Andy Arnold dives into the heart of biblical leadership, specifically unpacking the crucial but often misunderstood role of deacons within the church. Drawing from 1 Corinthians and Acts 6, Andy reveals how God uniquely empowers each believer through spiritual gifts to serve, lead, and transform their communities.
If you’ve ever wondered what a deacon really does, how servant leadership differs from worldly leadership, or how to effectively use your God-given gifts without burning out, this sermon provides clear biblical insights and practical wisdom. Andy challenges the notion of passive Christianity, reminding us there are no spectators in God’s Kingdom—everyone has a vital part to play.

• Why servant leadership isn’t about status or titles, but humility and service (1 Corinthians 12)
• How God chooses and empowers ordinary, weak people to achieve extraordinary things (1 Corinthians 1:26-27)
• Practical guidance for leading with love rather than domination or control (1 Corinthians 13)
Whether you’re in church leadership, interested in becoming a deacon, or simply curious about how to actively serve within your local church, this sermon will equip, challenge, and inspire you.
