Don't Play with God
This passage not just about hypocrisy
All human beings are hypocrites
My struggle
-2002 - God gave me a vision
-Based on the book of Acts
-Plant churches through small group Bible study
-Work the left side of the graph
-Discipleship and training
Preaching and the forgetting curve
Forget 80% in the first 20 min.
Discipleship happens "out there"
We need church - to assemble
A place to serve
But the discipleship happens during a shared life together
If we truly want to follow the examples in Acts, then we have to change everything we do!
Reboot
We all tend to forget why we do what we do
So why do we live but Ananias was instantly struck dead?
-Intentionally putting on a show
-Preplanned for his own glory
God made him an example
"And great fear came upon all who heard it."
v. 5
Don't play with God
Unintentional
[[1Cor.11:29-30]]
Unintentional
- They forgot the purpose of the Lord's Supper
- Coming together each sharing what he has
Paul warns them to take it very seriously
We should, too
What about Sapphira?
[[Acts 5:7-11]]
She had the opportunity to be honest and tell the truth
She maintained her lie
God knows the truth even if we try to hide it.
Lessons for us
Be honest with God
(Be honest with ourselves)
Give from a sincere heart
Take spiritual matters seriously
Next Sunday we make some changes
New place to meet
Frist Sunday of a New Year (Gregorian)
Why are we doing this?
Don't play with God
