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
- Compare and contrast the eating and drinking of Old Covenant Israel in the presence of God, with the eating and drinking of the New Covenant church in the presence of God. How will this theme of eating and drinking before God be brought to a climax in the new heavens and earth?
- Compare and contrast the boldness (or lack thereof) of Old Covenant Israel to approach the throne of God, with the boldness that the New Covenant people of God have to approach the throne of grace. What makes the difference?
- Compare and contrast Moses’ temporary ascent to the top of Sinai with Christ’s once for all ascent into heaven. What can we learn about the differences between the Old Covenant and the New from the ascents of the mediators of these covenants, respectively?

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
Sermon manuscript available at emmausrbc.org
- 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.
