Foundations Series Part 2
Qualified Servants for the Church - Deaconship Week 1
Qualified Servants for the Church - Deaconship Week 1
Various forms of a Greek word diakonos, diakonia, diakoneo, being the three particular forms, one referring to servant, another to service, and another the verb to serve.
There is no diminishing of spiritual quality in the role of deacon when compared with the role of pastor-elder.
1. We are all called to serve/minister
The terms diakonos, diakonia, and diakoneo are used at least 100 times in the New Testament.
In its original meaning, it had the idea of primarily serving tables.

In its original meaning, it had the idea of primarily serving tables.
You find three other texts in the gospel, where the term diakonos refers to serving at a meal: John 12:2, Luke 10:40, and Luke 17:8
In Romans 13:4, a soldier or a policeman is called a diakonos, a deacon, a servant.

Anything you do to follow Jesus constitutes diakonia - service or ministry.
There's no spectator level. There is no audience in the church. We are all in the ministry; we are all in the service.

2. There are some in the body uniquely gifted to service
The ministry/service in verse 7 is again the same word group diakonia, diakonos, diakoneo.
3. There are those who are called to the office of servant in the church
Deacons could be called Servants with a capital S.
It is important to recognize that deacons are deacons not because they're to do all the work, but because they're to model the proper kind of service for everyone else.
Deacons, Servants with the capital S, do whatever the pastors direct them to do.
The task of the pastor-elder is simple, win teach, train, send, repeat.
The Bible doesn't really specify the task of deacon because the task is simple. If we are to evangelize the world, and pastor-elders give some direction as to how that's to go in the local body, the deacons then implement it.
Even though deacons may not be the primary teachers in the church does not mean they are theologically ignorant.
Every church needs not only the pastoral leadership but the servant leadership.
