The function of Deacons in the New Testament church is not as clear as the function of Pastors. We are giving limited direction of what exactly the Deacon’s role is in the church. We DO know that the role involves meeting material needs of the congregation. We also DO know that Deacons free up Pastor/Elders to do the work of spiritual rule in the church - preaching, teaching, prayer, and spiritual care. In relation to this, we DO know that the Deacon’s role does not involve the spiritual side of leadership. This week I will continue to unpack the leadership roles in the church and apply it to The Rock.
This Sunday is also communion Sunday. We will partake in the Lord’s Table together and then eat out after church together! I look forward to worshipping together this Sunday!
