Pastor Troy's message from Acts 5:1–11 tells how Ananias and Sapphira pretended to be fully generous while secretly holding back, leading God to judge their hypocrisy in a dramatic and immediate way. Their deaths brought a deep sense of awe and reverence to the early church, reminding everyone that God cares about honesty, purity, and the condition of the heart, not appearances. Pastor Troy emphasized that while this passage is sobering, it’s meant to purify believers, not terrify them, and to call us toward authenticity, integrity, and a worshipful fear that draws us closer to God.
