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 1:9-14
posted on Sunday, January 18th by Joe

  1. Paul prayed unceasingly for the Colossians after hearing of their faith, hope, and love. What did he say? What was the substance of his prayer?
  2. Paul’s prayer follows the first half of the Lord’s Prayer. Discuss. 
  3. When Paul told the Colossians about the substance of his prayer for them, it countered the false teaching that was present in Colossae. How so?
  4. Paul prayed that Colossians would “be filled with the knowledge of [God’s] will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding…” (Colossians 1:9, ESV). What does it mean to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will?
  5. What did Paul pray the result would be of their being filled with the knowledge of God’s will?
  6. In the Greek, four participles follow the phrase, “so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him”. They clarify what it means to walk worthily.  What are they (in English)?
  7. In verse 13, Paul states a glorious truth. What is it? How does this statement prepare us for the next passage? How does it refute the Colossian error?
  8. How do you plan to apply this text to your life today?
