Download Being a Deacon Today Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
A theological explanation and practical handbook for those preparing for a diaconate in today’s church. All too often the time spent as a deacon is seen simply as the prelude to priestly ordination. Yet the Bible defines three orders of ministry - deacon, priest, and bishop - each with its own distinctive characteristics and responsibilities. In Being A Deacon Today, Brown explores the three places where deacons minister (the church, the world, and at the margins), the three strands of their ministry (in liturgy, in pastoral care, and as catechists), and the three actions of their ministry (praying, loving, and remembering). This book, excellent for classroom use and for transitional and permanent deacons, will restore a fuller understanding of the diaconal ministry and nurture deacons in their work and spiritual life.

I have a group of dear and godly sisters called 'deaconess' in the church I'm honored to pastor, The Philadelphia Fellowship (Baptist). This Fellowship of Deaconess was without relevant guidelines, as we were assessing the leadership directives of our church. Some of them ventured out to the bookstores and even consulted our state and national conventions only to find one thinly prepared work specifically for them. To my dismay, that booklet did no more than wet their spiritual appetites.Knowing they wished for more, I have taken pen in hand, and seek in this work to broaden the available literature of this worthy ministry. The Ministry Of A Deaconess is an outgrowth of satisfying the hunger and thirst for the righteous and practical ministry on the part of the deaconess at The Philadelphia Fellowship (Baptist). Recognizing that deaconess in The Philadelphia Fellowship (Baptist) are not the only ones in a local church with that need, I trust this work will fill a void for you.The twenty-first century Church must be a biblically empowered church. The aim of this endeavor is to do just that, examine the wealth of knowledge contained in both the Old and New Testament and provide insight for faithful service. Though based in an historical/biblical review of deaconess, I felt the need to update the ministry deaconess traditionally perform. Meaningful ministry references are made to strengthen sisterhood and female empowerment. As outgrowths of these references, I am associating Deaconess as foremost leaders in Women's Ministries in the local church.This book is a pastoral gift first to the Deaconess of The Philadelphia Fellowship (Baptist), and then to all of the sisters whose hunger and thirst will be satisfied. After more than forty years in the pastoral ministry and having ministered, worked with and helped to shape ministers to be effective in their called and appointed ministries, I offer this book to the many Ministry Matrons known as Deaconess.Pastor Ronnie D.

How Can Deacons Mobilize Service in the Church? Deacons are essential to a church's health—yet confusion abounds regarding their biblical job description. What's their God-given role in a local congregation and how do they relate to the church's overall mission? In this short book, Matt Smethurst makes the case that deacons are model servants called to meet tangible needs, organize and mobilize acts of service, preserve the unity of the flock, and support the ministry of the elders. Clearing away common misconceptions, Smethurst offers practical guidance for deploying deacons and helping churches to flourish.

Download Deacon Wives Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
In describing the qualities of a church deacon, the Bible also emphasizes the traits of his companion: “Wives, too, must be worthy of respect, not slanderers, self-controlled, faithful in everything” (1 Timothy 3:11). Yet for all the traditional deacon handbooks, less prevalent are those for a deacon’s wife. This warmhearted, conversational new book from “Fresh Ideas” syndicated columnist Diana Davis shares stories and insights for deacon wives whether just inaugurated or long experienced. The reader will enjoy tips on how to best encourage her husband’s work, the ministry of the pastor and his wife, and other church staff and members. There are also helpful home and family suggestions, self-evaluation forms and checklists, and even a detailed teaching plan to share this wealth of material with other women in the church
