Comments: I (Joe) would recommend this book to couples who are working through a marriage situation where one, or both, of the spouses have sinned against the other. In a way, this applies to all married couples, doesn’t it? And for that reason, I would encourage all married couples to read it. But in my opinion, the book would most beneficial to couples in crises – to couples who need to extend grace and mercy to one another in their marriage relationship. The subtitle of the book is, “Discovering the Power of the Gospel for Marriage”, and this indeed is the thrust of the book. We, as Christians, have been forgiven much. Are we not also to extend mercy and grace to one another, especially to our spouses, with whom we have entered in to covenant? The chapter heading are as follows: 1. What Really Matters in Marriage, 2. Waking Up With the Worst of Sinners, 3. The Fog of War and the Law of Sin, 4. Taking it Our for a Spin, 5. Mercy Triumphs over Judgement, 6. Forgiveness, Full and Free, 7. The Surgeon, the Scalpel, and the Spouse in Sin, 8. Stubborn Grace, 9. Concerning Sex, and 10. When Sinners Say Goodbye. The chapter on sex was solid. The chapter on the death of a spouse was a great conclusion to the book. It put everything in to perspective, and was rather moving.

Episode 24 of Emmaus Essentials is up! This episode covers chapter 17 of the confession – Of the Perseverance of the Saints. The question under consideration is, can a Christian be truly saved, and then loose their salvation due to unbelief or sin? Many have struggled with this question. I believe that the confession summarizes the teaching of scripture beautifully.
Soli Deo Gloria!

Episode 20 of Emmaus Essentials is up! This episode covers chapters 12 & 13 of the Confession on the topics of adoption and sanctification. The doctrine of adoption is indeed a beautiful one! Here we explore the fact of our adoption in Christ, along with the blessings and result of it. Understanding sanctification is helpful in a practical way. Here we answer the question, what is sanctification? and also discuss the difference between positional and personal sanctification. I hope you are strengthened and encouraged by the teaching!

Episode 19 of Emmaus Essentials – LBC 1689 is up and ready for your consumption. The subject is chapter 11 of the Confession – Of Justification. This is truly a vital doctrine and I would highly encourage you to listen in. Questions considered are: What is justification? How is justification received? What is the basis for our justification? When is a person justified? What is the relationship between justification and sanctification? And, how were those who lived before Christ justified? I hope your are blessed by it!

Publisher’s Synopsis: “Murray systematically explains the two sides of redemption: its accomplishment by Christ and its application to the life of the redeemed. In Part I he considers the necessity, nature, perfection, and extent of the atonement. In Part II Murray offers careful expositions of the scriptural teaching about calling, regeneration, sanctification, and glorification.”
Nerd Factor: Medium
Emmaus Staff Comments: I (Joe) have recommended two other books on the Doctrine of Salvation in the past – and I would still recommend them. But I would be amiss if I failed to recommend John Murray’s classic, “Redemption Accomplished and Applied.” I would say that the reading level of this book is a bit higher than the others, but it is certainly worth the investment.
The book is broken in to two parts, as the title suggests. The first section examines the work of Christ and his accomplishment of redemption. The question under consideration is, what did Christ accomplish at his coming – through his life, death and resurrection? The second section of the book examines the application of redemption. The question here is, how is the work that Christ accomplished applied to individuals as they live in human history?
John Murray’s writing style is clear. The categories that he presents are immensely helpful when seeking to understand this often misunderstood doctrine. I do hope that you put this book on your wish list, and that you are strengthened by it in the not to distant future.

Brothers and Sisters,
I recently came across this episode from the “Office Hours” podcast of Westminster Seminary California, which I though did an excellent job at communicating the role of the Holy Spirit in sanctification.
It’s 28 minutes long, and I guarantee that you will enjoy listing to Dr. Hywel R. Jones (you’ll see what I mean).
Blessings,
Joe

I always appreciate the insights gained from Michael Horton and the rest of the contributors on The White Horse Inn, but I found this episode to be particularly insightful.
I would imagine that most Christians have, at some time in their lives, puzzled over the texts in Joshua where God commands the people of Israel to utterly destroy all of the inhabitants of the land of Canaan. How are we to interpret these passages? Should they be in the Bible? If so, how do these texts jive with the emphasis upon love and mercy that we see in Christ? And beyond that, what do these texts say to us today about war in general, or holy war in particular?
Certainly these are challenging questions. In fact, these are the texts that critics of the Bible will often go to first. Critics will claim that the God of the Old Testament is different than the God of the New, or that the God of the Bible is, in fact, morally repulsive. In my opinion, Horton and the crew deal beautifully with this difficulty.
As you listen I would encourage you to take special note of the way that these men go about interpreting scripture. Among other things, they pay special attention to the context of the book of Joshua. Not only do they pay attention the cultural and literary context, but also the redemptive historical context.
I notice that there are also other episodes pertaining to this topic both before and after this one in the White Horse Inn archives. Though I have not listened to them, I’m confident in these men to recommend them to you as well.
Please have a listen!
Pastor Joe
