Where Are You Faking?


Listen Later

We all fake it sometimes. A little image-management here, a little hiding there—just enough to look put-together on the outside, even when something’s breaking on the inside. But in Acts 5, we meet a couple whose decision to pretend becomes the most sobering moment in the early church. Not because they sinned, but because they hid.

 

In this week’s message, Pastor Scotty Scruggs walks us through the story of Ananias and Sapphira and shows why the greatest threat to our spiritual lives isn’t what's “out there”—it’s what we keep in the dark. You’ll learn why honesty is the doorway to healing, why God takes secrecy so seriously, and the three choices that move us from managing our image to actually being transformed.

 

If you’ve ever felt pressure to look more spiritual than you are, if you’ve ever carried a secret hoping no one will notice, or if you’re tired of pretending and just want to breathe again—this message is for you.

 

Welcome to a church where everybody’s welcome, nobody’s perfect, and anything’s possible.
