Sermons About Ordination
Keep Watch - A Deacon Ordination Charge
On his way home from Philippi to Jerusalem, Paul stopped off at Miletus (Mē-lā-tus) to visit with the Ephesian elders (Acts 20:1-17). Paul’s time of leading the church at Ephesus had come to an end. As he prepared to pass that responsibility on to others, he gives these words of advice: “Take heed (Keep Watch) therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. (Acts 20:28)

Voluntary Ordination
The central thought here is that of a Christian who does not seek his own interests but rather assumes a “voluntary ordination” of himself to God and to others. A true believer submits himself to authority because he is, first of all, submitted to Christ and then he uses his freedom as a tool to proclaim God’s praise (v. 9), an example to others that glorifies God (v. 11) and a means of silencing foolish critics (v. 15).

Love Mercy
Dr. Johnny Pope preaches from this passage and Micah 6:8 to help us understand that we need to love mercy. God is the God of a second chance and because we have received mercy at His hand, we should enjoy demonstrating mercy to those who wrong us. Those who have not received forgiveness and mercy and a hard time sharing it with others.

Set Apart by the Holy Spirit
How does a man know if he should be ordained to the Gospel ministry? And how does a church know? This sermon presents the Biblical pattern, purpose and process of ordination. The Holy Spirit is at work in a man's personal desire to serve, in his period of preparation for ministry, and in the public confirmation of his call.
