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.

- What is religious hypocrisy?
- Why did Christ observe the Sabbath day and keep it holy? What did he do on the Sabbath day?
- Why was the ruler of the synagogue angry that Christ healed this woman on the Sabbath?
- Did Christ actually profane the Sabbath when he healed that woman? What did he violate or transgress?
- Why was the Sabbath day a most fitting day for Christ to perform this miracle?
- Did Jesus intend to do away with the Sabbath when he inaugurated the New Covenant? Why then did he enter into so much conflict with the religious leaders of his day over the Sabbath?
- Why should we think that the practice of Sabbath keeping remains for the people of God under the New Covenant? On what day are we to keep the Sabbath? Why has the day changed?

- If I were to ask, what benefits come to those who trust in Christ, I do believe that many people would think first of the heavenly and eternal benefits. Why do you think our catechism asks, “ What benefits do they that are effectually called, partake of in this life?”
- What are the main, “fountainhead”, benefits that Christ gives to his people in this life?
- Without looking ahead in our catechism, what is justification, adoption, and sanctification? And what blessings do you think flow from these?
- What is justification?
- How does a person come to be justified?

- According to Christ, is all suffering the direct result of personal sin? In other words, are we to assume that those who suffer greatly are necessarily great sinners, or that every suffering we experience is the direct result of some particular sin that we have committed?
- Pilate would also shed Christ’s blood (his blood would be offered up as a sacrifice). The wrath of God would fall on him to crush him. How are we to interpret the sufferings of Christ? Did Christ suffer because of sin? (I can think of two ways to answer this question)
- True faith in Christ and true repentence always go together. Discuss.
- What is the relationship between faith and spiritual fruit (obedience, good works)? In other words, will those who have faith in Christ bear good fruit? Why?
- How did the lesson about the barren fig tree especially apply to the people in the crowds who were alive during Jesus’ earthly ministry? How might this lesson apply to us today?

- Who effectually calls? Who is effectually called?
- Why is this calling called “effectual”? Is there a kind of gospel call that is not effective?
- What does the Spirit of God do in the sinner to effectively call them? (Hint: Focus on the phrases that start with words ending in -ing)
- Who must “embrace Jesus”? In other words, who must place their faith or trust in him?
- How does the Spirit persuade and enable the elect to embrace Jesus Christ by faith?
- How is Jesus Christ offered to sinners?
- Why does our catechism use the word “freely”, stating that Jesus Christ is “freely offered to us in the Gospel”?

- The people in Jesus’ day were good at interpreting signs about the weather. What did those who rejected Jesus fail to interpret?
- Why did Jesus call the people hypocrites for their ability to interpret the weather and their inability to interpret the signs that pointed to him as the Messiah? What was hypocritical about this (especially for the religious leaders)?
- In particular, the people were good at predicting when rain and scorching heat would come, but they failed to see that Jesus the Messiah came to bring rain and scorching heat, spiritually speaking. Discuss.
- What did Jesus mean when he exhorted the people to judge rightly and to settle with their accusers before being brought to the judge? Who are our accusers, spiritually speaking? Who is the judge? What does it mean to settle with our accuser, spiritually speaking?
- The unbelieving Jews in Jesus’ day were rebuked by Christ for not properly interpreting the times in which they lived. Does this mean that we seek to interpret the times in which we live as it relates to Christ’s second coming? What do we need to know about the times in which we live? What should our focus be in these last days? When did the last days begin?

- Why is it important for the Christian to have correct expectations of God and Christ? Where do we find the information we need to develop proper expectations concerning our life in this world?
- What did Christ mean when he said, “Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.” (Luke 12:51, ESV)
