4 Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight— That You may be found just when You speak, And blameless when You judge. 3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the…

The account of Ananias and Sapphira is shocking to us. Is the church built on a foundation of blood? What was God thinking? How does this show his grace? Let's wrestle with these difficult questions as we look at this passage in Acts 5.

Intro: The first person to sit with me at church (Layton and Max) We left off at a place where the mission of hate and persecution was running rampant against the church.

When your outward appearance is not in line with your inward appearance don't think that this won't find you out. It either already has and you are oblivious to it, or it is on its way to finding you out. I want to be very clear about this... Sickness and death do not always result from sin, but God reserves the right to deal with sin in His church, even to the strongest possible penalty. Today we are going to look at two questions.
