Speaker: Troy Phelps Date: 5/7/22 Location: Orinda The early New Testament Church was growing at an amazing rate, yet this rapid growth created a need in the Church for individuals to be dedicated to physical service. In this sermon, we dive into a series of connected Greek words to see the important ordained role of deacons and deaconesses within the Church. Additionally, we consider the important qualifications listed by Paul for this ordained position and how each of us must be working in our lives to meet these qualifications.
