ED - Presbíteros e Diáconos | Rev. Ageu Magalhães

What does the Bible require of those who lead and serve the church? In this detailed study, Rev. Ageu Magalhães explains the essential qualifications for the offices of elder and deacon, based on Acts 6, 1 Timothy 3, and Titus 1. You will learn the difference between temporary and permanent offices in the New Testament, why terms like bishop, pastor, and elder are synonymous, and what the moral, familial, and spiritual requirements are for Christian leadership. The study details the importance of being blameless, not a novice, managing one's own household well, and being approved both within and outside the community. Furthermore, it addresses the profile of the deacon as a servant of mercy, requiring diligence, financial commitment to the work, and a life of wisdom and good testimony. Video Highlights Church Offices: The difference between apostles, prophets, and evangelists (temporary offices) and the permanent offices that sustain the church today: elders and deacons. Biblical Synonyms: Biblical evidence that bishop, elder, and pastor refer to the same office of shepherding and governing. Requirements for the Eldership: The need to be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober, and apt to teach.
