What should leadership look like in the Body of Christ? How do the positions of Deacon and Elder (Bishop) compare to and work with the "Five-Fold" or Ascension Gifts?
Two special ways of serving in a local church are elders and deacons. Elders are to shepherd the flock, providing protection, nourishment, and leading the flock. They care for the spiritual needs of the saints. The deacons are servants who meet the physical needs of the saints.
This might help you to inform your mates about the sacrament of holy orders. This might be more efficient to be your report and it'll impress your teacher. If you'll like this, a big hand for you. God Bless you more! <3

Cascades Bible Church Sermon Notes | 9-30-12Brent Small
In this sermon on Titus 1:5, Pastor Brent establishes three “pastoral directives” as delivered by Paul to Titus that enable the local church to develop godly leadership.
After visiting the churches on the island of Crete, Paul left behind his ministry partner Titus to further develop these young churches. Paul assigned Titus the task of establishing sound doctrine and godly living in the churches so that they would then possess credible Christian testimonies.
If this mission was to be accomplished Titus had much work to do. In fact Paul tells Titus that he must correct what was lacking, namely, godly leadership. Titus, himself, was to instruct the churches in sound doctrine, model behavior that was in accordance with that doctrine and appoint godly men who could do the same.
The need of the church on Crete was godly men. The need of the local church today is godly men. In this message, Pastor Brent begins a short mini-series on the need for godly men to lead the local church by establishing three “pastoral perspectives” given to Titus by Paul.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. Ephesians 4:11-12 - Now
these are the gifts Christ
gave to the church: the
apostles, the prophets, the
evangelists, and the pastors
and teachers. 12Their
responsibility is to equip
God’s people to do his work
and build up the church, the
body of Christ. NLT
3. 1 Corinthians 12:28 - Here
are some of the parts God
has appointed for the
church: first are
apostles, second are
prophets, third are
teachers, … NLT
4. 2 Timothy 4:2-4 - Preach the
word of God. Be
prepared, whether the time
is favorable or not. Patiently
correct, rebuke, and
encourage your people with
good teaching. 3For a time is
coming when people will no
longer listen to sound and
wholesome teaching.
5. They will follow their own
desires and will look for
teachers who will tell them
whatever their itching ears
want to hear. 4They will
reject the truth and chase
after myths. NLT
6. Hebrews 10:24-25 – Let us
think of ways to motivate
one another to acts of love
and good works. 25And let
us not neglect our meeting
together, as some people
do, but encourage one
another, especially now
that the day of his return is
drawing near. NLT
7. Hebrews 3:12-13 – Be careful
then, dear brothers and
sisters. Make sure that your
own hearts are not evil and
unbelieving, turning you away
from the living God. 13You
must warn each other every
day, while it is still “today,”
so that none of you will be
deceived by sin and hardened
against God. NLT
8. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 - All
Scripture is breathed out
by God and profitable for
teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training
in righteousness, 17that the
man of God may be
competent, equipped for
every good work. ESV
9. 1 Peter 5:1-3 - So I exhort
the elders among you, as
a fellow elder and a
witness of the sufferings
of Christ, as well as a
partaker in the glory that
is going to be revealed:
10. 2shepherd the flock of God
that is among
you, exercising
oversight, not under
compulsion, but willingly, as
God would have you; not for
shameful gain, but eagerly;
3not domineering over those
in your charge, but being
examples to the flock. ESV
11. 1 Timothy 5:17 - Elders who
do their work well should
be respected and paid
well, especially those who
work hard at both preaching
and teaching. NLT
14. Qualifications
Elders – 1 Timothy 3:1-7 & Titus 1:6
Deacons – 1 Timothy 3:8-13
Character– identical (Godliness)
Competences– An Elder
needs to be able to teach
& be hospitable
15. Acts 6:1-4 - But as the
believers rapidly
multiplied, there were
rumblings of discontent. The
Greek-speaking believers
complained about the
Hebrew-speaking
believers, saying that their
widows were being
discriminated against in the
16. 2So the Twelve called a
meeting of all the believers.
They said, “We apostles
should spend our time
teaching the word of
God, not running a food
program. 3And
so, brothers, select seven
men who are well respected
and are full of the Spirit and
17. We will give them this
responsibility. 4 Then we
apostles can spend our
time in prayer and
teaching the word.” NLT
18. Deaconess
Romans 16:1 – I commend
to you our sister
Phoebe, who is a deacon
(diakonos) in the church in
Cenchrea. NLT
19. There are no functional
activities listed in the NT
for either a Deacon or
Deaconess.
20. But what is described in
Acts 6:1-4 and the character
qualities listed in 1 Timothy
for a Deacon certainly fit one
who is involved with
administrative responsibilities
and monetary oversight.
21. In the NT the office of
Deacon consisted of women
exercising similar roles to
the male Deacons.
22. Good Deacons Will Be Rewarded
1 Timothy 3:13 - Those who
do well as deacons will be
rewarded with respect from
others and will have
increased confidence in their
faith in Christ Jesus. NLT
23. Both Elders & Deacons are
called to lead God’s church
as Servants.
Both have the same
required Holy standards of
living (1 Tim 3:8-13; 1 Tim 3:2;
Titus 1:9).
24. Elders > Live Godly Lives > Lead
> Teach > Guide > Discipline
> Be Hospitable > Shepherd
Deacons > Administrative
activities > Distributing
Money to Widows, Orphans
and the Poor > Without the
requirements of Teaching
and Hospitality
25. Acts 14:23 – “And when
they had appointed elders
for them in every
church, having prayed with
fasting, they commended
them to the Lord in whom
they had believed.” ESV
26. Acts 20:17 – But when we
landed at Miletus, he sent a
message to the elders of
the church at
Ephesus, asking them to
come and meet him. NLT
27. Hebrews 13:17 – Obey your
spiritual leaders, and do
what they say. Their work
is to watch over your
souls, and they are
accountable to God. Give
them reason to do this with
joy and not with sorrow.
That would certainly not be
for your benefit. NLT
