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
Sermon manuscript available at emmausrbc.org
- All nations are called to uphold justice by the principle of life for life, eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. Old Covenant Israel was no different in this regard. Discuss from Exodus 21:12–22:20.
- Some extreme forms of immorality were punishable by death in Old Covenant Israel. Why was this true for them, whereas it ought not to be so in common nations?
- Why was imprisonment not mentioned as a punishment for crimes in Israel’s civil laws? Contrast this with our criminal justice system.
- Discuss the justice of Israel’s civil laws and contrast them with the injustice that you see in our own society.
- What did Christ mean when he said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also…” (Matthew 5:38–42, ESV)

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS

- In what ways were the civil laws of Old Covenant Israel unique to them (and are not for us)?
- The civil laws of Israel are similar to our civil laws in this: they served to restrain evil and promote justice. Like ours, they did not aim to eradicate sin. God tolerated much (divorce, polygamy, etc.). Not every sin (violation of God’s moral law) was a crime. Why is this important to understand?
- How was the slavery regulated in Exodus 21 different from the slavery that existed in this country not long ago?
- Laws concerning the just treatment of the weak and vulnerable in society are presented first and last in this collection of case laws. What message does that send?
- Discuss potential applications of this text politically, ecclesiastically, and personally.

- How does recognizing the literary structure of a text help us correctly interpret it?
- Where is the emphasis placed in the case laws section of Exodus 21:1-22:27? Where is the emphasis placed in the imperatival laws section of Exodus 22:8-23:19?
- Though we are not under the civil laws of the Old Testament in the way that Israel was, what can we learn from them? How might we apply them personally? How might we apply them politically?

- Why did Israel fear God at Sinai? See Hebrews 12:20.
- Why did Israel request that Moses mediate? How does this prefigure Christ?
- Why did God give Israel preliminary instructions for worship when instructions for the construction of the tabernacle were forthcoming?
- What did animal sacrifices communicate to the worshipper concerning sin, its consequences, and the coming Savior?
- Moses and the Old Covenant of which he was mediator could not cleanse the worshipper really and truly. Only faith in Christ the mediator of the New Covenant could do that. See especially Hebrews 9 and 10. Discuss.
