Ministry to Youth

Emmaus’ youth ministry does not take the place of our regular Sunday worship service. We believe that our young people are a valuable and significant part of the congregation, and therefore, should regularly attend our Sunday worship services where they will learn from the teaching of the scriptures, worship, and interact with the adults of Emmaus.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Discussion Questions: Colossians 1:24
posted on Sunday, February 15th by Joe

  1. What did Paul suffer?
  2. For whom did he suffer?
  3. What did Paul mean when he said, “and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions”? Was there anything lacking in what Christ suffered to accomplish our redemption? In what sense is Christ still “afflicted”?
  4. When Paul said, I rejoice in my sufferings, he meant it. Why did Paul rejoice in his sufferings? How can we rejoice in ours (or count the trials and tribulations of life as joy, as James 1:2-4 says)?
  5. How do you plan to apply this Scripture text to your life today? 

Discussion Questions: Baptist Catechism 8 & 9
posted on Sunday, February 15th by Joe

  1. If there is only one God, why do the Scriptures speak of “gods”? (i.e. Deut.  6:14)
  2. Why does our catechism stress that God is the “living” and “true” God? What do the words “living” and “true” communicate? What errors do they correct?
  3. Why is it important to stress that God is one before speaking about the plurality in the Godhead? What error does this guard against?
  4. Who are the three persons of the Trinity? What do the three persons share in common as the one living and true God? What distinguished them from each other?
  5. Though it is true that the doctrine of the Trinity is a mystery (God is incomprehensible, remember?), our confession says that the  “doctrine of the Trinity is the foundation of all our communion with God, and comfortable dependence on him (Second London Confession, 2.3). What is the meaning of this statement? How does the doctrine of the Trinity serve as the foundation of our communion with God and bring comfort to God’s people?
