Ordination Program August 30 2015 Call to Worship Reverend Yolanda Easley Praise Movement Flyte Tyme Praise New Anointed Voices Offering Ushers Introduction Deacon Mable L Lands We all have the privilege today to participate in an important event in the life of this church One of the two offices or positions that Scripture provides for the local church is that of deacon The first church in Jerusalem appointed the first seven men who were the precursors to the office of deacon Since that time in the first few years of the Christian church deacons have filled a vital role in the administration and progress of the church Today we re going to be ordaining deacon candidates Brother Michael Easley Brother Charles Guyton Brother Lyn Harlan Sister Thresa Cowan Sister Jennie Hutchings Sister Cynthia Smith The importance of this event both in the lives of these individuals and in the life of the church cannot be overstated This service Greater Calvary Bible Church in large part will serve as a charge to these individuals but is also a charge to you their brothers and sisters in Christ In order for them to serve the Lord effectively as deacons and for you to know how to pray for them we need to understand the biblical requirements for the office of deacon Scripture 1 Timothy 3 8 13Bishop Kristoffer S Lands Expectations Dr Sterling Lands II Senior Pastor You ll notice from these verses that God is far more interested in the spiritual maturity and moral character of the deacon than He is in the exact role a deacon fills within the local body of believers With that in mind let s examine what God expects from these deacons 1 The first requirement is that deacons be reverent a This is an older word that we have lost a sense of in this generation b It speaks to a life that is marked by personal dignity a seriousness of purpose and self respect in conduct c The reverent person is one who carries himself in such a way that they earn the respect of other people 2 The second requirement is to not be double tongued a To be double tongued is to talk out both sides of your mouth You tell one person one thing and the next person something else b But Jesus says in Matthew 5 37 But let your Yes be Yes and your No No c It s bad enough when Christians don t speak straight but it can be disastrous when deacons are caught being duplicitous d It can lead to dissension accusations and worse Proverbs 6 16 19 deals with this The deacon who spreads innuendo gossip and lies through an insincere tongue can do major damage to the church 3 Third the deacon is not to be given to much wine a The person called to be a deacon must be self controlled This is part of the reverence we saw earlier b He is also a model for not only those in the church but for those outside c Romans 14 21 says It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak d This goes for all believers but the deacons and elders are called specifically to mind how they think and act toward wine e To be given toward wine means that it has a hold on one s mind that it draws away one s attention

It s the same word that Paul uses in the next chapter of 1 Timothy 4 13 when he says Till I come give attention to reading to exhortation to doctrine f For the deacon alcohol should not gain his attention 4 The fourth directive concerns a deacon s attitude toward money a Paul writes that the deacon should not be greedy for money b It should never be the case that a deacon has such a love for money that it negatively impacts his integrity c And this isn t just in the church this is in all aspects of his life d Jesus says in Luke 16 13 No servant can serve two masters for either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other You cannot serve God and mammon e It s an impossibility to be an effective deacon called to a high level of spiritual service and have divided loyalties because of materialism and the love of money 5 The fifth requirement for deacons is a real faith a Verse 9 of the text states that the life of the deacon is characterized by holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience b Paul uses the word mystery often in his epistles But the mystery he speaks of is not like being in some cult or secret society where only a few know the true beliefs of the group c For Paul the mystery is the revealed revelation of Jesus Christ in the form of the gospel which has been hidden from ages and from generations but now has been revealed to His saints Colossians 1 26 d The deacon is to hold this mystery of the faith the gospel of Jesus Christ with a pure conscience e The Greeks saw conscience as something bad operating retrospectively Christians came to see conscience as being made clean through trust Its purity lay in the believer s knowledge of his standing in Christ f Having a pure conscience has two practical applications i First the qualified deacon must be a blood washed believer in Jesus Christ who has followed in believer s baptism ii Second his theology and his actions must be in line with one another He can t be living a lie spouting Scripture on one hand and living like the devil on the other His walk and his talk must match up 6 Requirement number six is that the deacon must be tested a This doesn t mean that Brothers and Sisters have to study for a year and then appear before some august board to be grilled for hours on end b In actuality the testing that they ve endured and will continue to be subject to is much harder because it takes place every day of their lives c The word we translate as tested can also mean proved or scrutinized d This is the same word Paul uses in 1 Thessalonians 5 21 Test all things hold fast what is good e The reality is that these individuals have been in the process of testing for some time They had to meet the criteria of deacon before they were recommended We see this same thing in Acts 6 1 6 which gives us the account of the selection of the seven f Verse 3 is of special note these were to be men of good reputation full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom g The people had to already know this about these individuals The examination had been going on for some time 7 The result of this testing is the seventh requirement a blameless life a This isn t speaking of sinless perfection None of us can claim that b But blamelessness refers to a life that is not burdened by accusations of impropriety c The life of the deacon is marked by freedom from charges both within the church and in the community as a whole 8 Verse 11 extends the requirements to the deacon s wife and requires four things from her a She is first called to be reverent just as her husband is What sense does it make to have a man who carries himself with dignity but his wife is generally regarded as a flake b Second she is not to be a slanderer i The Greek word here is diabolos which when used as a noun refers to the devil ii He is also known as the accuser so the reference here is to someone who goes around making false accusations about others

c She is also called upon to be temperate which means that she too should abstain from alcohol d Last she should be faithful in all things which means that she is trustworthy and reliable e These qualities are in contrast to some of the young widows in Timothy s church as Paul wrote about later in the book in 5 13 And besides they learn to be idle wandering about from house to house and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies saying things which they ought not f The deacon s wife is above all his helpmeet joined to him in marriage She can be very effective ministering with him especially to other women Her good conduct also is a testimony to his spiritual leadership 9 The lynchpin to the effectiveness of this husband wife team is the ninth requirement for the deacon which is that he is the husband of one wife a He is to be a one woman man This means that polygamists are disqualified b However the reality is that the standard is much higher It calls for total devotion absolute faithfulness and moral integrity in regards to his wife c There have been many men who became deacons and had only had one wife yet they had affairs were consumed by lust or treated their spouses harshly or with disinterest d In actuality all of these individuals were disqualified to serve as deacons e God requires deacons who love their spouses and whose marriages both publically and privately are exemplary 10 The last requirement is consistency in their homes a The qualified deacon who has children still living in his home will bring them up to honor God b We can see this in the home of Philip one of the original seven in Acts 21 8 9 Notice that the daughters were pure and that they proclaimed the Word of God c Deacons will be entrusted with many responsibilities within the church and must be counted on to perform well A man whose home is not in order will not likely do well outside his own home either Paul offers two promises in verse 13 to those who serve well as deacons d He first says that they will obtain a good standing This is how they will be viewed by the members of the church Don t take good deacons for granted folks because they are not that easy to find When a man is faithful as a deacon he should receive the honor of the church e The faithful deacon will also obtain great boldness in the faith This means that they will experience a deepening of their faith and a stronger relationship with Christ as they submit to His leadership f You can see this in the lives of both Philip who we ve already mentioned and Stephen Philip became a bold evangelist and was the first to proclaim the gospel to the Samaritans as well as to a Gentile in the person of the Ethiopian eunuch g Stephen was the first Christian martyr and the sermon he preached at his stoning was rife with the power of the Holy Spirit h So Brothers and Sisters as you serve Christ well in the office of deacon we look forward to seeing your boldness in the faith To the Candidates Bishop I Maurice Youmans Scripture is more interested in the spiritual qualifications of deacons than it is in the details of their ministry But at the core of their role is service The word for deacon is servant They are not called to control the church but to lead through service The passage from Acts 6 portrays men who care for the physical needs of the church Greater Calvary Bible Church bases its requirements for deacons on this model Will you candidates please stand As I ask you each of these questions please respond with I will 1 Will you promise that you will live your life in accordance with the New Testament and respect the standards of the Greater Calvary Bible Church 2 Will you strive to manage your home and to lead your family as the spiritual head God has called you to be 3 Will you be on the ready to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of this church body 4 Will you present yourself as necessary to comfort and counsel those in need 5 Will you seek to maintain harmony in the body and to be on the lookout for areas of conflict 6 Will you support the pastor and assist him as you are called upon

7 Will you strive to be an example both in personal integrity and in Christian witness to this congregation To the Church Bishop Richard S Lands Now to you the church You have selected these candidates as deacons and they have been examined and approved by the eldership We are in agreement that these candidates have been called to serve as deacons at Greater Calvary Bible Church As I ask you these questions please answer we will 1 Will you pray for these candidates and their families asking God to protect them and to care for them both physically and spiritually 2 Will you submit to their leadership knowing that they are called as servant leaders 3 Will you seek them for counsel when the need arises and prayerfully consider their input and suggestions 4 Will you observe their lives both as examples of Christian living and as those who would guard them from stumbling 5 Will you encourage them and their families knowing that the ministry to which they are called will bring trying times and tough situations 6 Will you direct others in the body to them in times of conflict or trouble Ordination Prayer Pastor Freddie Williams Please kneel at the altar At this time ordained elders are invited to come and lay hands on these candidates and pray for them Let us pray Prayer lead by the Pastor or his designee Declaration Senior Pastor Brothers and Sisters I want to be the first to congratulate you and to present you as the newest ordained deacons here at Greater Calvary Bible Church May God bless you as you serve him and this body of believers As we close today please come fellowship these new deacons and their spouses and encourage them as they go forward Closing prayer Deacon James Hutchings Praise Voices of Greater Calvary Message Invitation The Revered Larry D Bedford Greater Calvary Bible Church Remarks Presentations Dedication Ministry Remarks Brother Deone Wilhite Trustee Chair Remarks Benediction The Most Revered Dr Sterling Lands II Senior Pastor
