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.

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS
The sermon manuscript is available at emmausrbc.org/category/sermons
- What does it mean to be offended by Jesus?
- When the disciples of John asked Jesus, are you the one who is to come?, this indicates there were doubts amongst them. Why were the disciples of John tempted to doubt? Why were they tempted to pull back from Jesus?
- Do you think that John doubted? Or do you agree with Calvin and many other ancient and Reformed commentators, that John was sending his disciples to Jesus for their own sake? If you agree that this was for the disciples of John, what was John’s strategy?
- In the sermon, I made a case that the phrase, “the one who is to come”, is technical language referring to the promised Messiah. See Malachi 3:1–2 and Psalm 118:26 and discuss.
- Why didn’t Jesus simply say, Yes, I’m the one? Why did he perform those particular miracles and then say, “the poor have good news preached to them”? How was this a much more helpful answer than a simple “yes”? (Hint: look at Isaiah 35:1-6 and Isaiah 61:1-3).
- The saying of Jesus, “Blessed is the one who is not offended by me”, is both a statement of fact and an exhortation/warning. How is it an exhortation? (You might want to keep reading in Isaiah 61 through to the end of the chapter and pay special attention to verse 9).
- Are you, or have you been, tempted to be offended by Jesus? How might we grow in our confidence that Jesus is the Messiah so that we do not pull away from him?

The sermon manuscript is available at emmausrbc.org/category/sermons
- Do you think that Luke 7:11-17 is meant to be compared with 1 Kings 17:8–24? If so, why? What do we learn about Jesus when we compare and contrast these texts?
- How does the miracle of Luke 7:11-17 function as a sign that Jesus is the Messiah?
- How does this miracle symbolize the totality of Jesus’ mission?
- What is different about the resurrection of Jesus when compared to the raising of the widow’s son (Luke 7:14), the young daughter of Jairus (Luke 8:54), and Jesus’ friend, Lazarus (John 11:43)? There are many differences, but one is really big. Hint: It has to do with the quality of life that follows.
- Jesus has won the victory over sin, Satan, and death and has been raised to life incorruptible. How do we come to benefit from this? And what difference should this make in our lives today, and especially at the moment of death?

- How is the story of the Roman centurion with great faith and the healing of his beloved servant related to what follows (Luke 7:18-23)? How is this story related to the sermon on the plane (Like 6:17-49)?
- What was so great about the faith of the Roman centurion that would cause Jesus to marvel? (Hint: it is not simply that he believed that Jesus was able to heal – others believed that (see Luke 5:17-26).
- Why is it significant that this man with great faith was a Roman? What does that have to do with the work that Christ came to do and the nature of his kingdom?
- What principles can you draw from this text to apply to your own life today?
