Lessons from the Early Church in Acts

Trace the explosive growth of the early church through the book of Acts — from Pentecost to Paul’s missionary journeys — and what it means for the church today.

  1. Power From On High

    The Holy Spirit's arrival
    Acts 1:1-11, 2:1-13
    Main Point

    The church wasn't born from a strategy meeting — it was born from the power of the Holy Spirit.

  2. Devoted Together

    Community and devotion
    Acts 2:42-47
    Main Point

    The early church grew not because of programs, but because of genuine devotion to God and each other.

  3. Bold in the Face of Opposition

    Courage under pressure
    Acts 4:1-31
    Main Point

    When the church prayed for boldness instead of comfort, everything changed.

  4. Growing Pains

    Healthy leadership and delegation
    Acts 6:1-7
    Main Point

    Healthy churches don't avoid conflict — they address it with wisdom, humility, and structure.

  5. Acts 10:1-48
    Main Point

    God is always bigger than our categories — and His church is for everyone.

  6. Sent Out

    Mission and calling
    Acts 13:1-12
    Main Point

    The church exists not for itself but to be sent — worship and mission are inseparable.
