2026 September 20 Church Service

In this 17th anniversary Sunday sermon, Pastor Jim preaches from 1st Timothy 3:8-15, examining the qualifications and calling of deacons. Drawing on Matthew 20, Philippians 2, and Isaiah 53, he argues that service is the most Christ-like act in Scripture and that we are saved in order that good works might flow from us, not the reverse. The takeaway: those who serve well as deacons, following Christ the suffering servant, obtain a high standing and great confidence in the faith, and the church remains the pillar and support of truth.
