Emmaus Essentials classes are currently offered online Sundays at 9AM. It is through our Emmaus Essentials (Sunday School) that we hope to experience an in depth study of the scriptures and Christian theology. These classes focus on the study of systematic theology, biblical theology, church history, and other topics practical to Christian living.
An audio teaching series through the Baptist Catechism aimed to instruct in foundational Christian doctrine and to encourage obedience within God’s people.
A podcast produced for International Reformed Baptist Seminary: a forum for discussion of important scriptural and theological subjects by faculty, administrators, and friends of IRBS.
A fourteen-week Bible study in which we consider “what man ought to believe concerning God, and what duty God requireth of man” (Baptist Catechism #6).
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.
Emmaus 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.
Joe Anady and Mike Thezier discuss how Emmaus goes about Fencing the Table and why – how we invite people to the Table in a way that makes the biblical meaning and significance of the Supper clear. What kind of meal is it? What does it symbolize? Who is invited? What dangers are associated with partaking in an unworthy manner?
In John 17, Christ prayed for unity amongst his followers. We too should pray for unity and work hard to establish, or reestablish it, whenever possible. It should be noted that Jesus prayed for unity of a particular kind in John 17. This is indicated by the words “just as” or “even as” in John 17:20 and following. Superficial unity is not the goal, but rather deep and substantial unity. That is what we should be working towards! It might be a good idea to listen to the sermon that Pastor Joe recently preached on this passage. If can be found at emmauscf.org/sermons/john/ (It is sermon #65 in the series preached on 02/21/2016). This podcast seeks to build upon that sermon by providing practical insights for pursuing and maintaining unity within Christ’s church. These principles can actually be applied in any setting where unity is needed (marriage, family, etc.).
Can a person know that they have eternal life? After doing pastoral ministry for some time I have grown convinced that this is a question of tremendous importance to the people of God. While it is true that there are some who have a sense of assurance who should not (unbelievers, false believers), our concern here is to encourage those who are in Christ to lay ahold of assurance. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13, ESV)
In this episode of Confessing the Faith, Mike Thezier and Joe Anady discuss the doctrine of preservation, or perseverance. The question at hand is, if someone is truly a Christian – if they possess true faith, have been justified, and adopted into the family of God, etc. – is it possible for them to lose all of that by falling away from the faith? We do hope that this episode brings some clarity to the subject. As usual, we welcome questions!
In this episode of Confessing the Faith, Mike Thezier and Joe Anady discuss the doctrine of Irresistible Grace.The phrase “effectual calling” might be more helpful. This doctrine seeks to communicate the biblical truth that the Triune God has provided salvation for his people – The Father has decreed it, the Son has earned it, and the Spirit effectively applies it. Hope you enjoy!
In this episode of Confessing the Faith, Mike Thezier and Joe Anady discuss the doctrine of limited atonement. This is probably the most disputed and often misunderstood of the five points of Calvinism. It is not unimportant, though. After all, we are talking about the atonement here! We are asking the question, what did Christ accomplish on the cross? Though it is a difficult subject, it is worthy of our consideration.
Joe Anady interviews Owen Paun, who, along with his wife Nansi, are ministering in Sofia, Bulgaria – a Slavic country in Southeastern Europe that borders Greece and Turkey.
