Deacons--An Office of Dignity

Using 1 Timothy 3:8-12 as an outline, this lesson explores the qualifications for deacons and their office of dignity.   Paul, the Apostle, provides a detailed list of the attributes men who desire to be deacons must exhibit. This lesson discusses the following points: 1) Deacon is a God given title of dignity, 2) nine spiritual qualifications of a deacon, and 3) two rewards for men of dignity.  The lesson concludes with the installment of 3 new deacons serving the Linder congregation and with the invitation to follow Jesus and respond to his message.
