One of the most solemn and serious stories in the New Testament, Ananias and Sapphira stand as a great warning to Christians today. Why did God kill them? Is it a sin that some Christians are committing today? We need to make sure we understand the answer because this is obviously something God takes very seriously.

This sermon, based on Acts 5:1-11, explores the story of Ananias and Sapphira, a couple who deceitfully withheld part of their proceeds from the sale of their property, contrasting their actions with the communal sharing spirit of the early church. It emphasizes the grave consequences of misusing blessings intended for the common good, highlighting the severity of their deceit as a sin against the Holy Spirit. The sermon urges modern believers to reflect on the responsible stewardship of their blessings, warning against the pitfalls of selfishness and encouraging a commitment to honesty and communal support.
