Grow: How to Know Who Can Be Your Deacon | 1 Timothy 3:8-13
From Turn Evangelism · 48:19
Show by T. S. Myers
The Greek word for deacon means servant. And God calls everyone to be a servant in a certain sense. There we find that there is more blessing in giving than in getting. But in another sense, God has set an office in his church with the same name, an office with a purpose. This deacon office is one that serves God by serving him in such a way that the ministry of the Word, entrusted to the elders, is not neglected. Throughout Acts, growth of the church is used interchangeably with the Word of God growing. And since the one church represents the whole Christ, who both served and taught, both functions need to be in place to fully represent him. In this sermon, Pastor Thomas Myers answers three questions: What is a deacon, what are the qualificaitons of a deacon, and what are the benifits of being a deacon. Let God speak to you as he challenges you to walk like him as a servant.Send us a message!
