Acts 5:1-17
In the context of great power being on the apostles and great grace on the church, people were selling property and bringing the proceeds to the apostles.
It was a wonderful time
But the devil hates the church, and was working against it both through external persecution and internal discord.
Ananias and Sophira sold their land, but secretly kept part of the proceeds, and brought it to the apostles as if it was the whole amount.
Ananias dropped dead. Some time later Sophira came in, and continued the lie. She dropped dead.
Don’t be impressed, or ashamed, of people who appear to be more Christian than you. God sees your heart.
Many signs and wonders were performed by the apostles.
People came from all around Jerusalem, and they were all healed
The church continued to grow, but nobody dared join the sharing community
This purification of the church led to the outpouring of power by the Holy Spirit.
