This sermon explores what Scripture has to say about the only two offices of Christ's Church--Deacons and Elders--by looking at the origins of the offices in Acts 6:1-7 and the qualifications of the offices in 1 Timothy 3:1-13.
Whenever the office of the Deacon is presented in Scripture it is given alongside the office of the Elder. By looking at the origin and qualifications of these two offices alongside each other, we can better see their similarities and differences. And we can learn how these offices are to be complementary and not competitive.
The office of the Deacon is perhaps the most misunderstood and misused role within the church today. Yet the proper ministry that flows from the Deacons is vital to the witness, health, and life of the church.
