My Bible Journey

Acts continues...

• Acts 5:1, Ananias...That's a cool name.
• Acts 5:3-4, Interesting that Ananias & Sapphira chose to make themselves look good and lie about their gift. Why lie? God loves a cheerful giver! And did they actually think Peter was stupid or something...here they are bringing 50g's for a piece of property that everyone knows is worth 200.
• Acts 5:5-11, WOW!! Both Ananias & Sapphira drop dead in their tracks! All because of their lies. They chose to make themselves look better instead of giving what they could & had.
• Acts 5:12-16, God was using His people to do some awesome things. All the Believers were meeting together regularly...they had a church service! When you are following God's will and doing what He has called you to do...when it's all about Jesus...your ministry will be blessed and lives will change!
• Acts 5:17-23, Tough times and opposition will always happen when God's work is being done. But God will always take care.
• Acts 5:26-42, You can't shut the Gospel up! ~Even when there is pain, persevere!
• Acts 6:1, When growth occurs people get very uncomfortable, and sometimes even disgruntle.
• Acts 6:2, Focus should be very clear!
