    God designed the church to grow. We need to look again at what the Bible says about that and begin to do what God blesses with increase.

    Jesus once said that the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. Though it is smaller than other seeds, when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches. Matt. ...read more

    The office of the deacons was set up to meet a need in the church for day to day ministry. The head ministers had to have help in order to fulfill their preaching mission.

What we need to note is that the office of the deacons was set up to meet a need in the church for day to day ministry. The head ministers had to have help ...read more

    A sermon that encourages to have a broad view of Christian care.

    As we think about what it means to be a caring community, it is important to think about how we reflect God in our caring. This means that foundational to all our caring is God. When God is foundational to our caring, we see how much God loves us and cares for us. And second to God being ...read more

    Some in the Church were complaining. The text makes it appear that their complaining was like the “buzzing of bees.” The topic was the welfare of the widows in the congregation. In that day the only help that widows received came from the Church.

    The Bible tells us very little about what Deacons were and what they did. And when these men do their jobs correctly they can become the most important leaders in the Church. What should a deacon do? And how does he become so important to God?
