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: Second London Confession 26.9
posted on Sunday, December 15th by Joe

  1. Who fits and gifts a man for his office? What is meant by “fitted”? What is meant by “gifted”.
  2. How is the church to choose those Christ has gifted and fitted? How do they know what to look for?
  3. Who is to set the man apart (ordain) the elders and deacons the church has chosen?
  4. How are men to be ordained to their office? What is this process to involve?
  5. Why is the ordination of elders to involve fasting and prayer?
  6. Why is the appointment of officers to be regarded as a solemn (weighty) matter? 

Discussion Questions: Luke 17:1-10
posted on Sunday, December 15th by Joe

  1. Luke 17:1-10 concludes the discourse that began in Luke 15:1. Why is it important to recognize that Luke 15:1-17:10 is one unit? What was the setting when Christ delivered these teachings? What are the major themes found in this entire section? How will remembering the situation and the themes help us to properly interpret this concluding passage?
  2. How might a person cause or tempt another person to sin? Who are the “little ones” that Christ mentions at the end of verse 2? How did the rich man in the previous parable tempt Lazarus to sin? How diddid the scribes and Pharisees tempt the tax collectors and sinners to sin? Why must those with spiritual authority be especially careful to not tempt “little ones” to sin?
  3. The scribes and Pharisees were self-righteous, judgmental, and condemning of others. In contrast to this, how are disciples of Jesus to deal with sin and sinners? See verses 3-5. 
  4. In context, why did the apostles ask Jesus to increase their faith?
  5. How are disciples of Jesus to view themselves? After obeying and serving Christ faithfully, what are they to say? Christ will commend those who are faithful servants, but he will not thank them. Why?
