Acts 5:1 - 5:42

ActsSteve Gregg
In this exposition on Acts 5, Steve Gregg highlights the early church's close fellowship and selfless generosity towards one another. He also emphasizes the serious consequences of spiritual hypocrisy and the importance of obedience and holiness in the eyes of God. Throughout the narrative, the apostles remain steadfast in their preaching of the gospel despite opposition and persecution, ultimately resulting in the growth and spread of the Christian movement beyond Jerusalem. The theme of trusting in God's sovereignty and seeking to live out one's faith in community remains a pertinent message for modern believers.
