E. Context
a. Paul says:
Ro 6;
1.
The gifts exist 2 empower the individuals o the church 2 function 2gether as Jesus’ body as a whole
i. ea.
o us r intricately connected to 1another
-& so, though ea.
o us function diff.
w/diff.
gifts according 1’s calling we r all moving 2gether as 1 body
-& that is what unity looks like practically
ii.
We r, when functioning 2gether in unity, Jesus’ representative on earth
2. Furthermore, If u’ve been called, use the gifts God has given u!
i.
I wanna make it abundantly clear: “if God has called u in2 a min.
(& he has) he wants 2 equip u 4 that min!
-Hence grace gifts
*Ea.
o us must b baptized in the H.S. & using God’s gifts in accordance w/the Grace given us by the H.S.
*Paul says “Let us Use ‘em”!
~Yes, when we’re gathered 2gether on Sunday…But even more when we r out in the midst o this fallen world

BODY
A. Spiritual Gift of Service
a. Service defined as waiting on/taking care o the practical needs o people & the church (diakoneo)
1. literally servant
b. a Few yrs later we c this word as the root o which Paul uses in...
1. Deacon is derived frm the word servant/service
i. thus “serve” is also translated deacon
ii.
we see it used 1st in Acts 6… (describe scene b4 reading vs)
acts 6:2-3
iii. the word “serve” in the phrase “serve tables” is the same word used in our main text “if service in serving”
-I want 2 encourage u that the apostles didn’t consider themselves 2 spiritual 4 such things as practical ministry (we’re called 2 b humble…right?)
*in-fact...
c.
The Deacon ministry is practical service by spiritual people
1. Remember the requirements of folks who served as deacons; what were they?
i. good reputation, full o the spirit & wisdom
ii.
The deacon position IS A spiritual position & gift…just not the Apostles’ spiritual position
2. & Paul describes the spiritual gift in supernatural terms
So what is the ministry gift of deacon?
i.
In our text 2 the Romans, Paul places Service right along side prophecy!
-Thus the gift o serving is a supernatural gift 2 serve in practical matters
-The apostles in acts appoint 7 folks 2 the duty (literally Business)
*They r spiritual men appointed & empowered supernaturally 2 the practical business o the church
-The spiritual gift o service is the supernatural gift of humbly getting ur hands dirty 4 Jesus
*& the official title is Deacon
d.
Paul says “if service (the gift) in our serving...”
1.
He means that deacons r supernaturally empowered to serve & so, should use this grace in accordance w/ its true nature.

769).

B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.. Kindle Edition.
i. What’s the nature of the gift of service? - Jesus said in...
-putting others above urself…dying 2 urself on behalf o others is the action o the spiritual gift…it’s true nature
ii.
Jesus isn’t specifically talking about the deacon ministry, but...
-it’s clear that because o Paul’s use o the word in Ro & 1 Tim, the mentality o the deacon must b:
