    When God gives us a task, His perfect plan includes the resources to do it: strength, action, and courage. Sermon for deacon ordination service.

    We have been burning fuel very rapidly. Coal, oil, natural gas .. we are consuming it. It is irreplaceable.

    I wrote this sermon for the ordination of a deacon at my church.

    INTRODUCTION: (Ordination of Glen Colby) This evening is a special night for me, not just for the Colby family. First of all, it is my first opportunity to be involved in an ordination ceremony. Next, when I was growing up the deacons at my church were some of my heroes. These men were such ...read more

    Here is a message that uses the life and actions of Nehemiah as a lesson to challenge and teach the true nature of a servant. This message would work for either dicsipleship or as a challenge for an ordination service.

    THE ACTIONS OF A MAN GOD USES One of the greatest issues facing the church today is the dearth of leadership. There has never been a greater need for God called, God inspired, God equipped leadership. God has however taught us all we need to learn about leadership in the Bible. He has also ...read more

    The Appointing Of Deacons

     | 3,363 views

    When the volunteer workload is placed on just a handful of people, these individuals get burnt out; and since they can’t do everything, then a lot of needs go unmet. It is biblical to appoint deacons and train ministry volunteers to assist.

    NOTE: This submission includes in this order: 1. Deacon Ordination Sermon, 2. Deacon Ordination Service, 3. Sermon Footnotes. DEACON ORDINATION SERMON: "The Appointing of Deacons" The term “ordain,” which is often used in Baptist and other Christian circles, never occurs in the New ...read more

    Short sermon based on 1 Timothy 3:8-13 that can be used for a deacon ordination service.

    WHAT’S A DEACONS SUPPOSED TO BE? 1 Timothy 3:8-13 INTRO – “What is a deacon supposed to do?” Had a friend ask me that AFTER he had already been ordained as a deacon. Probably a good idea to know the answer BEFORE you get ordained! Truth is that it’s more important that a deacon know what he is ...read more

    When one is called by God into the ministry, that calling is sacred and cannot be entered into in a flippant or nonchalant manner. We must challenge and charge both the ordination candidate AND the witnesses (church body) to hold themselves accountable an

    The Old Covenant of Moses was written on stone in Ten Commandments. Where was the New Covenant written? Look at what God tells us!

    From Moses to Christ 2 Corinthians 3 In this chapter we have a contrast between the old and new covenants. What seems to be happening is this: some false teachers who are attempting to undermine his credibility and authority in the church here are accusing Paul. He saves his biggest assaults ...read more

    We claim to know too much, as we want to make ourselves elite, we want to close off new ideas. Know nothing but the servant heart (a sermon for deacon ordination).

    The psalmist says, “He has put a new song in my mouth.” And so I took that very literally and composed a new song for church today. Do you want to hear me sing it? It’s called, “Blessed ignorance, Jesus is mine” You say you don’t think you know that one? You say you think I got that wrong? ...read more

    Does the church undervalue the practice of foot washing? Should it be an ordinance or a sacrament

    Is Foot Washing a Sacrament? John 13:1-17 Introduction Foot washing has been erratically performed by the church throughout the ages. Different groups hold to divergent opinions of it. I used to be in the Church of God where it was held in high regard, at least then. It seems even there to have ...read more

    “What’s This All About?” Heb. 13:7-21 So we have ordained and installed another group of Elders and Deacons. I truly believe it’s always a very special time in the life of the newly elected leaders and also in the congregation. But what’s this really all about? What ...read more
