Show Notes

Jesus is THE Deacon of His Church - He calls Himself a Servant and calls all who follow Him to be servants as well.

Two key passages I want to share with you are Matthew 20:20-28 & John 13

I. Who is a servant? Spiritual leadership is Servant leadership!

1. Generally speaking - Every believer

2. Specifically speaking - Office in the Church - Prototype in Acts 6

3. Singularly speaking - Jesus Christ Himself! Matthew 20:20-28; John 13:1-17; Isaiah 42:1
