The Text in Context
1. The Bible is different.
2. What's the big deal?
3. The church
4. Lying to God
5. Honesty within the church.
1. Spend some time in reflection. In what ways have you not been honest with others? With yourself?
2. Confess these to God, knowing that God is quick to forgive.
3. Choose one way in which you haven't been honest with others and repent. If appropriate, confess to someone else.
1. What was the specific sin committed by Ananias and Sapphira and why was it considered so serious in the early church?
2. How does their story illustrate the importance of honesty and integrity in Christian community today?
3. Ananias' and Sapphira's swift judgement seems severe. How does this story challenge our understanding of God's justice and mercy?
4. Acts 5:5 and 5:11 mention fear gripping the whole church and those who heard about these events. What role does fear play in the life of a believer, according to this passage? How should reverence for God's holiness and truth affect our conduct within the church community and in our daily lives?
5. How does this story inform our understanding of stewardship and generosity in the Christian faith? What principles should guide our attitudes towards material possessions and giving?
6. How can we place "honesty" more front and center as a value?
