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: Luke 22:35-38
posted on Sunday, August 31st by Joe

  1. What did the bickering of the disciples over the question of greatness reveal about their expectations for the inauguration of Christ’s kingdom? Were they expecting to suffer in this inaugurated kingdom or to enter glory? Discuss.
  2. When Christ said, “But now let the one who has a moneybag take it, and likewise a knapsack. And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one” (Luke 22:36, ESV), what was he revealing about life in his inaugurated kingdom? How does it compare to the disciples’ previous experience with Jesus? How does it compare with life in glory?
  3. How does the command to take moneybags, knapsacks, and swords with us on our Christian journey help to guard us from fanatical and unwise living?  
  4. Why is it important for disciples of Jesus to recognize this pattern: first suffering, then glory? How does this pattern relate to Jesus? How does this pattern relate to us?
  5. Read Isaiah 53 and observe the “first suffering, then glory” pattern there?

Discussion Questions: Baptist Catechism 100
posted on Sunday, August 31st by Joe

  1. How is a person to be baptized? What is to be done to the person? What is to be said?
  2. Why is immersion the proper way to baptize?
  3. What symbolism is lost when baptisms are done by sprinkling or pouring water? See Romans 6. 
  4. If a person was baptized upon profession of faith by a minister of the gospel in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but by pouring or sprinkling, may we regard their baptism as valid, though improperly done?
