Deacons and Their Ministry of Mercy (11 of 16)
Series: The Fixer

1Timothy 3: 8 - 16
I - Biblical Deacons (8 - 13)
II - Burning Desire (14)
III - Bold Demands (15)
IV - Bright Discovery (16)
This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with sub-points. In this sermon you will find very clear and concise teachings about the character and conduct of a biblical deacon. I also discuss the roll of a biblical deacon, who are very needful and pivotal for the success of a church. In reality deacons are ''God's ministers of mercy.''
Theme: ''The biblical qualifications of a deacon''

''Truthfully, I believe he's a lowdown scalawag, but you have to admit that he's very honest in business.''
''Yes, there's no getting around that; in business he's a man you can trust.''
The next day Brother Brown called on Smith again. ''You know what Jones said about you? He claims you're a fellow that really can be trusted in business, and that you're scrupulously honest.''
''You mean it?''
''Yes, I do,'' said Brown.
''Well of all things,'' replied Smith with a happy smile.
The next Sunday the former ''enemies'' nodded to each oth ...
