Acts 2:42-47 (NIV)
The Fellowship of the Believers

42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

In this passage we have a summary of the characteristics of the early Church:

(i) It was a learning Church (verse 42)
(ii) It was a Church of fellowship (verse 42)
(iii) It was a praying Church (verse 42)

(v) It was a Church where things happened (verse 43)
(vi) It was a sharing Church (verses 44, 45)
(vii) It was a worshipping Church (verse 46)
(viii) It was a happy Church (verse 46)
(ix) It was a Church whose people others could not help liking (verse 47)
