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.

Doctrinal Standards WSC #19
- Q. What is the misery of man’s fallen condition?
- A. By their fall, all mankind lost fellowship with God and brought His anger and curse on themselves. They are, therefore, subject to all the miseries of this life, to death itself, and to the pains of hell forever.
Memory Verse(s)
- “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings” (Jeremiah 17:9-10 ESV).
Scripture
- Study Passage: Matthew 25:31-46
- Support Passages: Deuteronomy 28; Lamentations
- Bible Story: Luke 16:19-31
Thoughts
- We always need to be reminded that sin has resulted in a separation from or broken relationship with God. Because of our sins, we all deserve the full wrath of God. God would be just and righteous in condemning every single human being to hell for the punishment of their transgression. This truth is extremely important to understand. God does not have to save a single individual from the punishment they rightly deserve. But He does choose to save some. The fact that He saves some when He is not obligated to do so clearly expresses the true meaning of God’s grace and mercy.
- After Adam and Eve sinned against God, they were told that as a consequence they would experience misery and pain for the remainder of life (Genesis3:14-19). This misery, like sin, is passed down from generation to generation. Suffering, heartache, frustration, and a longing for things to be perfect is a result of sin entering into the world.
Discussion Questions
- What is sin?
- What is the punishment for sin? Explain.
- Is it both a physical and spiritual death? Explain.
- Besides death, what other effects does sin have on life?
- Would God be just to punish and send every single human being to Hell? Why?
- If God can justly send every human being to Hell for their sins, why doesn’t He?
- After answering the previous two questions, explain God’s grace and mercy.

Episode 25 of Emmaus Essentials is ready for you! This episode covers chapter 18 of the confession – Of the Assurance of Grace and Salvation. The question under consideration is, can and should a Christian have a sense of assurance (or confidence) concerning their right standing before God?
The confessions summarizes the truth of scripture beautifully noting that a Christian can and should have a sense of assurance. That said, the confession is also sensitive to the fact that, one, some possess a sense assurance though they should not (given that they are not truly trusting in Christ). And two, it is possible for someone who is truly saved to lack a sense of assurance.
The scripture do exhort us to lay hold of this confidence if we are in Christ, and they also instruct us as to how to lay hold of it. Have a listen to learn more!
Soli Deo Gloria!

Catechism – Instruction of God’s Word
Doctrinal Standards WSC #17 & 18
- Q. What happened to man in the fall?
- A. Man fell into a condition of sin and misery.
- Q. What is sinful about man’s fallen condition?
- A. The sinfulness of that fallen condition is twofold. First, in what is commonly called original sin, there is the guilt of Adam’s first sin with its lack of original righteousness and the corruption of his whole nature. Second are all the specific acts of disobedience that come from original sin.
Memory Verse(s)
- ”For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23, ESV).
- “Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear” (Isaiah 59:1, ESV).
Scripture
- Study Passage: Romans 3:1-20
- Support Passages: Psalm 5:9, 10:7, 14:1-3, 36:1-4; 53:1-4; Isaiah 59
- Bible Story: Numbers 13-14 (14:1-10)
Thoughts
- Adam and Eve were the only two human beings to live without sin. They did not have a sin nature until they disobeyed God by eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Since Adam and Eve, the Bible teaches that every single human is born with a sin nature. That is to say they we are “conceived in sin”. From the very beginning of every individual’s life, their hearts are sinful – they are enemies of God. It is the death of Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit that enables us to have eternal life.
- As a result of Adam and Eve’s sin, we display our own disobedience to the true and living God. Our sinful hearts are revealed by the words that come out of our mouths and our sinful actions.
Discussion Questions
- What is sin?
- What was the sin of Adam and Eve?
- What were the consequences of Adam and Eve’s sin?
- Are individuals born sinful, or do they learn how to sin? Explain.
- If we are born sinful, we are enemies of God. How do we become friends of God?
- What part does God play in this process?
- What part does man play in this process?
- What do our actions and words reveal about our heart?

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.
