Deacons

How They Serve and Strengthen the Church

By: Matt Smethurst

Narrated by: Bob Souer

How can deacons mobilize service in the Church?

Deacons are essential to a church’s health — yet confusion abounds regarding their biblical job description. What’s their God-given role in a local congregation and how do they relate to the church’s overall mission?

In this short audiobook, Matt Smethurst makes the case that deacons are model servants called to meet tangible needs, organize and mobilize acts of service, preserve the unity of the flock, and support the ministry of the elders. Clearing away common misconceptions, Smethurst offers practical guidance for deploying deacons and helping churches to flourish.

Encouraging

This was an excellent treatment on the subject of Biblical deacons. I appreciated the dependence on Scripture and the wise and practical applications toward ministry.

excellent audiobook to pair with an excellent tutorial on deacons

if you don't have time to read a tiny book, or you just don't like reading actual books, no judgment. I'm with you.

this book is an excellent companion with the physical book. so good. is this audiobook, that I went to buy the physical book because of it for reference.

this is an amazing book on what deacons are, how deacons can be formed or act or interact, and how deacons should not run. I highly recommend it. it has been extremely helpful.
