Gospel Community Groups

Catechesis

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.

- Paul was an Apostle, and yet he regarded himself as a minister or servant. What can we learn from this? If Paul the Apostle regarded himself as a servant, how should pastors or elders and all Christians regard themselves?
- What practical difference will it make if you approach each day with the mind and heart of a servant? Think of day-to-day life in the home, at work, in the community, and within the church.
- What is a stewardship? Why is it important to think of yourself, not only as a servant, but as a steward?
- We all want to hear the words, “well done, good and faithful servant” on the last day, and so we had better understand our duties. What are the particular duties of elders, deacons, church members, husbands, wives, parents, and children?

- What is a decree?
- Why is it right to talk about God’s decree before we consider his work of creation and his works of providence?
- What did God decree?
- Why did God decree what he decreed? What “moved” him?
- What is the end goal or objective of God’s decree?
- Why is it wrong for us to seek our own glory and right for God to seek his own glory? Stated differently, why would it be wrong for God not to seek his own glory supremely?
- How is it our greatest good for God to glorify himself?

- 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)?

- 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?

- What is the difference between the communicable and incommunicable attributes of God? Which of the attributes listed in Baptist Catechism 7 belong to each category?

- What does it mean that God is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His justice?
- What does it mean that God is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His goodness?
- What does it mean that God is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His truth?
- How do these attributes of God make you feel? Do they make you tremble? Do they bring peace? What does Jesus and his work on the cross have to do with this?

- What is the new or second creation? Why is it needed? When was it promised? When did it first arrive? When will it be here in full? How will it differ from the first creation?
- 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?
- How does Christ reconcile everything on earth to God? How does Christ reconcile everything in heaven to God?
- How do you plan to apply this text to your life today?

- What do we mean when we say that God is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable?
- Why is it important for us to apply these three terms to each of the seven perfections of God that are mentioned in our catechism?
- Why is it better to use the word “perfections” than “attributes” when speaking of God?
- What does it mean that God is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in his being?
- What does it mean that God is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in his wisdom?
- What does it mean that God is infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in his power?
- How should these truths make a sinner feel? How should these truths make one who is redeemed, forgiven, and reconciled to the Father through faith in Christ Jesus feel?
