Gospel Community Groups

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.

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?

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?
