What is the role of a deacon? Who can serve as a deacon? What is the difference between an elder and a deacon? There are many questions about the role of deacons in the church. Pastor Nathan walks through the qualifications of the deacons in 1 Timothy 3 to help illuminate Paul's thoughts on this important role in the church. He also takes time to discuss the controversial topic of women serving as deacons. Does the text allow for this or is this only for men?
