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.

- Who does the “he” in Colossians 1:15 refer to? What is Paul’s main objective in Colossians 1:15-20?
- 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?

- Paul prayed unceasingly for the Colossians after hearing of their faith, hope, and love. What did he say? What was the substance of his prayer?
- Paul’s prayer follows the first half of the Lord’s Prayer. Discuss.
- When Paul told the Colossians about the substance of his prayer for them, it countered the false teaching that was present in Colossae. How so?
- Paul prayed that Colossians would “be filled with the knowledge of [God’s] will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding…” (Colossians 1:9, ESV). What does it mean to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will?
- What did Paul pray the result would be of their being filled with the knowledge of God’s will?
- In the Greek, four participles follow the phrase, “so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him”. They clarify what it means to walk worthily. What are they (in English)?
- In verse 13, Paul states a glorious truth. What is it? How does this statement prepare us for the next passage? How does it refute the Colossian error?

- How is Colossians structured generally? What are the four main parts of this letter?
- Paul begins almost all his letters to the churches by giving thanks or praise to God. What can we learn from this?

- What, in particular, did Paul thank God for?
- What are faith, hope, and love, and how are they related? How does faith produce hope, and how does hope produce love?
