Pastor Cole's Sermons

Pastor Cole adds verse 12 to verse 11 and ties them together in order to give a clear understanding of how the Deacon's entire household is to be qualified.

Pastor Cole moves into verse 11 and exegetes the text for a clear understanding of what it means that "their wives" or "the women" are included in this qualification.

Pastor Cole continues the study of the Office of Deacon and establishes the second category of qualification, which is found in verses 9-10 and is recognized as "Spiritual Maturity."

Pastor Cole walks through verse 8 and establishes the first qualification category of the Office of Deacon, which is Biblical Self-Government.

Pastor Cole works through an overview of the historical and Biblical understanding of the Office of Deacon, as well as challenges the diakonos in the "Standard of Church Membership" according to the text.
