What does it look like to live in unity?

Text: Acts 4:32-5:11

This lesson starts with this beautiful picture of unity, where nobody wanted because everyone cared for one another. People were sacrificing their own property so that others might have what they need.

Then we meet Ananias and Sapphire, and something shifts within them. At first glance, it almost seems as though there's a sense of severity and cruelty in the church. But if we read the text carefully, we realize that the couple has rebelled against God and is hard-hearted.

As we read this passage carefully, it shows how we live together and how sin can easily shatter that life. This passage invites us to be dependent upon the Holy Spirit, quick to repent, and wholeheartedly focused on glorifying God with our lives.
