In this sermon the three reasons for the early church to be a learning church were discussed:
- They had a teacher who was not teaching from their knowledge, but teaching from what they experienced in their walk with the Lord Jesus Christ
- The believers repented, were baptized and anointed. An unbeliever cannot learn God's Word, that doesn't mean anything to him
- They just started believing in the resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ

Early church was a united church (breaking of bread & prayer, one mind and one accord).
One who decides to lose things and even his life for the sake of Christ will no way harm the unity of the church.
This is what is needed in churches today:
No leadership seminars
No settlements & peace talks
No committees for compromise & reconciliation
No transfer of pastors
No division among churches

We read in Acts 2:44-45, Acts 4:32: The early church was a sharing church. They enjoyed everything in common.
You may say that how was it possible not to own anything, instead selling all their property and sharing with other? But the Bible says, that’s how it happened in the early church.
You may say that the church can be a learning church, it can be a united church and even we can stay in prayer and fasting so that miracles can happen. But how do you expect us to sell all that we possess and distribute it to everyone? Today people are willing to write the will on their property once they know they are going to die, not when they are alive.

The early church was a giving church.
- No one asked them to give (spontaneous giving)
- They got the revelation of giving and God blessed those who obeyed.(revelation driven giving)
- Giving increased their bank balance in the heaven. (eternal giving)
We can't take the money or cheque to heaven, but we can start depositing in heaven by giving to God. If any of us feel that we don't give enough to God, you should start giving to God.

Jesus said in Luke 18:8 when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” We are living in a generation where we hardly find faith. So we cannot expect faith in God to bring the fear of God. What brings fear of God to this faithless generation? It is the supernatural power of God.
The early church was a God fearing church and the fear of God came upon the church as the believers started seeing supernatural things by the hands of the apostles.

The early church was a growing church.
- The growth of a church can't be just measured by the number of people attending the church.
- The growth of a church can't be measured by the size of the building.
- The growth of a church can't be measured by looking at the balance sheet or the income it is capable of generating.
- The growth of a church can't be measured by knowing how much they spend out for the community development program, it need not be a church to do so.
