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.

2. What is Johns main point in vs. 35-51? What does he want his readers to understand through this portion of scripture? Explain.

Hello Emmaus,
After spending 6 weeks studying the Reformation many have expressed a desire to understand more about church history. Some have asked, “so what happened in the church in the days after the Apostles were alive?” That’s a very important question, and one that will be thoroughly answered in this course.
Join us online or in class (Sunday’s at 8:30am in the DVMS library) from November 9th through February 14th as we study ancient church history. Our instructor will be Dr. Robert Godfrey. The study will take us from approximately AD 100-600.
Each lesson consists of a 23 minute video (or audio), a brief quiz, and an opportunity to interact online via discussion board (optional).
If you wish to read a good book on this subject (not required) I would recommend “The Early Church” by Henry Chadwick, which is available in the Emmaus Bookstore.
I trust that we will be better equipped to understand and respond to the issues of our day after learning from those who have gone before us. Remember, history has a tendency to repeat itself!
Please register for Church History I by going to emmauscf.org/essentials.
God Bless,
Pastor Joe
