Sunday School Lesson
, THE CHURCH ORGANIZES
. I Timothy 3:1-13
' If a church, which is an organism,' is to function
' smoothly, properly, efficiently, and effectively in the
'achievement of the goals which the membership
deems important and necessary, it must be organized
'for that purpose Today's lesson deals with the two
: scriptural officers of a New Testament church.
; ' A Bishop I Timothy 3:1-7
; .The Greek word "episcopos," which is translated
I "bishop," means an "overseer" or "supervisor." In
; order to qualify for the office of bishop of pastor of a
' New Testament church he must have an experience of
: grace,, an assurance of salvation, a good character, an
; ability to preach, a call from God, an unquestioned
I sincerity, an eagerness to learn, a heart of compas
, sion, a life of dedication, and a willingness to sacrifice.
; If a man is to exercise oversight of a church and serve
in an effective and Christ-honoring manner, he must
J have the following qualities and qualifications.
; . ". Qualifications I Timothy 3:2-
. He must be above reproach. There must not be
; anything in his character or life which would cast a
reproach upon the cause of Christ. He must be a one
', woman man. He must not be the husband of more than
; one living wife. He must be vigilant. He must exercise
; self-control and be on guard against evil in all forms.
1 He must be sober-minded. He must avoid undue levity
; and be serious about the work of the Lord. He must be
circumspect. There must not be any inconsistency bet
: ween what he preaches and what he practices. He
; must be hospitablevHe must open his home to fellow
Christians in need of respectable lodging places. He
must be apt to teach. Teaching the Word of God is one
. of Upmost important tasks of the pastor. He must
abstain from the use of an intoxicant. He must not be
given to blows. He must control his temper and refrain
from using physical force against another. He must
. not be a lover of money. His chief goal in life must not
be the accumulation of wealth. . He must be patient.
Patience will enable him to make allowances for the
slowness of people. He must not be contentious. Christ
wants his minister to be a peacemaker. He must not be
covetous. He must govern his household well. He must
be more than a recent convert. He must have a good
reputation. Unless the pastor has the confidence of
non-Christians the church will not be effective in
leading them to Christ.
A Deacon I Timothy 1 : 8-13
The word "deacoif ' means "servant." Deaconship

is dishonored when it is regarded as a post of honor
rather than a medium of service.
.Like a pastor, a deacon must be a man of Christian
character, good reputation, genuine piety, real
wisdom, sound judgment, and exemplary deportment.
If a deacon is to set a worthy example for church
members! and wield the right kind of influence, he
must possess certain sterling qualities.
He mu$t be serious-minded. A deacon should not be
given to frivolity or to joking about spiritual matters.
He must be trustworthy. A deacon must not say one
thing to one person and something else to another
about the same subject. He must say what he means
and mean what he says, and never be
"doubletongues" or, as we would say, "tworfaced."
He must be a total abstainer. If he is going to repre
sent Christ and exercise an effective leadership in his
church, he must refrain from the use of alcoholic
beverages. He must be without covetousness. He must
be well established in the Christian faith. Unless he
believes the truth he will neither live right nor do what
he should. He must not have more than one living wife.'
A good deacon will grow as a Christian, assist in
building church attendance, care for the sick and
needy; enlist the unenlisted, greet visitors in the ser
vices, help create a good fellowship, witness to the urn
saved, and look after church finances. When he does
these things, he will have the satisfaction of doing well
his task, the appreciation of his pastor and fellow
church members, joy over having rendered helpful
service, and the blessing of God upon his work.
