Sharing our Sojourn (2) (1 Timothy 5:9-16)

Paul continues with the reminder of what it means to care for the widows.  There are the young widows who might need assistance and there are the older widows who need assistance.  How is the church supposed to know who receives the assistance and who does not?  What is a way of doing this that honors the Lord?

Ordained Servants (Acts 6:1-6; 1 Timothy 3:8-13)

What is the office of deacon?   How are we to view this office, and who is qualified to serve in this office?  Is this an office that is for women, men, men and women, or just men?  How does Paul prescribe the duties for this office?
