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.

- Why does Christ instruct us to pray for God’s honor before we pray for our needs and the needs of others? What effect does this have upon the heart of the believer?
- What sorts of practical things should we be praying for? Do you find yourself praying for the “big stuff”, the “small stuff”, or both? What is Christ’s instruction in this regard?
- How often do you pray? How often ought you to pray?
- What does prayer effect? Does it accomplish anything in time and space, or does it simply change the heart of the one praying? How do we reconcile the effectiveness of prayer with the biblical teaching concerning the sovereignty of God?
- Does God care more about our physical needs (daily bread) or our spiritual needs (forgive us, lead us, deliver us)?
- Have you memorized the Lord’s Prayer?
- When and where do you plan to spend time in daily prayer?
- How can your brothers and sisters in Christ pray for you?

As you all know, each week I post the catechism question and answer, memory verse, thoughts, and discussion questions. I thought it would be beneficial to share with you some of the resources I have been using as they may be beneficial for you and your family.
Training Hearts, Teaching Minds by Starr Meade is written in a form intended to be used for family devotions. It focuses on one catechism each week, Monday through Saturday. For each day of the week the author provides short commentary about the catechism question and answer along with scripture readings. The book can be found here: Training Hearts, Teaching Minds
Another resource that has been useful in my study of the catechism is The Westminster Shorter Catechism: for Study Classes by G.I Williamson. This text differs than that of Training Hearts, Teaching Minds in that this book is set up for more a study rather than a quick daily devotion. While it provides more teaching on the catechism it is not too weighty. His writing is very concise and provides about three to four pages of writing for two to three catechism questions. This book would be great for adults to increase their understanding of the catechism and various doctrines. It would also be a great tool for parents and older children to work through together as each section provides discussion questions. Westminster Shorter Catechism: For Study Classes
A couple important things to note: these two resources contain an abundance of correct biblical theology but since they are written by man they are subject to error. While, I recommended these two resources we must always read these types of texts with discernment to ensure that they are in-line with the truths of scripture.
It is also important to note that the leadership of Emmaus Christian Fellowship holds to the view of believer’s baptism as opposed to infant baptism as found in the Westminster Shorter Catechism and in these two texts.
May the Lord bless your time in family worship as you seek to train up your children in the Lord!
