Deacon Part 1 In every church there are three groups of people – Bishops (leadership), Deacons (servants), and Saints. Each Christ follower fit into one of these three groups.

Deacon Part 2 The Greek word “diakonos” translated “deacon” is found about 30 times in the New Testament. Most of those are translated as “minister.” A deacon is a ministering servant.

Deacon Part 3. A church is to be a pillar of truth for its city. Without correct leadership this will not happen. A deacon is an attendant or a waiter. A deacon must be a proper example in the church.

Philippians 1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

Philippians 2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Wisdom from Above

17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Philippians 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Philippians 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
