Our journey in “THE CHURCH IN ACTION” continued through the book of Acts with a message on How to Move from Owner of What’s Mine to Giver of What’s His, part 16 – Hold Everything in Common, Leaving No Needy Person Among You (ACTS 4:32-37).

*PRAISE SONGS for this SUNDAY! – Practice them and be ready to sing them on Sunday morning. Praise on, brothers and sisters! (1) Holy Forever; (2) Bless God; (3) Undivided Heart *THIS SUNDAY’S BREAKOUT DISCUSSION GROUPS after-service in the gymnasium cafeteria – This Sunday, spend some time in your group tables and share the life of the preached Word. Pre-read, think through, and share this spiritual food in discussion with one another! “Tell the Whole Truth and Give Your Whole Self to the Holy Spirit” (ACTS 5:1-11). (1.) [v.1-6] Like Barnabas did earlier, Ananias and his wife Sapphira wanted to sell their property too and give all the proceeds to the apostles. However, unlike Barnabas did, how differently did they go about doing this (v.1-2)? By doing this, who did they lie to (v.3-4)? What happened to Ananias – the husband – when his scheme was uncovered (v.5-6)? How am I “keeping back” what the Holy Spirit is asking to be giving all? By doing so, how am I appearing Christlike, when I am really not? By being dishonest with myself, who am I really lying to? How can I fear God instead of fear being uncovered/exposed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2.) [v.7-8] Like her husband Ananias did, what did Sapphira claim when asked about the price of the land that was sold (v.7-8)? How am I saying “yes” when I should really be saying “no”? Like He did to Sapphira, how is the Holy Spirit giving me a second chance to be honest before Him? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3.) [v.9-11] According to Peter, what was Ananias and Sapphira doing to the Spirit of the Lord (v.9)? When confronted with the truth, what happens to Sapphira, just as what happened to her husband Ananias (v.10)? What came upon the whole church who heard these things (v.11)? How am I testing the Spirit of the Lord by keeping back what I should be giving all – my heart, my resources, my giving, my time, my love? Am I more fearful of being discovered by people or by God who can instantly demand my life back? *UPCOMING (*notice some dates may have changed) –
*UPCOMING HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU FROM OUR HOSANNA FAMILY! We celebrate you and love you in Christ so much! (*Let us know if we missed your birthday! We sincerely apologize) –
