  • Web Of Lies Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 8, 2022
     | 2,149 views

    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

    Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Mar 21, 2023
     | 2,027 views

    Today we will look at the Biblical account of Ananias and Sapphira and see what we can learn. We will discuss the need to respect Church Leadership and will minutely examine church discipline for today.

    INTRODUCTION • We will discuss the need to respect Church Leadership and will minutely examine church discipline for today. • What about the attitude, "Well, I'm anointed too…?" In the scriptural context, this was talking about "top-tier leadership." I. THEIR INITIAL ...read more

  • 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

  • Little Chunks Of Doubt

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 17, 2022
     | 1,034 views

    Often what we perceive as doubt is not really that severe. We experience times in which faith in Christ seems overwhelmingly demanding.

    We may cluck our tongues and roll our eyes at Thomas in this snippet from John’s Gospel. “How can the unanimous testimony,” we wonder, “of those who saw Jesus that Easter evening still leave Thomas, absent without leave then, in doubt of the Resurrection?” At first glance he just looks irreparably ...read more

  • Be Like Barnabas Not Like Annanias

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,630 views

    The New Testament church was an outstanding church.

    But even though the membership of this church consisted of some of the greatest Christians that ever walked on this earth. They also had some of the worst. For example, this church had two kinds of people: (1)Dedicated Christians like Barnabas. Look at Acts 4:32-37 And the multitude of them that ...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
    based on 1 rating
     | 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

  • Dangerous Bug In The Church

     | 1,905 views

    Hypocrisy! This evil in their heart did not stop them from lying!

    Dangerous bug in the church Acts 5:3 “But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land?” Beware of deception: The Bible says: Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can ...read more

  • What Are You Holding Back

    Contributed by Walter Troup on Apr 13, 2019
     | 16,722 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
