  • Two Kinds Of Appearances

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 27, 2021
     | 2,048 views

    For many today, life is all about appearances. We live in an age where people want to APPEAR one way but the reality is the opposite of their appearance.

    Illus: During the Oscars in Hollywood in 2004, the actors and actresses tried to give the impression that they cared about poverty. Listen, if they really cared about the poor as they pretend to care, instead of buying those dresses that some of the actresses paid hundreds of thousands of dollars ...read more

  • Was The Early Church Socialist, Even Communist? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 13, 2021
     | 1,621 views

    Some commentators and politicians who belong to the Superficialist School of Bible Interpretation really mess up when they say Christians should be socialists because the early Church was.

    Jesus told His disciples, "Blessed are you poor" as Luke records it, and Matthew writes "Blessed are the poor in spirit." Filled with the Holy Spirit, the early Christians, or many of them, decided to take Jesus literally. They pooled their resources, as Luke records in the Acts ...read more

  • God Loves A Cheerful Giver

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 18, 2021

     | 7,076 views

    The “tithe” is not our money; it’s God’s. When we refuse to trust the church in handling the tithe, and feel that we know the best use for it, then this is contempt for God and His Spirit, and we are treading on dangerous ground!

    I remember when my wife and I first got married that she would tell me stories about the Christian camp she attended as a child, because camp meant so much to her growing up. One of the songs they sang at camp was called, “God Loves a Cheerful Giver,” which was about Ananias and Sapphira; and I ...read more

  • An Outline Of Acts 5:1-11

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 5, 2021
     | 3,766 views

    Ananias and Sapphira sold a piece of land and gave part of the money to the apostles. But there was something not quite right about this and it became clear very quickly. This is another outline from a mini-series on Acts I preached several years ago.

    Introduction: the early church faced a significant problem: taking care of new converts and their needs. The last verses of Acts 4 describe how people sold things they owned and gave the money to the apostles to help meet these needs. Barnabas, a Levite of Cyprus, even sold a piece of land and gave ...read more

     | 3,225 views

    In Part 2 of this series, we examine two examples of individuals who reached a crossroad and had to make a decision to give it all (bacon) or to continue just giving eggs (works).

    Bacon or Eggs Part 2 Scripture: Acts 5:1-10; Second Corinthians 9:7; Matthew 10:34-39 This is part two of my series “Bacon or Eggs.” Two weeks ago in part one of this series I shared with you that there is a difference between the hen and the hog that provide the eggs and bacon we eat for ...read more

  • What Are You Holding Back

    Contributed by Walter Troup on Apr 13, 2019
     | 16,723 views

    What keeps you from giving everything to God? Check out two sets of people who were following Christ and made two different decisions about their lives, causing two different outcomes.

    This morning I want us to look at two sets of people: one set held nothing back from God, and God used them to change their world and ours too. The other set, not so much. Because they kept something back from God, their lives came to a quick end. Before we look into the lives and circumstances ...read more

    Contributed by Rick Crandall on Apr 6, 2017
     | 12,242 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).

    God Shows His Church How to Stay out of Trouble Acts 5:1-11 Sermon by Rick Crandall Grayson Baptist Church - Aug. 11, 2013 BACKGROUND: *When we looked at the early church last week, they had been severely threatened by the religious authorities in Jerusalem.

  • Is The Holy Ghost A Gentleman? Series

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Apr 11, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,838 views

    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

     | 4,917 views

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    From Harmony to Hypocrisy in the Church pt. 2 Acts 5:1-11 Last week we began looking at Acts chapter 5 and how the church, quickly, went from Harmony to Hypocrisy. We looked at #1. The problem in the church and discovered that if Satan cannot conquer the church, externally, he’ll try to ...read more

  • Lying To The Holy Spirit Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 4, 2017
     | 15,937 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

     | 61,248 views

    “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.

  • Two Views On Goodness

    Contributed by Oscar Medina on Nov 27, 2016
     | 5,582 views

    How do you determine whether something or someone is "good"? Ananias & Saphira appear to be "good" yet they weren't.

    Intro: I’ve done a little ancestry work with my siblings and in some previous travels to Cuba. We found out some interesting things; my ancestors on my Mom’s side go back to Spain in two generations, but on my Dad’s side they go back in Cuba 4 generations. Those great-great ...read more

  • Offering - What Offering?

    Contributed by Aham Igbokwe on May 31, 2015
     | 8,612 views

    Dynamics and Dimensions of Offering in New Testament context. For majority of Christians, the word 'offering' quickly invokes thoughts of money... but offering in true scriptural perspective is hardly ever about funds colection on a Sinday church service.

    Majority of Christians have been wrongly churched to be just about as materialistic as the unbelievers however this sermon isn't about money but rather targeted at attacking money-centric error with the subject matter of 'offering' and to dismantle those, in Jesus’ name. To diismantle is to ...read more
