How do we know that the apostles prioritized prayer and the Word?

Answered in 1 source

The apostles explicitly stated their commitment to prayer and the ministry of the Word, choosing to appoint others to handle the practical needs of the church.

In Acts 6, the apostles made clear that it was not right for them to neglect prayer and the ministry of the Word to serve tables. They recognized the necessity of focusing on spiritual oversight and the preaching of the gospel, which led them to delegate responsibilities to qualified men. This demonstrates a clear hierarchy of duties within the church, affirming that spiritual leadership must prioritize direct engagement with God’s Word and prayer to sustain the ministry effectively.
