Why the early church had “no needy people” - Tim Cooling - 8th March 2026

from Elim Church Glossop · host elimglossop

Why did the early church share their possessions so freely? Acts 4 describes a community where “there were no needy persons among them.” But this wasn’t forced generosity or economic idealism. Something deeper had happened. In this message we explore how God’s grace transforms the human heart, freeing people from the need to cling to possessions. When grace reshapes a community, generosity flows naturally—and people are able to both give and receive without shame.
