West Cabarrus Church
Pastor Chad Miller will continue our Together Series this morning. The Bible calls us to celebrate those in our midst that are maturing and disciplined. The privilege of serving together in a meaningful/biblical way drives us to God's Word to see who qualifies.
Acts 6:1-7 ESV
WHAT IS DISTINCT ABOUT THESE MEN IN ACTS 6?
- Good Reputation (Luke 4:22)
- Full of the Holy Spirit (Eph 5:18; Gal 5:25)
- Full of Wisdom (Job 28; James 3:14-18)
1 Timothy 3:8-13 ESV
WHAT IS DEMANDED FOR BEING APPOINTED TO SERVE IN 1 TIMOTHY 3?
Men that are...
- Sincere (Psa 19:14)
- Sober (Prov 25:28)
- Satisfied and Content (1 Tim 6:5-6)
- Settled in the Faith (James 2:14)
- Tried and True (Eph 4:14)
- Strengthened by the Family (Mal 4:6; Eph 5:25, 28; Col 3:19)
WHO IS DEMONSTRATING THIS HERE AND NOW?
- Who are the men you thought were already deacons?
- Who are the men you would call if your family had a need?
- Who are the men that you know would pray…and selflessly DO if they could?
-Who are the men that you trust to handle anything that comes up at church?
USE THE DEACON NOMINATION FORMS to celebrate these men in our community. (You have one inserted in your bulletin/program. There are extras at the Welcome Center - you may nominate more than one.)

HOW CAN WE DEVELOP ONE ANOTHER TO BE QUALIFIED TO SERVE?
With Bibles open,
- We will fix our eyes on Jesus
- We will call men/women to be men/women of God!
- We will make disciple-making disciples of all generations
- Our Men’s Ministry will focus on disciple-making in a way that strengthens men to lead/serve
