Duties Of Deacon

Interestingly, Paul does not explain what the duties of a deacon are. Deacon may have the meaning: minister or servant.

Servant With Voice

The deacon will earn his standing for himself. Authority needs some prove.

Prayer

Jesus, I pray for wisdom for the ministers and servants in the church.
