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.
Learn MoreEmmaus Reformed Baptist Church is committed to the fullfilment of the Great Commision given by our Lord when he said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:18-20 ESV), through the planting of local churches, both at home and abroad.

This week the sermon gave a summary of Genesis chapters 1 and 2. In the summary Joe mentioned five main truths that are learned from these two chapters. The truths are:
1. Everything is ultimately about the almighty God who created the heavens, the earth, and everything within.
2. God is powerful, good, gracious, and relational.
3. Humans bear the image of God (though now deformed).
4. Though we are made in the image of God, even in our perfect state we were but dust- fully dependent on God for life and sustenance.
5. The thing that made paradise, paradise is that all worship was directed toward the one Person to whom worship is due.
The following is a list of 5 application questions corresponding to each truth.
1. How has your past week reflected this truth? Are you viewing your daily life as being a part of Gods ultimate plan? Are you viewing your life as God’s process of spiritual formation as we are being shaped into the person that God will use for eternity? How so? Why or why not? Share with your group.
2. How has your view of God changed as you have grown closer to him? What do you struggle with in your perception of God? (i.e. He will not be faithful, He will take something/someone from me, He is angry with me, etc.)
3. What does it mean to “bear the image of God”? Discuss with your group.
4. At our core, we are designed to be dependent on God for all things. Where do you struggle in this area (money, love, job, security, purpose)?
5. What does it mean to “worship” God. Discuss. Be sure to reference scripture.
