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.
Learn MoreEmmaus 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.

Hello Emmaus Church. Tomorrow (09/26/12) Jews all over the world will observe Yom Kippur, also known as the Day of Attonement . The Day of Atonement is the most sacred day of the Jewish year and involves fasting, prayers and a liturgy related to the ministry of the High Priest as commanded in the Book of Leviticus for the atonement of God’s people. Furthermore, the Day of Attonement is central to properly understanding the Chrstian faith. Levitcus 16 describes this event in detail, as it is one of the most significant chapters in all of the Old Testament. In Leviticus 16 the High Priest is given elaborate and extensive instructions on how to carry out the sacrifice needed to atone for the sins of the people. This was the only day of the entire year that the High Priest was able to enter into the Holy of Holies in order to make atonement for the sins of God’s people.
In the New Testament, the book of Hebrews tells us that “we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man.” (Hebrews 8:1, 2 ESV) Yom Kippur is the central event in understanding the need for a sacrifice, and why Christ was the only one worthy to fully atone for the sins of the people. For “he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,”(Colossians 1:22 ESV)
In remembering and observing this pivotal day in the formation of Christianity, I encourage you to do the following.
1. Read the following article about the Day of Atonement. The Author does a great job explaining the importance of Yom Kippur and its significance to Christianity. http://www.unionchurch.com/archive/101401.html
2. Read Leviticus 16 and understand it in context.
3. Read the book of Hebrews and make note of Christ as our high priest.
4. Reflect on the majestic, amazing, and underserving gift we received through God’s perfect sacrifice, Christ.
5. Pray for Israel that they would see that Christ is the true messiah and only the high priest worthy of atoning for the sins of the world!
May you be blessed as we remember and reflect on the most central event of all history; God’s redemption of His own. Blessings.
