    The Making Of A Deacon Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Aug 12, 2019
     | 4,170 views

    When looking at the qualifications for a deacon we see that these are things that all Christians should aspire to.

    For far too many churches, the deacons appear to be group that runs and directs the activities of a church, whereas last week we discussed how deacons were set up to be the servants of the church. In fact that is what the title of deacon means, a servant, not a ruler, taskmaster, or overseer. The ...read more

    A Bibilical Deacon

    Contributed by Dwight Kennedy on Feb 22, 2018
    based on 1 rating

    I want us to look at what the BIBLE gives as qualifications of a deacon. Also, the question sometimes comes up, "Do we really need deacons now?" I believe that stems from a misunderstanding of what a deacon should actually be.

    The church has many positions that are filled with Godly men and Godly woman, but the Bible only teaches of two offices: 1) Bishop, Elder, Overseer, or Pastor, and 2) Deacon. Churches today are filled with men who may hold the TITLE of deacon, but their lives disqualify them from actually being a ...read more

    In looking at the lit of spiritual gifts in Romans 12:6-8, we've looked at prophecy, service, teaching, encouraging and giving so far. Today we will learn about the gift of leading.
