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.

- What did Paul suffer?
- For whom did he suffer?
- What did Paul mean when he said, “and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions”? Was there anything lacking in what Christ suffered to accomplish our redemption? In what sense is Christ still “afflicted”?
- When Paul said, I rejoice in my sufferings, he meant it. Why did Paul rejoice in his sufferings? How can we rejoice in ours (or count the trials and tribulations of life as joy, as James 1:2-4 says)?
- How do you plan to apply this Scripture text to your life today?

- If there is only one God, why do the Scriptures speak of “gods”? (i.e. Deut. 6:14)
- Why does our catechism stress that God is the “living” and “true” God? What do the words “living” and “true” communicate? What errors do they correct?
- Why is it important to stress that God is one before speaking about the plurality in the Godhead? What error does this guard against?
- Who are the three persons of the Trinity? What do the three persons share in common as the one living and true God? What distinguished them from each other?
- Though it is true that the doctrine of the Trinity is a mystery (God is incomprehensible, remember?), our confession says that the “doctrine of the Trinity is the foundation of all our communion with God, and comfortable dependence on him (Second London Confession, 2.3). What is the meaning of this statement? How does the doctrine of the Trinity serve as the foundation of our communion with God and bring comfort to God’s people?

- According to Colossians 1:21, what was our condition prior to our union with Christ? Paul mentions three things. Discuss each one.
- Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption and reconciliation nearly 2,000 years ago through his life, death on the cross, and resurrection. When do sinners, who are by nature at enmity with God, come to be reconciled to God, and how?
- What is the difference between redemption and reconciliation? When it comes to our salvation in Christ Jesus, how are the two things related?
- According to Colossians 1:22, how did Christ reconcile us to God? Why did the Son of God have to assume a body of flesh (a human nature)? With this doctrine in mind, why is faith in Christ the only way to be saved?
- According to Colossians 1:22b, what was the end goal of Christ’s death on the cross? He died “in order to” do what?
- In what sense are we presently “holy and blameless and above reproach before [God]”? In what senses is this a future reality?
- Why did Paul qualify his statement concerning our reconciliation in Christ Jesus with the words found in Colossians 1:23?
- How do you plan to apply this text to your life today?

- Who will enter the new heavens and earth? Why?
- Paul says that the Son of God is the head of the body, the church. What does this analogy teach us about the redeemer? What does this teach us about the relationship between Christ and his redeemed people?
- What does Paul mean when he refers to Christ, the Son of God incarnate, as the firstborn from the dead?
- Why is Christ the Son said to be preeminent?
- What does it mean that in Christ all the fullness was pleased to dwell?

- If God is invisible, how can we possibly know him?
- When Paul says, “He [Christ, the Son of God] is the image of the invisible God”, what does he mean? Must an “image” be visible? In what sense is the Son of God the image of the Father eternally? In what sense does the Son of God image the Father in the incarnation?
- Who is the Son of God as it pertains to his relationship to the original creation?
- What does Paul mean when he says that all things were created through the Son and for him (Colossians 1:16)? What is meant by “for”?
- The central phrase in this text is found in verse 17b: “and in him all things hold together”. What does this mean? How does it sum up what was said in 1:15-17 and prepare us for what will be said in 1:18-20?
- Are your thoughts concerning Christ too low, are your affections for him too small, and is your walk with him too weak? Discuss. What is the remedy?

- Review Baptist Catechism questions 1-6. What is the relationship between questions 1-6 and 7?
- When we ask the question what is this thing or that? What are we talking about? What is a tree? What is a dog? What is a human? What is God?
- “God is spirit.” Notice, we are not here talking about the third person of the Triune God – the Holy Spirit. We are saying that the Triune God is spirit. What does this mean? And what is the best and simplest Scripture text to cite in support of this?
- How are we to interpret those passages of Scripture that speak of God using the language of human body parts or human emotion? What is the truth communicated by these passages? How can these passages be misinterpreted? (Take Psalm 18:35, Genesis 6:6, and 1 Samual 15:29 as examples. What is the key to interpreting these passages properly?
