The Office of Deacon with Matt Smethurst

In this episode, Tyler talks with Matt Smethurst about the office of deacon. Most every church has deacons, but what do they really do? In some churches the deacons are the defacto leaders while in other churches they serve the congregation and pastors behind the scenes. One thing we know for sure is that the Bible is clear that the church ought to have deacons, but it's of the utmost importance to know why and for what purpose.
