11/09/2008 – 1 Timothy 3:8-16 – "Leaders Worth Following - Deacons (part 2) - Deacons." From the series: "Watch Your Step: A Study through First Timothy."

In the New Testament - and here in the letter of 1 Timothy - we see alongside the Elder another official role of church leadership. A role of equal importance but different function - the role of Deacon.

The Greek diakonos that we translate here as Deacon is translated elsewhere in the New Testament literally as servant or minister.

So who are these servant leaders? What is their role in the church? How do they function alongside the elders?

And most personally, how should they all function today in 2008, here at Chestnut Street Baptist Church?
