A Normal Body Has Two Legs

Shaun Kearney

The term apostolic team has recently come to the fore in the church, yet apostolic teams are as foundational in the New Testament as presbyteries. In fact apostolic teams emerged first and presbyteries second. It is interesting that the New Testament gives more attention to the work of apostolic teams than to that of presbyteries. In all four Gospels, central focus is an apostolic team led by Jesus, but the word ‘church’ occurs only twice (See Matthew 16:18; 18:17.) The book of Acts is concerned primarily with the ministries of Peter, Stephen, Philip, and Paul and Barnabas, who were either evangelists or members of apostolic teams. Very little is said in the book of Acts about what elders do. There is a good deal said about elders in the New Testament epistles, but there is still a far stronger emphasis on apostolic teams.

It is in the restoration of these two units, one mobile and one residential, that members of the Body of Christ will begin to experience true growth and mature.
