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: Baptist Catechism 16
posted on Sunday, April 28th by Joe

  1. Who are our first parents?
  2. What is meant by “estate”?
  3. What is the short answer to the question, Did our first parents continue in the estate wherein they were created?
  4. What estate (state of being or condition) did Adam and Eve fall from and into?
  5. How is it that Adam and Eve could fall given their perfect, pure, innocent, and upright condition at the time of their creation?
  6. What is free will? (You may want to read Second London Confession chapter 9). Did Adam and Eve have free will in the garden before sin entered the world? Was free will (properly defined) lost when Adam fell into sin? What was lost?
  7. Will we have free will in eternity? Why will we not be able to sin in eternity?

Discussion Questions: Luke 10:38-42
posted on Sunday, April 28th by Joe

  1. What does the story about Mary and her sister Martha have to do with the first and second greatest commandments mentioned in Luke 10:27?
  2. Compare and contrast Mary (in Luke 10:39)  with the lawyer (in Luke 10:25). What is similar about them? What is different?
  3. All who love God truly must sit at the feet of Jesus to receive, believe, and obey his word. This is a bold statement. Why is it true now that the Christ has come? Related to this, we know that the lawyer did not keep the second greatest commandment. Did he keep the first? Why or why not?    
  4. Why does Jesus say that Mary chose the good portion? What is meant by this?
  5. Does Jesus criticize Martha for her service and hospitality? If there is anything wrong with her service and hospitality, what is it?
  6. How might Mary and Martha represent the responsibilities of the church and the two offices of the church, elder and deacon?
  7. How does this text apply to your life today? How should this text change the way that you think, speak, and act?
