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.

For the next couple of weeks, we will be studying and discussing the doctrine of the Trinity. This Thursday, we will be look at scriptures from both the Old and New Testament examining how the doctrine of the Trinity is progressively revealed in the Old Testament and greater clarity in the New Testament. We will also be discussing the three summarizing statements of the Trinity and their significance found in scripture. The summarizing statements are: God is three persons, each person is fully God, and there is one God.
I’m looking forward to another great meeting.

This week, we will continue to examine the communicable attributes of God. We will be following chapter 12 of Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology book that focuses on God’s spirituality, invisibility, knowledge, wisdom, truthfulness, goodness, love, mercy, grace and patience, holiness, peace, and righteousness. In addition to study these attribute of God, we will discuss what it means to be created in the image of God in light of these attributes.
I’m looking forward to another great meeting.

A couple weeks ago, we looked at the incommunicable attributes of God. Those are the “attributes that God does not share or ‘communicate’ to others” (pg. 156) such as his omniscience, omnipresent, eternality, etc. The next two weeks we will be examining God’s communicable attributes. We will be specifically discussing “God’s attributes of purpose, that is, attributes that have to do with making and carrying our decisions (will, freedom, and omnipotence) and his summary attributes (perfection, blessedness, beauty, and glory) (pg. 211). [1]
I’m looking forward to another great meeting with the youth of Emmaus.
God Bless,

I usually post what we are going to be talking about at Youth a couple days prior to our meeting. Last week I was unable to do so but I wanted to share what we discussed.
Last Thursday, we spent the entire time discussing the Gospel Community Group questions. While we briefly discuss these questions week to week last Thursday we took the entire time and were truly blessed by what was talked about.
Here are the questions we discussed:
1. What characteristics have you learned about Peter in studying the first part of his second letter? How can you relate to Peter?
2. Do you fear death? Why? What does Peter tell us in his second letter to give us hope and freedom from fear of death?
3. Are you putting too much hope and focus on this current life or are you focused on the spiritual and eternal? Share.
4. Is your devotion to Christ where you want it to be? Why or why not. Share.
5. What can we do as individuals and as a church to ensure we are preserving the truth of God’s word? Gives examples. Share.
Keep up the great work parents and students!

Over the next couple of weeks we will be discussing the character of God. We will be examining our Lords incommunicable and communicable attributes. Wayne Grudem defines the incommunicable attribute of God as “those attributes that God does not share or ‘communicate’ to others” (pg. 156). [1] While mankind was made in the likeness of God, no man contains the incommunicable attributes of God. Examples of these attributes would be his all knowing (omniscience), all present (omnipresent), all powerful (omnipotent), eternality, unity, etc.
Also, I would encourage you to look at the Gospel Community Group (GCG) Questions for the sermon 11/4/12 as we will briefly be discussing these.
I’m looking forward to the deep and meaningful discussion.

On Thursday nights, we have been using Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology to guide our study focus. We have finished our study in the area of the doctrine of the Word of God (part 1) and have begun to study the Doctrine of God (part two). The last two weeks we have discussed the existence of God by examining the cosomological and moral argument. The cosomological argument states that “every known thing in the universe has a cause. Therefore, it reasons, the universe itself must also have a cause, and the cause of such a great universe can only be God” (pg. 143). The moral argument “begins from man’s sense of right and wrong, and of the need for justice to be done, and argues that there must be a God who is the source of right and wrong and who will someday meet out justice to all people” (pg. 143).
This week, we will examine the teleogical argument. “It focuses on the evidence of harmony, order, and design in the universe, and argues that its design gives evidence of an intelligent purpose. Since the universe appears to be designed with a purpose, there must be an intelligent and purposeful God who created it to function this way” (pg. 143). [1]
We will be viewing and discussing the section on irreducible complicities from the documentary, Unlocking the Mystery of Life. Michael Behe in his book, Darwin’s Black Box, explains irreducible complexities as followed:
“By irreducibly complex I mean a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning. An irreducibly complex system cannot be produced directly (that is, by continuously improving the initial function, which continues to work by the same mechanism) by slight, successive modifications of a precursor system, because any precursor to an irreducibly complex system that is missing a part is by definition nonfunctional. An irreducibly complex biological system, if there is such a thing, would be a powerful challenge to Darwinian evolution.” (p. 39)
While these arguments are edifying for believers and helpful in sharing our faith, we must never forget that “faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17).
I’m looking forward to another great night of discussions and fellowship with the youth of Emmaus!
God Bless

This Thursday (9/13) we will be discussing the inerrancy of scripture as outlined in chapter 5 or Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology book. We will be discussing why we can trust God’s word and know that it is without error. We will also be examining various objections to the inerrancy of scripture and why these objections do not hold true.
