God's Waiters Who Serve the Church (Part 2) by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

1 Timothy 3:8-13... Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. In part two of this message about deacons, we continue to look at the traits that are to be in his life. He is to be proved. What does that mean? We explain it. We take time to show the importance of self examination in the life of any Christian, not just a deacon. We also speak about the requirements that are to be in the wife of a deacon. She is not to be a slanderer and sober in all things. We explain the meaning of these traits. This message was preached on Sunday night, February 26,2023, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
