    I want to make a few comments about elders, deacons, and the congregation.

     | 4,243 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

    The Noble Task Of Leadership Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Nov 22, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,826 views

    Jesus has given leaders to the church who are called to a lead through their Christian character and example; it is not a calling that all desire because it comes with great responsibility. It is also a calling that requires great respect.

    Message “The Noble Task of Leadership” 1 Timothy 3:1 Why do politicians get such a rough stick when it comes to their leadership? I don’t want you to answer out loud but I suspect, if we were to share our thoughts and answers, there would be many reasons … and a few of us might even start getting ...read more

    A Bibilical Deacon

    Contributed by Dwight Kennedy on Feb 22, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,591 views

    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
