The Local Church: Led by Elders, Served by Deacons (Part I)
The word “elder†is used over 20 times to refer to an office in the local church. In this sense, we could define elders as follows: The elders are a group of men, called by God and conformed to the Gospel in sound living and sound doctrine, who are set apart by the congregation to oversee and pastor the local church by teaching, ruling, caring for and equipping the saints, as loving and humble examples of Jesus Christ.
May Women be Deacons (Deaconesses)?
May women serve as deacons? If the role of deacons is determined biblically, yes. If the role of deacons is defined by baptist tradition (deacons serving as quasi-elders), no. Many roles in the church in which women currently serve are actually deacon positions.
The rise of the Deacons
Imagine if no noe vacuumed the floors at church, set up chairs, visited the sick, saw to the up keep. What you imagined is a Church without Deacons. In Acts 6 we see the rise of the office of Deacons.
The Local Church: Congregationalism - Defending & Displaying the Glory of God in the Gospel of Jesus Christ
It is that way with a church? If a gaggle is nothing more than a group of geese, is a church really nothing more than a gathering of Christians? It doesn’t matter how they organize themselves. If you get enough Christians together in one place, isn’t that a church? Or, could it be that God has said something in his word about how Christians are to organize themselves as a local church?
Greek Problems
In this 4th message of his series Scripture Abuse Pastor Lundmark discusses four areas where the Greek Language presents theological problems. We learn in this message that while the English text is sufficient for much of our study, when we get into battle over doctrine an understanding of the Greek is essential before dogmatic statements can be made. This sermon looks at how the Greek language important issues such as the Deity of Christ, Deacons in the Church, Women in the Church, and our need of being Dragged to Christ.
Elders and Deacons
Who leads the church? What does this have to do with an "average" Christian?
A Healthy Church...Has Leaders and Followers
Can organization be a mark of church health? The Bible makes it clear it has to be. God ordains the roles and duties of elders, deacons, and members, and how they should relate to one another in order to accomplish his purposes in the world.
Leadership Matters
Leadership Matters. The church desperately needed Godly leadership in the first century and it desperately needs it now. The scripture is clear that we all are responsible to Jesus Christ but it is also clear that there are some who are to be responsible for others as well. This sermon is the Apostle Paul's charge to the young Pastor Timothy to find men who are qualified to lead the church. Elders in oversight and Deacons in service.
1 Timothy 3
This passage deals with the qualifications of deacons and pastors, as well as Christians in general.
