Bible Text: Romans 12:1-8 | Preacher: Todd Chipman | Series: Deacon Appreciation 2016

On his third missionary journey, Paul recognized that some tasks were so important that they needed to be administered by those recognized among the congregation (2 Corinthians 8-9; cf. Acts 6:1-7; 1 Tim 3:8-11; Rom 16:1-2)—while he generally exhorted believers to use their gifts in discipleship, fellowship, outreach and prayer (Rom 12:1-8).
