Acts Ch. 5 // Life Church of San Antonio

In this exploration of Acts 4-5, we're confronted with the stark contrast between genuine faith and hypocrisy. The story of Ananias and Sapphira serves as a sobering reminder of God's seriousness towards sin, especially within the church. We're challenged to examine our own hearts and motives, recognizing that hypocrisy isn't just about lying to others, but also about deceiving ourselves. The message urges us to embrace authenticity in our faith journey, reminding us that we're all imperfect beings in need of God's grace. It's a call to preach the gospel to ourselves daily, to seek godly accountability, and to be honest about our struggles. This teaching encourages us to create a church culture where it's safe to be vulnerable, where we can openly discuss our doubts and failures, and where we support each other in growth and transformation.
