Podcasts about deacons

1 Timothy 3:8-16 outlines qualifications for deacons and women in church roles, emphasizing dignity, honesty, temperance, and faithfulness. Deacons must be tested, blameless, faithful in marriage, and manage their households well, earning respect and confidence through service. The women, possibly leaders, share similar standards. Paul stresses proper conduct in the church, God's household, and ends with a hymn celebrating Christ's life, proclamation, and ascension.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/lets-talk-scripture/donations

Deacons, servant leader

Welcome to an exploration of one of the most distinctive branches of Mormonism: the Strangite Church. We will discuss Strangite women's role in priesthood. While many are familiar with the larger Latter-day Saint movements, the Strangites offer a fascinating glimpse into different interpretations and practices rooted in early Restorationism. Based primarily in Burlington, Wisconsin, the Strangite Church has a rich history, unique theological perspectives, and surprising elements that set it apart. https://youtu.be/61quRH-_glI Resilient Community/Promised Refuge According to the revelations of James J. Strang, Voree was prophesied to be a refuge for the people, where "the Gentiles would treat you with kindness". Remarkably, the Strangites in Voree have never experienced the persecution that other Mormon settlements faced in places like Palmyra, Kirtland, Independence, or Nauvoo. This consistent respect and kind treatment from the wider community is seen by Strangites as a powerful sign that James A. Strang's revelations were true. Furthermore, families living there have prospered, owning homes and achieving financial stability, which they believe is a testament to the blessings promised for obedience to God. The congregation has seen periods of challenge and renewal. A spiritual movement led others to move to Voree, and gradually the church began to build up again. While the primary congregation is in Burlington, members also reside in various states, including Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida, Michigan, and Minnesota, often attending services via Zoom. Women in the Aaronic Priesthood Perhaps one of the most surprising and progressive aspects of the Strangite Church is its stance on women and the priesthood. Unlike many other Restorationist faiths, the Strangite Church ordains women to the Aaronic priesthood, specifically to the office of teacher. They believe that Emma Smith herself was the first teacher. These women teachers play an active and vital role in church services. They are permitted to lead meetings, often doing so in pairs, each taking half of the Sabbath service. While women hold the office of teacher, they are not ordained as deaconesses; deacons are exclusively boys. Priesthood ordination in the Strangite Church is not tied to age or seen as a "rite of passage.” Instead, individuals are called when a priesthood member receives inspiration that a particular person is ready and begins to excel. The Strangite priesthood structure includes: Melchizedek Priesthood: Elders and High Priests. Aaronic Priesthood: Priests, Teachers (including women), and Deacons. There are no Seventies currently, and they believe a prophet is needed to structure other offices. The leadership of the church has continued through a series of appointments. Lorenzo Hickey ordained Wingfield Watson as the head of the church and a high priest, who then served until his passing around 1920. Following Watson, subsequent presiding high priests have been appointed by their predecessors. Currently, David Flanders serves as the presiding high priest, a role of duty and responsibility to manage affairs, but not one that grants him higher authority than other high priests. Saturday Worship and the Nature of Christ A distinct practice of the Strangite Church is their worship on Saturday, the Sabbath day. This is based on their belief that God sanctified the seventh day during creation. They contend that the Catholic Church changed the Sabbath to Sunday to honor the sun god and appease pagans, aiming to unite Christians and pagans into a single universal church. Their theological views also extend to the nature of Christ. The Strangite Church believes that Jesus was 100% mortal, and that Joseph was his biological father. This belief is critical to their understanding of Christ's lineage, as Joseph was of the tribe of Judah, which connects Jesus directly to the covenant line of Abraham and King David through the ma...

2:22 - What is the difference between Deacons and Elders? / 13:22 - Should a Pastor be involved in a dispute in the church involving an Elder? / 23:33 - Should teaching be a requirement for Elders? / 42:24 - How should churches handle a member leaving the church, and how can I talk to him?

We continue in our summer worship series, The Bible and Economic Justice, with a different voice in the pulpit. Thank you to Steve Palmieri who will be the guest preacher this Sunday while Pastor Ron and I are in Ecuador. Steve has prepared a powerful reflection on how the words of Jesus invite us to consider poverty. Jesus brings good news to the poor. But what does this mean for those of us who are living comfortably in a community like Southington? Steve will lead the worship service alongside several Deacons.

The Mariners bats went cold again yesterday, a friendly reminder that this team still needs offensive help and it may seem the front office has gotten the message. Daniel Kramer reported that the Mariners are willing to add to the payroll for the right bat at the deadline and we hope they do! :30- Mariners Morning After It was a close game through 5 innings.

What the apostles of Yeshua decided to do was based off of what prophet Moses did back in his day. The leaders in a community should always carry righteous qualities and characteristics, in order to set a good example for everyone following. 

There's nothing like the NBA and NHL Finals… unless you count professional pillow fighting.  In this episode, Father Dave and Deacon Bob celebrate the end of the sports season with a rundown of the Stanley Cup, the NBA Finals, and the rise of summer's strangest athletic events, including the Pillow Fighting Championship (yes, it's real).  But the heart of the episode is hope—the kind that doesn't come from scores or summer plans, but from Christ. They reflect on the Eucharist, the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, and the graces poured out at recent conferences at Franciscan and Notre Dame. From youth ministry to marriage milestones, they explore what it means to trust God with both our spiritual and everyday needs.  Naturally, they go off on tangents, from hotel bathrobes and awkward airline announcements to anniversary shoutouts and the idea of launching a Franciscan pillow-fighting team (tentative name: the Franciscan Feathers).    Highlighted Sections  (00:00) Bathrobes, Notre Dame, and the $175 Upcharge  Deacon Bob checks in from the Morris Inn at the University of Notre Dame, complimentary robe included. He's there for Notre Dame Vision, a youth program inviting high schoolers into deeper faith. (03:30) Sports Wrap and the Rise of Pillow Fighting  From there, they pivot to sports: the Florida Panthers clinch the Stanley Cup, Oklahoma City Thunder top the Pacers in Game 7, and Canada's Stanley Cup drought continues. And just when you think sports can't get weirder—enter the Pillow Fighting Championship, now with corporate sponsorships and, apparently, rules.  (10:31) Augustine and Airport Public Shaming  Fr. Dave highlights a recent In Focus episode featuring Dr. Shane Owens, where they unpack the enduring relevance of St. Augustine's Confessions in a world increasingly shaped by AI and secular culture. The conversation quickly pivots, though, as Deacon Bob shares a less lofty moment: a painfully awkward moment from his flight to South Bend, where a bathroom break turned into a public shaming over the intercom.  (19:29) Hope as Grace: Conferences and Franciscan Honeymoon  Father Dave shares stories from the Power and Purpose Conference, themed around hope. He reflects on hope as a grace—not just good vibes or optimism—and mentions a couple who spent their 50th wedding anniversary and a couple on their honeymoon at the same event.  (23:01) Corpus Christi and the God Who Satisfies  Jesus didn't just meet spiritual needs. He fed the crowds too. Father Dave and Deacon Bob explore how our trust in God is often strong in the abstract, but wavers in daily stresses. They tie it back to Corpus Christi, Romans 5, and the gift of the Holy Spirit.  (28:34) Sacred Hearts, Summer Kickoffs, and Marriage Milestones  Deacon Bob celebrates 28 years of marriage on the same day as the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He also gives a shoutout to the kickoff of Franciscan's high school youth conferences and the ongoing Priests, Deacons, and Seminarians Retreat.  (31:10) Praying for Peace in a Complicated World  The hosts close with a prayer for peace amid global tensions, especially in the Middle East and Ukraine. They close with a reflection on Pope Leo's Angelus invitation to prayer and remind listeners that lasting peace only comes from the Heart of Christ.    Resources & Mentions  ·                     Power and Purpose Conference – A weekend of renewal, prayer, and worship through Steubenville Conferences.   ·                     Notre Dame Vision – A summer youth program helping teens hear God's call.  ·                     Romans 15:13 and Romans 5:5 – Scriptures that anchor this episode's theme of hope  ·                     Pope Leo XIV: Son of St. Augustine– Watch the latest In Focus episode with guest Dr. Shane Owens on Faith & Reason.   ·                     Pillow Fighting Championship– Yes, it's real.

No matter the size of your ministry, everyone needs people right beside you taking on some of the load. In a church context, it's even more important - and Biblical - to have deacons. But do they even know what they are supposed to do and how to do it? And even more importantly, why? Pastor Jamie McClanahan talks with us in this Not Alone episode about how they are revitalizing their church through a health deacon ministry!

The church grew in such an exponential way that there arose practical concerns and needs amongst the people in Jerusalem. The Apostles saw fit to establish what we now call Deacons to serve the most vulnerable among the Christian church. These servants become a means of the LORD's provision for His people. I. The Problem II. The Solution III. The Effect

Joining us for a two-part series on the office bearers of the Church is returning guest, Dr. Van Dam. We discuss his book, The Deacon, examining the biblical foundations for the ministry of mercy, the arguments for and against deaconesses, and how we can effectively support the work of deacons in our own churches. We hope this episode gives you a revived appreciation for the deaconry as they carry out the work of Christ amongst the needy. Be sure to check out the list of related resources below.

This Sunday we wanted to take some time and talk about deacons. We are seeking to have a man who could serve in that official office in this church. So we, the elders, thought it would be helpful to all of us to understand what a deacon is and what a deacon does.

Mike Gormley and Dave VanVickle talk about reviving the diaconate. They discuss how deacons are not just “married priests” but that they have different yet important roles. They also talk about the origin of the diaconate, how the role has evolved through the ages, and share their raw thoughts on the diaconate. Snippet from the Show “I'm grateful for the diaconate because I've always seen it as a part of the way the Church has ministered over the centuries, the way the Apostolic Church saw a need to fulfill and I think also the purpose of the Cross of Jesus Christ is to keep us in mind that our job is to be a sacrifice for other people.” We want to hear from you!

There was an original Old Deacon named Stephen. This story helped me. If we will just do what we are asked to do and do it with joy and excellence, God will honor it.

In this powerful and unforgettable service, we not only celebrated the ordination of our new Deacons, Deaconesses, and the installation of Minister Frankie Mouton, but we also received a deeply challenging word from Bishop Omar.Taking us to the Book of Genesis, Bishop unpacked the final words of Jacob to his son Reuben — his firstborn, his strength, and his might — yet Jacob declared him “unstable as water.” Through this message, Bishop dove into the dangers of instability, how it can affect our purpose, our relationships, and our legacy, and what it means to become rooted, fixed, and faithful.This is a must-hear sermon for anyone striving to grow stronger in their walk and their leadership. Listen in and be transformed.
