KEY VERSE:
“And great fear seized the whole church and all who heard of these things.” Acts 5:11

FAITH STORY:
Acts 5:1-11

FAITH FOCUS:
The church in Acts practices the voluntary selling of possessions and land to give to the apostles for use for the common good of the community. Barnabas (Acts 4:36-37) is an example of this practice. Ananias and Sapphira also sell a piece of property and place the money at the feet of the apostles. They pretend that they have given all the money they received from the sale, when in truth, they only give a part of the money. Peter senses this lie, and condemns them for it. Both Ananias and his wife fall dead at Peter’s feet when they discover that Peter knows about their lie. The whole church is filled with fear when they hear what happened.
