DEACONSHIP IS SERVANT LEADERSHIP “I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between him and every other person in the world there’s no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires, but on what did we rest the creation of our genius? Upon force! But Jesus founded his empire upon love, and at this hour millions of men would die for him!” Napoleon Bonaparte

DEACONSHIP IS SERVANT LEADERSHIP Mark 10:43b But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

DEACONSHIP IS SERIOUS LEADERSHIP 12 Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well. 13 For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and also great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
