    Lying To The Holy Spirit Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 4, 2017
     | 15,778 views

    If God killed every Christian who lied, the churches would be empty. This does not excuse lying, but it does acknowledge our fallibility. The message is a study of one couple that attempted to deceive God and what He did about their deceit.

    “A man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, and with his wife’s knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, ‘Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit ...read more

    “His wife also being privy to it . . .” tells us that this was not a sin committed on the spur of the moment. Ananias and his wife had talked it over between themselves and agreed to do it; they planned what they would say to cover up this fraud.

     | 12,171 views

    God shows us that: 1. Satan has a strategy (vs. 1-3). 2. Our integrity is important (vs. 3-4). 3. Our sin is serious (vs. 5-10). 4. We should grow in godly fear (vs. 5 & 11). 5. We must lean on God's leadership (vs. 3-4).

    Does the Holy Spirit act contrary to our will? Is He just the suggester-in-chief?

    Is the Holy Ghost a Gentleman? Acts 5:1-11 I don’t know how often I have heard that the Holy Ghost is a gentleman. It is often assumed that the Holy Ghost will not force His way on anyone. I use the older term Holy Ghost rather than the newer use of the Holy spirit because “ghost” comes from the ...read more

     | 5,115 views

    Some things are so surprising they simply shock us. The early church has many such surprises and shocks, one of the biggest of which concerned the generosity of two of her members.

    “Treasuring God’s Holiness” Acts 5:1-11 Some things are so surprising they just simply shock us. The team with the huge lead falls apart in the closing moments and loses. The golfer with only an easy, short birdie putt between himself and the championship, winds up with a double ...read more

     | 10,904 views

    Many love the Lord but do not have the fear of the Lord in their heart. They take God for granted and treat Him with contempt. We need to honour Him with reverence and respect.

    The church was enjoying the presence of the Lord, since Pentecost. • Acts 4:32-35 says all the believers were one in heart and mind. They shared everything they had. Needs were met. The apostles continued to preach with great power. The church was doing well. Acts 4:36-37 Joseph, a Levite ...read more

    The Man Who Dropped Dead In Church

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 13, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,815 views

    God would rather have a small church that is pure than a large church whose commitment is watered down. With electricity, the larger the connection(wire), the more power can flow through it. This is true of the purity of the church.

    THE MAN WHO DROPPED DEAD IN CHURCH Acts 5:1-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Neither Necessary 1. A pastor once met an old schoolmate and finding him a judge of good standing congratulated him upon his success in life.

     | 4,071 views

    Acts 5 gives us two cases where the church faced hardship. One was internal and the other was external. Both were used by God for the good of the church. How can that happen for us today?

    (Read Acts 5 with slides) What does it take to ruin a church? What does it take to stop God? Acts 5 gives us two stories about threats to the church, one from the inside and the other from the outside. First. The threat from the inside produced two deaths and great fear upon the whole ...read more

    Who Is The Holy Spirit? Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 14, 2013
     | 6,972 views

    There are many different views in the religious world about who/what the Holy Spirit is. Some believe the Holy Spirit is an impersonal force while others believe He is a personal being and God. What do the scriptures say?

    These lessons on the Holy Spirit of God are meant to just “whet your appetite.” I am attempting to condense a good bit of what we see mentioned about the Holy Spirit into 4 lessons. This series could very easily be expanded into 15-20 lessons, if not more. I pray that these lessons will ...read more

    The Plot That Went To Rot

     | 3,918 views

    Why do christians get caught up in spiritual competition? It usually leads to hypocrisy and many times ends up even worse. Take a deeper look at this matter that is a revival stopper or a revival maker.
