Abstract

The method used in research involved three major steps. First, the New Testament was read chronologically beginning with the Book of Acts. As a problem was discovered it was listed along with its scripture reference. The list was then arranged in tabular form to give an overview of major problems. Second, the problems dealt with by each church were divided into chapters by the different churches. Third, each problem was dealt with in order to learn the symptom(s), source(s), and solution as noted in scripture. Homiletical aids were suggested for each problem in order to facilitate their use in preaching, teaching or counseling. A valuable discovery was to note the symptoms and biblical solutions which can still be useful to local churches today. It was also found that the local churches of today face most if not all of the same types of problems. The solution to problems was found to involve basically two things: the word of God and the spirit of God.
