Topic: Deacons Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:8–3:13, Acts 6:1–6:7
OUTLINE
-
Faithful Deacons Are Qualified, Official Facilitators of Ministry (1 Tim 3:8–12)
-
Faithful Deacons Protect, Defuse, Unify, and Mobilize the Church (Acts 6:1–7)
-
Faithful Deacons Gain Great Confidence in the Faith (1 Tim 3:13)
-
Six Ways To Respond To Deacons and Their Ministry
-
Like elders, only install deacons with qualified character, proven skill set, and who are unifiers of the church
-
Recognize that deacons are a needs based office that functions like “assistants to the elders.”
-
Deacons, like elders, don’t do ministry so the church doesn't have to.
-
Should you pursue being a deacon? Do you see or foresee areas where the elders are hindered from Word ministry?
-
Pray for and thank your deacons!
-
Recognize the love and ministry of Jesus through your deacons.
