  • An Outline Of Acts 5:1-11

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 5, 2021
     | 3,842 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

    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

     | 4,460 views

    We live in an age where people want to appear one way but, they are just the opposite of their appearance. Hypocrisy pollutes worship. The most beautiful singing, the largest gift and the most radical praise can all be done with the wrong motive.

    Sermon: The Danger of Deception Scripture: Acts 5:1-11 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath ...read more

    The focus of this sermon explores the story of Ananias and Sapphira and the various motivations to tell a lie, along with the need to stop it before it contaminates the Church and those who come in contact with it.

    Depending on where you get your news, from the newspaper, internet, or TV, you most likely have heard of this terrible virus called Ebola. It has been all over the news lately. I will be honest; I really don’t understand that much about the disease other than what I have gleaned through the ...read more

    We, as believers of God and His word, should be on the lookout for deception in the realm of religion, for we are warned about it several times in the Scriptures. And if it is such a danger, we need to know what forms of deception may be used against us and prepare ourselves.

    Sermon: The Danger of Deception Scripture: Acts 5:1-11 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

  • Sermon # 46 - Be A Wise Steward Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 182 views

    The secret to the tremendous growth of the early church was their unity and generosity. God has blessed us to be a blessing. May we be wise stewards who will use worldly wealth for godly purposes and invest for eternity.

    Today’s meditation is based on Acts 4:32, “The group of believers was one in mind and heart. None of them said that any of their belongings were their own, but they all shared with one another everything they had.” (GNB) Those of us who have been born again as children of God, and have the ...read more

    A family of Liars. They turned to be Lovers of possessions or lovers of money, Lovers of popularity or pretensions and Lovers of Positions. They are none other than Ananias and Sapphira.

    Emphasize the importance of living with integrity and honesty, as God sees through our deception and dishonesty, and there can be severe consequences for such actions.

    Good morning, Church Family! Today, we will be diving into a powerful and challenging passage from Acts 5:1-11. As we embark on this journey together, let us remember the words of A.W. Tozer, who once said, "We cannot pray in love and live in hate and still think that we are worshiping God." Here ...read more

  • Was The Early Church Socialist, Even Communist? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 13, 2021
     | 1,673 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

    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

    THE LOVE ABOVE ALL LOVES Uses of the Word Love in the world today 1. Eros (Romantic Love) - This is the love shared between a man and woman who are attracted to each other and is quite often connected with sexual behavior. 2.

  • Sermon # 4 - The Power Of The Early Church Series

     | 3,965 views

    The early church was dynamic and turned their world upside down because they possessed certain characteristics. If we want to see revival in our churches today, we too must follow their example.

    We have been considering God’s promise for His people from Act 11:21, “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.”(KJV) We will consider in detail the life of the early church, and see what we ought to do, in order for the Lord to fulfil this ...read more
