Acts 5:1-16

Can you recall a time from your childhood when you stole something or told a lie about money or possessions?

How was the early church expressing extravagant generosity? How did Ananias and Sapphira follow those within the community, and where did they go wrong?

How did Peter confront Ananias, and then Sapphira? What did Peter reveal about the nature of the sin?

What was the consequence of the sin? What does the passage reveal about the severity of the sin in God’s eyes? In what ways do we minimize the seriousness of sin in our world?

The first-century Apostles were empowered to do many miraculous things. How did the work of God through them affect those inside and outside of the church?

In what ways can you apply this passage to your life today?
