Unified or Compromised | Spirit, Power & The Church
Unified or Compromised | Spirit, Power & The Church
In this message from Acts 4:32–5:11, we’re reminded that opposition to the gospel doesn't always come from the outside. Sometimes, it starts within. We look at how the early church responded with unity, integrity, boldness, and radical generosity. And how one couple’s dishonesty became a cautionary tale for all believers.
You’ll be challenged to evaluate your own heart, ask what you’re truly surrendered to, and reflect on what it means to be unified with Christ and His church.
5 Key Insights:
• Real church unity isn’t just about showing up—it’s about aligning your heart with God's mission.
• Satan doesn’t just attack from the outside. He also works through division, dishonesty, and distraction inside the church.
• When believers are unified in mission and spirit, the gospel spreads and lives are changed.
• Radical generosity is a result of spiritual unity, not a requirement for it.
• Living with integrity and reverence for God protects us from becoming spiritually compromised.
Scripture: Acts 4 & Acts 5
Speaker: Matt Petty
