Sermons About Deacons
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 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.

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?

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.
