The Church Works Together

Acts 4-5

God judged Ananias and Sapphira for lying about the gift they gave, protecting the purity of the early church.

Ananias and Sapphira's deceptive action was a sin and came not from a heart of generosity but from a heart of greed. Followers of Jesus share their resources and give generously to those in need, following the example of Jesus who gave up heavenly riches to share His inheritance with all who trust in Him.

Because God has lavished us with riches of salvation and new life in Christ, we should live in unity, being generous and honest as we reflect Christ's truth and love.

The Church Stands Firm

Acts 4

When Peter and John were arrested and warned not to preach Jesus, they responded that they could not stop proclaiming the risen Savior.

Although they were warned to stop preaching Jesus, Peter and John responded that they could not keep silent about their experiences with the risen Savior. The gospel is great news that must be shared by those who have come to believe in Jesus Christ.

Because we have experienced the great news of salvation through Jesus, we seek to tell all others about how they too can believe in Jesus and be forgiven of their sin.
