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.

- A. Man’s primary purpose is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.
Memory Verse(s)
- “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31, ESV).

Thoughts
- In order to live a purposeful and meaningful life we must glorify and enjoy God in all that we do. God has given us our skills, abilities, and even our life therefore we are to praise and thank Him for all that we have accomplished and all that He has done for us.
- Before the fall mankind was God centered. After the fall mankind is self-centered.
- Glorify – reflecting God’s glory. Creation reflects God’s glory like a mirror. Psalm 19:1 (ESV)
Discussion Questions
- How did Nebuchadnezzar eventually glorify God?
- How can you glorify God in your daily life?
- Who glorifies God more: a pastor or a mechanic? Explain
- What does it mean to be Christ-centered?
- Nebuchadnezzar was not Christ (God) centered. What was at the center of his life?
- What are some things that might take the place of Christ as the center of someone’s life?
- The Bible teaches that believers are the temple of God in which Christ dwells. How does this help our ability to be Christ centered?
