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.

One of my habits is to listen to podcasts throughout the week as I drive in the car and run. I plan to grow more consistent in passing along the good stuff to you so that you can also be edified.
As of late I have enjoyed listening to The Reformed Forum podcast. There are so many wonderful issues covered, and so many top-notch scholars interviewed in this broadcast – I would highly recommend that you listen in.
In particular, I would commend an episode entitled The Envy of Eve: Finding Contentment in a Covetous World. This is one of their “less academic” programs, but the content is so deeply practical – I think it would be worth your time to have a listen.
Blessings, church. I look forward to gathering with you all on the Lord’s Day.

- Why does Christ instruct us to pray for God’s honor before we pray for our needs and the needs of others? What effect does this have upon the heart of the believer?
- What sorts of practical things should we be praying for? Do you find yourself praying for the “big stuff”, the “small stuff”, or both? What is Christ’s instruction in this regard?
- How often do you pray? How often ought you to pray?
- What does prayer effect? Does it accomplish anything in time and space, or does it simply change the heart of the one praying? How do we reconcile the effectiveness of prayer with the biblical teaching concerning the sovereignty of God?
- Does God care more about our physical needs (daily bread) or our spiritual needs (forgive us, lead us, deliver us)?
- Have you memorized the Lord’s Prayer?
- When and where do you plan to spend time in daily prayer?
- How can your brothers and sisters in Christ pray for you?

Below are a few links for those of you interested in learning more about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn DOMA and how it might impact the church in the future.
I won’t be devoting any pulpit time to this issue (at least not at this time). We will continue with our sermon series on prayer this week. I can’t think of anything better to do than to pray:
“Our Father in heaven,
Hollowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts
as we also have forgiven our debters.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.”
After that, I will take you though a short sermon series on evangelism because, once we pray, I can’t think of anything better to do than learn to relate to others (most likely those who see things different than we see them), and to lovingly and winsomely share the gospel of Jesus Christ with them in all of its power and fullness.
My hope is that we will do this while trusting in his sovereign power.
For His Kingdom,
Joe

I trust that all of you are well on your way to memorizing the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) as I encouraged you to do last Sunday.
Have you noticed that, traditionally, the Lord’s Prayer is often recited with a longer ending which is not included in some modern Bible Translations (for example, the KJV, NKJV and NASB have it, while the ESV and NIV do not)? The longer ending goes like this: “…For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:13, NKJV)
The question is, why do some translations include this ending and others do not? I think the study notes from the NET Bible are helpful here:
“Most [manuscripts] read (though some with slight variation)… “for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, amen”… The reading without this sentence, though, is attested by generally better witnesses (manuscripts). The phrase was probably composed for the liturgy of the early church and most likely was based on 1 Chr 29:11-13; a scribe probably added the phrase at this point in the text for use in public scripture reading (see TCGNT 13-14). Both external and internal evidence argue for the shorter reading.
What does all that mean? Well, it is most likely that the shorter reading – the one without, “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”, is the original. That said, I don’t think there is any harm in memorizing the longer version so long as we remember that the ending is likely from tradition and not from the gospel writer himself.
I hope that your time in prayer has been sweet this week.
Blessings,
Joe
