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.

- When we talk about the Christian’s walk, what are we referring to?
- How was Israel’s walk in the wilderness (after their redemption from Egypt and before entering Canaan) a picture of our walk in Christ? What can we learn from them?
- Colossians 2:6-4:6 is about the Christian’s walk. In Colossians 3:1-4:6, Paul teaches us how to walk. In Colossians 2:8, 16-23, Paul tells us how not to walk. How is the Christian not to walk?
- What’s the problem with these manmade rules and regulations? I can think of two major problems. The first is hinted at in Colossians 2:8, 17, 19. The second is stated in Colossians 2:23.
- Why must the Christian walk be rooted in Christ?
- Practically speaking, how does a Christian remain rooted in Christ?
- Practically speaking, what does a walk that is pleasing to the Lord look like?

- Read Baptist Catechism question 19 again and attempt to rephrase it. In other words, what is this question all about? What is it asking?
- What is a covenant? Why is it important to understand the various covenants that God has entered into with man? Can you name them?
- The covenant that God made with Adam in the beginning goes by different names. What are they? And what do the various names tell us about this covenant?
- What were the terms of the covenant that God made with Adam? What were the promised blessings for obedience? What were the threatened curses for disobedience?
- The Covenant of Life or Works was made with Adam, but all humanity was affected by Adam’s fall into sin. How can this be?
- This principle of representation (or federal headship) is present in the Covenant of Grace as well. How so? Discuss.
- Romans 5:12-19 and 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 are listed as proof texts in our catechism. Please read those texts and discuss their meaning.

- What is the doctrine of Christian liberty? (see Second London Confession, chapter 21)
- Imagine being in a church where man-made rules and regulations were imposed on you? What effect would this have on your soul?
- Does that doctrine of Christian liberty teach that there is no law for the Christian? Discuss.
- What did Paul mean when he said, “Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind…” (Colossians 2:18, ESV). In other words, what were the false teachers in Colossae teaching?
- How does submitting to man-made rules and regulations sever us from Christ, the Head?
- Why must we go directly to Christ for our salvation and our sanctification?
- How do you plan to apply this text to your life today?

- Why is the word “therefore” at the beginning of Colossians 2:16 important?
- Why did Paul tell the Colossians not to let anyone pass judgment on them? Is there ever a time for church members to judge? Is there ever a time to submit to the judgments of the church? (see 1 Corinthians 5 & 6)
- Specifically, the Colossians were not to allow anyone to pass judgment on them in questions of food and drink. What is this a reference to?
- Also, the Colossians were not to allow anyone to pass judgment on them with regard to a festival, a new moon, or Sabbaths. What is this a reference to?
- Does Colossians 2:16 teach that there is no weekly Sabbath day? What reasons did Pastor Joe give for a Sabbath day remaining under the New Covenant?
- Why did the ceremonial laws (the dietary laws and the religious calendar) of Old Covenant Israel pass away? What should we say to those who teach that they remain?
- Paul says these ceremonial laws are a shadow of the good things to come, but that the substance belongs to Christ. What is the meaning of this?
- How do you plan to apply this text to your life today?

- Who are our first parents?
- What is meant by “estate”?
- What is the short answer to the question, Did our first parents continue in the estate wherein they were created?
- What estate (state of being or condition) did Adam and Eve fall from and into?
- How is it that Adam and Eve could fall given their perfect, pure, innocent, and upright condition at the time of their creation?
- What is free will? (You may want to read Second London Confession, Chapter 9). Did Adam and Eve have free will in the garden before sin entered the world? Was free will (properly defined) lost when Adam fell into sin? What was lost?
- Will we have free will in eternity? Why will we not be able to sin in eternity?
