A Sermon (#544) Preached By William “Bill” Touchton
Edited By Michael D. Lawson
If you have your Bibles turn with me tonight to the book of 1 Timothy and tonight we want to continue in our study on the subject of spiritual leadership.
Last week we looked at what the pastor should be, and tonight we want to look at what the deacons should be.
When the pulpit committee interviewed by one of the questions they asked me was, How do you see the role of deacon in the local church?
My answer was, I see them as an extension of the pastoral ministry, they simply expand the ministry. And over the years, I have learned that if the pastor will be what he is supposed to be, and deacons will be what they are supposed to be, then everyone else will follow our lead. And the church will grow spiritually and numerically.
So, look with me at verse 8 and lets take a look at the deacons.
