Question

The early church divided the handling of their problems into two categories. What were the categories and who addressed the problems in each category?

Answer 1

The categories that the early church divided the handling of their problems are:

1. The Ministry of the Word and Prayer
2. Serving of Food.

The following addressed each category:

1. The ministry of the word and prayer was handled by the apostles.
2. Serving of food was handled by the selected seven disciples.

This can be seen in Acts 6:1-5.

Let's explore what happened in the early church.

The early church is known to be the first church that was inaugurated after the ascension of Jesus. When the church began to expand, there was a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

This issue made the apostles to appoint seven servers that will handle the service (Acts 6:3) while they (the apostles) will concentrate on the ministry of prayer and the word of God (Acts 6:4).

This strategy was eventually accepted by the whole multitude (Acts 6:5)
