The church is an assembly of people gathered to worship.
The Catholic church has appologized for past injustices.
The Assemblies of God apologized for not denouncing slavery.
Pastor J apologized for the church's failure to us.

What does Emmaus believe?
That we are the body of Christ whether we believe it or not. 1 Corinthians 12:12-27
That we are missional or apostolic - led by the spirit of God. Matthew 28:16-20

Did U Know Part 2: What We Believe

Alise Barrymore
There are core Christian beliefs, Emmaus beliefs and all Christian beliefs.
Core beliefs:
The Trinity 1x1x1=1
The Creator
God is good

Jesus as a shepard. Psalm 23:1-6
The shepard is responsible for ensuring the sheep don't wander away.
You can be in pain and have God.
Pain is allowed as a means of correction. Romams 8:18, 28, 38
God can redeem our faith after pain:
Israel as they pursued the promised land.
Joseph enslaved in Egypt.
Jesus dying on the cross.
We must believe God will redeem us after pain and suffering.

1. Distractions, interruptions, and diversions.

2. Dissatisfaction, discontentment, and disappointment. Philippians 4:12-13, 1 Timothy 6:5

3. Deception. Luke 4:1-5, Isaiah 50:9
