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.

Yes, it’s true that nowhere in the scriptures do we find a command to celebrate Christmas, much less Advent. And yes, it’s true that Christ was not born on December 25th (he was probably born in the Spring time).
Christmas and Advent are admittedly traditions established by the church long after the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. While they are certainly not essential to the Christian faith, I do believe they are good traditions. They can help us slow down and to ponder the wonder of the Christ and the salvation that has been provided through him.
Here at Emmaus we desire to make the most out of these traditions by using them to help center our hearts on Jesus. My prayer for you, church, is that as you decorate your home and give gifts this holiday season, Christ would be at the center of it all.
Teach your children about Jesus and share the gospel with those who don’t know him. Use the lights, the tree, the nativity, and the giving of gifts as illustrations to prompt discussion concerning the coming of the Christ and the precious gift of salvation that he has given to all who trust in Him.
Here is a link to a free digital booklet from John Piper and Desiring God Ministries. It is a daily devotional containing short readings for each day of Advent (December 2nd – 25th in 2012). If you would like Emmaus to provide you with a print copy please email [email protected] – we would be happy to bring you one on Sunday.
Blessings,
Joe
