In Acts 4:32-37 Luke tells us the story of a church family that shares what they have freely with those who are in need. He specifically mentions one man, named Barnabas, who sold a field and gave all the money to the church.
In this teaching, Barnabas is contrasted with a couple named Ananias and Sapphira who sold a piece of property and gave part of the proceeds to the church but held back some of it for themselves and told the church that they gave it all. God struck them dead for their sin. In this teaching we examine the dangers of stinginess and hypocrisy. We are encouraged to be generous, and to not pursue earthly treasure, but treasure in heaven.
