TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Growth of the Church

The book of Acts outlines the church’s growth after Pentecost. In the early days there was numerical growth. After Jesus’ ascension, only 120 believers were present at the first prayer meeting seeking divine direction (Acts 1:12-15). After the mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, the number of Christians increased to about 3,000 (2:41). Many more believed the preaching of Peter and John, and the number grew to about 5,000 (4:4) and continued to rise (5:14; 6:1; 9:31; 21:20).

There is also ample evidence of geographical growth (see 1:8; 9:15). The church was not confined to Jerusalem, as the message spread to Lydda, Sharon, and Joppa on the Mediterranean coast (9:32-43). The message of salvation in Christ also moved out from its Jewish base into Samaria (8:4-12), then into Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch (11:19-26). As Peter declared to Cornelius’s household, “God shows no favoritism” (10:34). The message of Good News offers peace with God through Jesus Christ to all people (10:36).

With the increase in numbers and the geographical spread of the faith, the Christian communities also experienced spiritual growth in depth and vitality. Acts 2:42-47 vividly depicts this development in the inner life of the church, featuring earnest, united prayer in crises, generous sharing of possessions, courage during persecution, and boldness in witness (4:23-31, 32-37; 5:27-33, 40-42; 16:19-25). Philip’s preaching, the manner of Stephen’s death, and Paul and Silas’s attitude in prison manifested a high standard of spiritual life and maturity (7:59-60; 8:4-40; 16:19-25). Church leaders encouraged and strengthened believers, made them more steadfast in their faith, enabled them to face persecution (14:22; 15:32, 41; 18:23; see 2 Tim 1:8; 2:1-9; 3:12), and lived by the standards they set for others (1 Cor 4:16, 20; Phil 4:9; 1 Thes 1:5-8; 2 Thes 3:9). The church’s sensitive handling of the Gentiles’ inclusion also resulted in significant spiritual (and numerical) growth: “So the churches were strengthened in their faith and grew larger every day” (Acts 16:5).
