Acts 5 - Ananias and Sapphira No Shortage of Questions

    • Christianity

In today's episode Nick and Andy look at one of the strangest stories in the New Testament, the story of Ananias and Sapphira, who both died after giving less to the church than they said they would. 

Did God kill them, or did they die from fear? 
What impact did it have on the church? 
Should pastors use this story today to talk about stewardship? 

Other questions from today's episode:

- What is a bigger struggle, greed or pride?

- Should success be how we determine if something is of God?

Also, find out what made them ask "were the early Christians courageous or crazy?"
