Study Book: Acts 1-12 God's Power in Jerusalem & Judea
Scripture: Acts 4 & 5
Class Content:
By God’s grace we continued our study of the Book of Acts using the study guide – God’s Power in Jerusalem and Judea by Phyllis Le Peau.
During this bible study we focused on Acts 4:36-37 and Acts 5:1-11 discussing how Barnabas (whose name means ‘Son of Encouragement’) set the example of selling a field which belonged to him and turned in the resulting money from the sell to the apostles – an great example of sharing. This was followed by Ananias and his wife Sapphira who also sold property while pretending to give it all to the church but instead kept some for themselves, lacking honesty and lied (ultimately to the Holy Spirit) about what they had done as they wanted to be thought of as generous without paying the price. God would have nothing to do with it and surgically removed the spiritual cancer from the church by taking their lives. They had felt more concerned with their image than their relationship to God. We discussed this in detail and discussed not only the reaction of the whole church (great fear seized them) and all who heard these events, but also the high value God places on truth and unity within the body of Christ. We discussed the impact of lies today to our Christian communities è crippling Trust and Unity.
Next we will continue our study of Acts 5, starting with question 9 of our study guide found on page 24.
