WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.840
 Well, good morning. It's good to see all of you.

00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:05.660
 For those of you who don't know, I'm Pastor Andrew. I'm the lead pastor here.

00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:08.700
 It's good to have all of you with us today.

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:14.820
 Those of you who've been around for the past several weeks will know that we're in the book of Acts.

00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:22.320
 Those of you who have been with us since the beginning of this year will know that we have kind of been in the book of Acts ever since January.

00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.019
 But here we are in chapter 5, the very beginning of chapter 5.

00:00:27.019 --> 00:00:31.920
 I would encourage you, if you have your Bibles this morning, to turn with me to Acts chapter 5.

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:36.200
 It's on page 913 if you're using our pew Bible.

00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:44.159
 We're not told how much time has elapsed, but we know that this is a burgeoning church movement.

00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:49.980
 This is the beginning of God's work among a group of individuals who He's leading to salvation.

00:00:50.500 --> 00:00:56.340
 He's drawing out from among His people and setting His affection on them.

00:00:56.340 --> 00:01:04.920
 And because of His work, the work of the Spirit among them, it's creating this movement of individuals.

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:09.219
 It's clear that they are devoted to Christ.

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:17.120
 We find in chapter 2, verses 42 to 47, they're devoted to the apostles' teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of the bread, and to prayers.

00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.900
 That this is a church where everything has changed for them.

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:24.079
 And it's so abundantly clear.

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:31.700
 The Holy Spirit is shaping them and transforming them and making them a new kind of people.

00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:40.280
 It's not unlike moving back to the beginning of Israel's history.

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.260
 Another movement that was taking place.

00:01:43.540 --> 00:01:47.040
 And Israel is there in Exodus.

00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.159
 And they've been in the land of Egypt.

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:52.599
 They've been kind of captives there.

00:01:53.180 --> 00:01:54.700
 God has called them out.

00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:56.719
 And for 40 years, they have waited.

00:01:57.420 --> 00:01:59.079
 They've waited for a fulfillment of the promise.

00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:05.840
 And just as they're about to enter the land, something significant begins to happen.

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.000
 God consecrates His people.

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:16.920
 A generation of individuals, a generation of those who were part of the covenant community have died.

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:18.500
 They have died off.

00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:20.879
 Their children are now in place.

00:02:21.379 --> 00:02:22.460
 They are there at Gilgal.

00:02:22.980 --> 00:02:24.520
 They've just crossed the Jordan River.

00:02:25.219 --> 00:02:26.599
 They've celebrated the Passover.

00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:31.319
 The men have circumcised themselves to set themselves apart.

00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.500
 And now they're looking at their first objective.

00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:37.000
 The objective of Jericho.

00:02:38.379 --> 00:02:39.719
 They need God's power.

00:02:40.699 --> 00:02:42.219
 They need God's word.

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:43.460
 They need God's help.

00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:46.520
 The evidence of God's working among them.

00:02:47.419 --> 00:02:48.939
 Everything is new.

00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:50.599
 A new generation.

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:51.680
 A new leader.

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:52.979
 A new land.

00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:53.759
 A new beginning.

00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:56.319
 And here they are in Jericho.

00:02:57.740 --> 00:02:59.340
 Called to be devoted to the Lord.

00:03:00.180 --> 00:03:01.719
 God gives them some instructions.

00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:06.300
 He tells this group of individuals as they're about to take Jericho.

00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:08.740
 This is the city for me.

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.199
 You are to devote this city to me.

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.419
 So everything that was in the city belonged to God.

00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:15.599
 Devoted to Him.

00:03:16.419 --> 00:03:20.840
 This seemingly impregnable city was then destroyed.

00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:27.000
 And God allowed them to destroy the city by simply walking around the city.

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.360
 It was an evidence of God's incredible power.

00:03:31.419 --> 00:03:32.919
 After 40 years in the wilderness.

00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:37.819
 They had now experienced the taste of God's work among them.

00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.479
 And imagine how they must have felt.

00:03:41.180 --> 00:03:42.099
 Having experienced.

00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:43.080
 God is here.

00:03:43.379 --> 00:03:44.259
 God is working.

00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.020
 God's power is evident.

00:03:46.020 --> 00:03:50.259
 It's just demonstrated that He can take care of these obstacles.

00:03:50.259 --> 00:03:52.519
 And so the people.

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.639
 Now seeing the next obstacle.

00:03:55.259 --> 00:03:57.039
 A small city named Ai.

00:03:57.679 --> 00:03:58.159
 Decide.

00:03:58.259 --> 00:03:58.620
 You know what?

00:03:58.939 --> 00:04:00.139
 We've got this handled.

00:04:00.699 --> 00:04:02.459
 I think we can take care of business.

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:04.859
 So they just send 3,000 men.

00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:07.879
 And in confidence they go to try to defeat Ai.

00:04:08.099 --> 00:04:08.379
 And yet.

00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:09.780
 You know the story.

00:04:09.979 --> 00:04:10.560
 What happens?

00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:11.819
 They turn and run.

00:04:12.959 --> 00:04:14.759
 It wasn't Jericho.

00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:18.039
 And there was something that has happened now.

00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:24.600
 Joshua is devastated at the destruction that's happening among his people.

00:04:25.420 --> 00:04:28.100
 He's devastated at the fact that they got conquered.

00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.920
 That 36 of these men had died.

00:04:33.420 --> 00:04:34.580
 He praised the Lord.

00:04:34.700 --> 00:04:35.620
 He tears his robe.

00:04:36.460 --> 00:04:37.320
 And God says to him.

00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:38.360
 Get up Joshua.

00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.759
 He tells Joshua that Israel has sinned.

00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:45.800
 Someone has taken what belonged to God.

00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.139
 Someone has stolen.

00:04:48.460 --> 00:04:49.960
 Somebody has lied.

00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:53.960
 Someone has taken these consecrated things.

00:04:54.280 --> 00:04:55.800
 That were devoted to destruction.

00:04:56.660 --> 00:04:58.560
 And taken them to himself.

00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:00.480
 A search is made.

00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.480
 Eventually the search narrows in on a man named Achan and his family.

00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:08.920
 Achan finally admits what he has done.

00:05:09.620 --> 00:05:11.699
 He had seen a beautiful cloak from Shinar.

00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:12.620
 He wanted it.

00:05:13.080 --> 00:05:14.980
 He had seen 200 shekels of silver.

00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:19.080
 He had seen a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels.

00:05:19.200 --> 00:05:20.180
 He wanted it.

00:05:20.780 --> 00:05:21.520
 He took it.

00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.340
 He buried it.

00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:26.840
 Nobody saw what Achan did.

00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:28.080
 But God saw.

00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:30.920
 And the judgment that followed.

00:05:31.259 --> 00:05:35.220
 The judgment that followed Achan and his family was severe.

00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:38.580
 Not only on Achan and his wife.

00:05:38.580 --> 00:05:39.840
 But his sons.

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:40.880
 His daughters.

00:05:41.340 --> 00:05:42.320
 His property.

00:05:42.580 --> 00:05:43.420
 His possessions.

00:05:43.620 --> 00:05:44.360
 His livestock.

00:05:44.940 --> 00:05:47.700
 Were all taken out to the valley of Achor.

00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:49.240
 And judgment fell.

00:05:50.300 --> 00:05:51.380
 A heap of stones.

00:05:52.080 --> 00:05:55.000
 A place of lasting reminder.

00:05:55.860 --> 00:05:59.180
 And I think God was making something unmistakably clear.

00:05:59.180 --> 00:06:05.579
 If you will be a people who experience and enjoy the power of God.

00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:09.120
 You must be a people who are holy to God.

00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.540
 A people holy to God.

00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.500
 So here we come to Acts chapter 5.

00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.379
 Another beginning of another great movement.

00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:25.040
 And another great message of God's holiness.

00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.640
 The message is embedded in our story.

00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:30.140
 It's clear.

00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:32.000
 What seems to be severe.

00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:34.540
 Is God seeking to establish.

00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:35.780
 Right out of the beginning.

00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:36.640
 Right out of the gate.

00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:38.840
 A people who will enjoy.

00:06:39.100 --> 00:06:40.860
 The benefits of God's power.

00:06:41.140 --> 00:06:42.800
 His grace among them.

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:44.680
 The health of a church.

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.160
 That is flourishing.

00:06:46.379 --> 00:06:47.200
 And growing.

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.280
 Is a church that must be.

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:51.540
 First holy.

00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:53.280
 You see if a people.

00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.020
 Are going to enjoy the benefits.

00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:55.640
 Benefits.

00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:57.879
 Of God's power among them.

00:06:58.180 --> 00:06:59.819
 God's holiness among them.

00:06:59.900 --> 00:07:01.800
 They must be a holy people.

00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:03.920
 As we find from 1 Peter.

00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:04.379
 It says.

00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:05.400
 Be holy.

00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:07.020
 For I am holy.

00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:08.680
 That's what God has called us to.

00:07:08.780 --> 00:07:09.040
 And so.

00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:10.580
 And so this morning.

00:07:10.580 --> 00:07:11.020
 As we.

00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:12.160
 As we talk.

00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:13.879
 About Acts chapter 5.

00:07:13.960 --> 00:07:15.140
 It's a sobering passage.

00:07:16.200 --> 00:07:17.320
 In some respects.

00:07:17.740 --> 00:07:19.800
 There is a bit of a measure of.

00:07:20.140 --> 00:07:20.879
 Fear and trembling.

00:07:21.580 --> 00:07:22.400
 Even for me.

00:07:22.520 --> 00:07:22.840
 As I.

00:07:23.060 --> 00:07:24.379
 As I'm sharing this with you.

00:07:24.379 --> 00:07:24.579
 Because.

00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:26.740
 As we consider our lives.

00:07:26.860 --> 00:07:28.560
 As we examine ourselves.

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:29.459
 We know.

00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:30.980
 That there are areas of our life.

00:07:31.139 --> 00:07:32.120
 That are out of bounds.

00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:33.000
 Out of step.

00:07:33.139 --> 00:07:34.360
 With what God has called us to.

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.139
 But we also know that God is.

00:07:38.719 --> 00:07:39.579
 Full of grace.

00:07:40.540 --> 00:07:41.939
 God is full of mercy.

00:07:42.899 --> 00:07:43.579
 God delights.

00:07:43.579 --> 00:07:44.420
 In forgiveness.

00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:46.740
 As Paul will say.

00:07:46.740 --> 00:07:48.759
 Where sin abounds there.

00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:49.280
 Grace abounds.

00:07:49.280 --> 00:07:49.980
 Grace abounds.

00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:50.960
 All the more.

00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:51.800
 The super.

00:07:52.220 --> 00:07:53.360
 Abounding grace.

00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:53.900
 Of God.

00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:56.240
 God doesn't write us off.

00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:57.439
 When we sin.

00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:58.120
 God.

00:07:58.460 --> 00:07:59.120
 Allows us.

00:07:59.220 --> 00:07:59.800
 To enjoy.

00:08:00.340 --> 00:08:00.639
 Mercy.

00:08:00.740 --> 00:08:01.360
 But sometimes.

00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:02.340
 Even in mercy.

00:08:02.740 --> 00:08:04.340
 There are severe consequences.

00:08:04.460 --> 00:08:04.819
 And that.

00:08:05.180 --> 00:08:05.740
 By the way.

00:08:05.819 --> 00:08:06.960
 Is also a mercy.

00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:08.220
 A mercy.

00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:10.100
 To Ananias.

00:08:10.220 --> 00:08:10.819
 And Sapphira.

00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:11.680
 A mercy.

00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:12.840
 On the church.

00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:14.000
 And a mercy.

00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:15.099
 Because it continues.

00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:16.659
 To help advance.

00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:18.079
 Not only the cause.

00:08:18.359 --> 00:08:19.399
 But helps to exalt.

00:08:19.479 --> 00:08:20.699
 And continue to exalt.

00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:21.699
 The majesty.

00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:22.539
 And the glory.

00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:23.679
 Of God.

00:08:24.939 --> 00:08:26.199
 We come to our story.

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.139
 In a man named Ananias.

00:08:28.179 --> 00:08:29.219
 And his wife Sapphira.

00:08:30.299 --> 00:08:31.259
 And here they are.

00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:31.779
 At the beginning.

00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:33.059
 Of this church movement.

00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:34.039
 Having experienced.

00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:35.379
 This incredible work.

00:08:35.439 --> 00:08:35.839
 Of the Lord.

00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:36.699
 Among his people.

00:08:36.699 --> 00:08:37.519
 There are two.

00:08:37.699 --> 00:08:38.919
 Phrases that we looked at.

00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:39.620
 Last week.

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:40.839
 From Acts chapter 4.

00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:41.879
 Verse 33.

00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:43.639
 Great power.

00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:44.600
 We saw.

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:46.840
 And great grace.

00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:47.439
 You remember that?

00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:50.519
 It says in chapter 4.

00:08:50.580 --> 00:08:51.179
 Verse 33.

00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:53.399
 With great power.

00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:55.039
 The apostles were giving.

00:08:55.179 --> 00:08:55.860
 Their testimony.

00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:57.000
 To the resurrection.

00:08:57.179 --> 00:08:57.899
 Of the Lord Jesus.

00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.500
 And great grace.

00:09:00.820 --> 00:09:02.539
 Was upon them all.

00:09:03.820 --> 00:09:04.939
 You want to experience.

00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:05.940
 And enjoy.

00:09:06.539 --> 00:09:07.940
 The great power of God.

00:09:08.779 --> 00:09:10.299
 And the great grace of God.

00:09:10.299 --> 00:09:12.219
 The evidence.

00:09:12.219 --> 00:09:13.419
 Of God's.

00:09:13.419 --> 00:09:13.479
 Of God's.

00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:15.439
 Hand upon your life.

00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:16.579
 His favor.

00:09:16.859 --> 00:09:17.620
 On your life.

00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:19.459
 Great grace.

00:09:19.620 --> 00:09:20.319
 And great power.

00:09:20.439 --> 00:09:21.059
 Come through.

00:09:21.439 --> 00:09:22.199
 The Holy Spirit.

00:09:22.599 --> 00:09:23.879
 And they come to a people.

00:09:24.059 --> 00:09:24.459
 Who are.

00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:25.899
 Not only recipients.

00:09:25.899 --> 00:09:26.919
 Of God's grace.

00:09:27.019 --> 00:09:27.699
 But seek.

00:09:28.099 --> 00:09:28.899
 To dwell.

00:09:29.139 --> 00:09:30.359
 And live within.

00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:31.079
 That grace.

00:09:31.199 --> 00:09:31.899
 By advancing.

00:09:32.379 --> 00:09:33.579
 The grace of God.

00:09:33.779 --> 00:09:34.319
 Around them.

00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:34.920
 God.

00:09:34.920 --> 00:09:37.140
 But while this great grace.

00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:37.800
 Was evident.

00:09:38.340 --> 00:09:39.260
 The work of the spirit.

00:09:39.460 --> 00:09:39.960
 Was clear.

00:09:40.280 --> 00:09:41.540
 Now we see here.

00:09:41.620 --> 00:09:42.400
 At the very beginning.

00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:43.720
 Of this church movement.

00:09:44.100 --> 00:09:44.840
 The enemy.

00:09:45.420 --> 00:09:46.660
 Who tries to come.

00:09:46.740 --> 00:09:47.360
 And corrupt.

00:09:47.620 --> 00:09:48.379
 This movement.

00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:49.960
 To destroy.

00:09:50.180 --> 00:09:50.640
 This movement.

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:51.260
 From within.

00:09:52.020 --> 00:09:53.080
 And Peter names it.

00:09:53.140 --> 00:09:53.760
 In our passage.

00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:55.060
 In chapter 5.

00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:55.460
 Verse 3.

00:09:55.520 --> 00:09:56.120
 He says this.

00:09:56.420 --> 00:09:57.060
 Ananias.

00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:58.500
 Why has Satan.

00:09:59.100 --> 00:09:59.580
 Filled.

00:09:59.860 --> 00:10:00.420
 Your heart.

00:10:00.520 --> 00:10:01.120
 To lie.

00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:02.500
 To the Holy Spirit.

00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:05.039
 God's response.

00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:05.779
 To Ananias.

00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:06.299
 Will seem.

00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:07.200
 Very extreme.

00:10:08.299 --> 00:10:09.320
 But it underscores.

00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:10.159
 The seriousness.

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:11.539
 Of holiness.

00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:12.600
 Among God's people.

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:14.519
 It highlights.

00:10:14.700 --> 00:10:15.080
 The issue.

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:15.620
 That threatens.

00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:16.919
 Every church.

00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:17.659
 Movement.

00:10:18.100 --> 00:10:18.720
 Every church.

00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:19.179
 That desires.

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:19.799
 To be healthy.

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:21.340
 Church.

00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:21.840
 That desires.

00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:22.460
 To grow.

00:10:23.100 --> 00:10:23.440
 A church.

00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:23.940
 That desires.

00:10:24.019 --> 00:10:24.700
 To be unified.

00:10:25.340 --> 00:10:26.019
 Is a church.

00:10:26.139 --> 00:10:26.840
 That must.

00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:28.559
 Be holy.

00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:30.600
 If there's any act.

00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:31.039
 That gets.

00:10:31.580 --> 00:10:32.399
 To the heart.

00:10:32.500 --> 00:10:33.039
 Of grace.

00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:34.159
 That demonstrates.

00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:35.379
 The grace of God.

00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:35.940
 In.

00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:37.559
 In excess.

00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:38.440
 Perhaps.

00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:39.379
 It is the.

00:10:39.779 --> 00:10:40.019

 And I just want to.

00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:44.500
 At the very beginning.

00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:45.659
 Of this message.

00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:46.539

00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:46.779

 From 2nd Corinthians.

00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:48.940
 You don't have to turn there.

00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:49.980
 I'm going to put it on the screen.

00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:51.000
 I want you to see.

00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:52.039

00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:56.320
 Beginning in verse 1.

00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:56.879
 It says this.

00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:58.340
 We want you to know brothers.

00:10:58.519 --> 00:10:59.759
 About the grace of God.

00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:00.600
 That has been given.

00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.040
 Among the churches of Macedonia.

00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:05.259
 For they gave.

00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:06.320
 According to their means.

00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.960
 And beyond their means.

00:11:08.680 --> 00:11:09.639
 Begging us earnestly.

00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:10.500
 For the favor.

00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:11.120

 Accordingly.

00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:17.639
 We urge Titus.

 That though he was rich.

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:45.080
 Yet for your sake.

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:46.180

 So that you.

00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:48.300
 By his poverty.

00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:49.680
 Might become rich.

00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.200
 As it is written.

00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:52.340
 Whoever gathered much.

00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:53.800
 Had nothing left over.

00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:55.600
 Whoever gathered little.

00:11:55.800 --> 00:11:57.360
 Had no lack.

00:11:58.160 --> 00:11:59.080
 And then in chapter 9.

00:11:59.940 --> 00:12:00.660
 And God is able.

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:02.480
 To make all grace.

00:12:02.620 --> 00:12:03.680

 You may abound.

00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:09.220

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:03.180
 Become rich.

00:13:03.259 --> 00:13:03.620
 And so.

00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.060
 When we experience.

00:13:05.180 --> 00:13:05.780
 The abundant.

00:13:06.180 --> 00:13:06.780
 Amazing.

00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:07.300
 Grace.

00:13:07.300 --> 00:13:07.860
 Of God.

00:13:08.140 --> 00:13:09.300
 That's all we can do.

00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:10.460
 To share.

00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:11.020
 And distribute.

00:13:11.020 --> 00:13:11.720
 That grace.

00:13:11.800 --> 00:13:12.300
 With others.

00:13:13.580 --> 00:13:14.460
 And we see.

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:15.200
 An example.

00:13:16.140 --> 00:13:16.780
 An example.

00:13:16.780 --> 00:13:17.920
 Of grace.

00:13:18.520 --> 00:13:19.700
 Among this church.

00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:20.820
 Which great grace.

00:13:20.820 --> 00:13:21.660
 Was upon.

00:13:21.660 --> 00:13:22.640
 Them all.

00:13:23.160 --> 00:13:23.620
 Ananias.

00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:24.320
 And Sapphira.

00:13:24.580 --> 00:13:25.360
 Were recipients.

00:13:25.740 --> 00:13:26.879
 Of great grace.

00:13:28.280 --> 00:13:28.940
 And we're going to see.

00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:30.259
 In our passage today.

00:13:30.560 --> 00:13:31.540
 There are things.

00:13:31.660 --> 00:13:33.040
 About their giving.

00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:33.660
 That are good.

00:13:33.780 --> 00:13:34.560
 And commendable.

00:13:34.620 --> 00:13:35.200
 And I want to just.

00:13:35.420 --> 00:13:36.040
 Put them.

00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:37.020
 In the forefront.

00:13:37.540 --> 00:13:38.800
 As we're working through.

00:13:38.900 --> 00:13:40.379
 I want us to take note.

00:13:40.379 --> 00:13:41.759
 Of some good things.

00:13:41.800 --> 00:13:42.360
 That we see.

00:13:42.680 --> 00:13:43.460
 God's work.

00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:45.140
 In the hearts.

00:13:45.140 --> 00:13:45.720
 And lives.

00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:46.800
 Of these two.

00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:47.299
 First.

00:13:48.599 --> 00:13:48.939
 We find.

00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:50.139
 That they give generously.

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:52.479
 They gave generously.

00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:53.639
 Look at this.

00:13:53.740 --> 00:13:54.659
 In chapter 5.

00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:55.159
 Verse 1.

00:13:55.899 --> 00:13:56.899
 But Ananias.

00:13:57.359 --> 00:13:57.799
 Excuse me.

00:13:58.019 --> 00:13:59.439
 But a man named Ananias.

00:13:59.500 --> 00:14:00.679
 With his wife Sapphira.

00:14:01.500 --> 00:14:01.979
 Sold.

00:14:02.179 --> 00:14:02.779
 A piece.

00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:03.500
 Of property.

00:14:04.479 --> 00:14:05.740
 And with his wife's knowledge.

00:14:05.819 --> 00:14:06.439
 He kept back.

00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:07.039
 For himself.

00:14:07.339 --> 00:14:08.279
 Some of the proceeds.

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:10.179
 And brought only a part of it.

00:14:10.179 --> 00:14:10.819
 And laid it.

00:14:10.959 --> 00:14:11.959
 At the apostles feet.

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:13.819
 But Peter said.

00:14:14.620 --> 00:14:15.059
 Ananias.

00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:15.859
 Why has Satan.

00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:16.659
 Filled your heart.

00:14:16.659 --> 00:14:17.179
 To lie.

00:14:17.439 --> 00:14:18.360
 To the Holy Spirit.

00:14:18.620 --> 00:14:19.480
 And to keep back.

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:20.019
 For yourself.

00:14:20.100 --> 00:14:20.779
 Part of the proceeds.

00:14:20.779 --> 00:14:21.279
 Of the land.

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:23.019
 While it remained.

00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:23.759
 Unsold.

00:14:24.100 --> 00:14:25.079
 Did it not remain.

00:14:25.079 --> 00:14:26.000
 In your own.

00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:30.339
 And after it was sold.

00:14:30.659 --> 00:14:31.299
 Was it not.

00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:32.079
 At your disposal.

00:14:32.839 --> 00:14:33.719
 Why is it.

00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:34.919
 That you have contrived.

00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:35.579
 This deed.

00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:36.219
 In your heart.

00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:37.899
 You have not lied.

00:14:37.899 --> 00:14:38.459
 To man.

00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:39.039
 But to God.

00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:40.899
 When Ananias.

00:14:40.939 --> 00:14:41.579
 Heard these words.

00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:42.240
 He fell down.

00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:43.159
 And breathed his last.

00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:44.299
 In great fear.

00:14:44.419 --> 00:14:45.019
 Came upon.

00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:45.939
 All who heard of it.

00:14:45.940 --> 00:14:47.500
 The young man rose.

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:48.360
 And wrapped him up.

00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:49.160
 And carried him.

00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:49.700
 Out.

00:14:49.820 --> 00:14:50.440
 And buried him.

00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:51.980
 Last week.

00:14:52.040 --> 00:14:52.540
 Like I said.

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.140
 We saw this extravagant work.

00:14:54.520 --> 00:14:55.620
 Of the grace of God.

00:14:55.660 --> 00:14:56.560
 Among his people.

00:14:57.160 --> 00:14:58.360
 And one key example.

00:14:58.360 --> 00:14:59.100
 That we saw.

00:14:59.260 --> 00:14:59.800
 Was Joseph.

00:14:59.960 --> 00:15:00.800
 There at the end.

00:15:00.800 --> 00:15:01.740
 Of chapter 4.

00:15:01.900 --> 00:15:02.940
 Verses 36.

00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:03.660
 And 37.

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:04.720
 Joseph.

00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:06.000
 Who is also called.

00:15:06.100 --> 00:15:06.700
 By the apostles.

00:15:07.040 --> 00:15:07.400
 Barnabas.

00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:08.160
 Which means.

00:15:08.280 --> 00:15:09.000
 Son of encouragement.

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:09.780
 A Levite.

00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:11.160
 A native of Cyprus.

00:15:11.460 --> 00:15:12.220
 Sold a field.

00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:13.340
 That belonged to him.

00:15:13.340 --> 00:15:14.360
 And brought the money.

00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:15.759
 And laid it at the apostles feet.

00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:17.620
 But then we come to.

00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:18.440
 Chapter 5.

00:15:18.500 --> 00:15:19.040
 Verse 1.

00:15:19.300 --> 00:15:21.080
 What is the first word you read?

00:15:22.620 --> 00:15:23.100
 But.

00:15:24.540 --> 00:15:25.019
 But.

00:15:26.620 --> 00:15:28.100
 Just for the sake of.

00:15:28.680 --> 00:15:29.320
 You as.

00:15:29.560 --> 00:15:30.720
 Bible students.

00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:32.399
 Take notice.

00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:34.280
 Of contrastive words.

00:15:35.019 --> 00:15:36.720
 This is a way for us.

00:15:36.800 --> 00:15:38.300
 To understand.

00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:40.000
 What we can anticipate.

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:41.120
 What's coming next.

00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:42.320
 Take note.

00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:43.100
 Of words.

00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:43.879
 Especially.

00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:45.220
 Contrastive words.

00:15:45.539 --> 00:15:45.940
 The word.

00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:46.240
 But.

00:15:46.340 --> 00:15:46.720
 Is here.

00:15:47.060 --> 00:15:47.580
 For a reason.

00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:49.919
 It's a contrastive word.

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:50.560
 There's something.

00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:51.799
 That's going to be different.

00:15:52.860 --> 00:15:53.539
 But in many ways.

00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:54.279
 Several things.

00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:55.179
 That are the same.

00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:56.100
 Ananias.

00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:57.200
 They sold a possession.

00:15:57.899 --> 00:15:58.679
 This is a word.

00:15:58.799 --> 00:15:59.360
 For land.

00:15:59.460 --> 00:16:00.279
 It's a land.

00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:00.740
 It's a word.

00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:01.620
 For property.

00:16:02.700 --> 00:16:03.700
 We find that.

00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:04.919
 Throughout this.

00:16:05.139 --> 00:16:05.539
 This.

00:16:05.659 --> 00:16:06.279
 This book.

00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:06.720
 Already.

00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:07.659
 In Acts chapter 2.

00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:08.480
 Verse 45.

00:16:08.659 --> 00:16:09.940
 They're selling their possessions.

00:16:09.940 --> 00:16:10.639
 And goods.

00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:11.720
 In chapter 4.

00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:13.460
 Verse 34.

00:16:13.860 --> 00:16:15.659
 As many as were owners of lands or houses.

00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:16.600
 Sold them.

00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:18.319
 We've mentioned.

00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:19.559
 Briefly.

00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:20.000
 Last week.

00:16:20.059 --> 00:16:21.840
 That selling property was a big deal.

00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:25.139
 Especially for those who were growing up in Israel.

00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:26.139
 Because.

00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:27.860
 They had inherited this property.

00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:28.220
 It was.

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:29.639
 It was land rights.

00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:29.860
 It.

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.980
 It had an inheritance in view.

00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:32.340
 There were.

00:16:32.539 --> 00:16:33.539
 There was security.

00:16:33.860 --> 00:16:35.600
 That was bound up in property.

00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:36.439
 There was name.

00:16:36.539 --> 00:16:37.399
 There was reputation.

00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:39.279
 To sell lands.

00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:41.779
 Was to divest something significant.

00:16:43.179 --> 00:16:44.459
 It was a good thing.

00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:46.620
 It was commendable.

00:16:47.579 --> 00:16:48.360
 It led to.

00:16:48.819 --> 00:16:50.419
 Many thanksgivings to God.

00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:53.399
 And I think they wanted to experience.

00:16:53.539 --> 00:16:54.019
 The same.

00:16:54.319 --> 00:16:55.220
 The same joy.

00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:55.939
 That they saw.

00:16:56.220 --> 00:16:57.240
 Happening around them.

00:16:57.259 --> 00:16:57.799
 They saw.

00:16:58.059 --> 00:16:59.419
 How this distributing.

00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:01.059
 And giving of gifts.

00:17:01.139 --> 00:17:02.259
 And selling property.

00:17:02.539 --> 00:17:03.120
 Helped to.

00:17:03.419 --> 00:17:04.599
 Increase the joy.

00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:05.559
 And thanksgivings.

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:06.619
 Of all of those.

00:17:06.719 --> 00:17:07.399
 Who are around them.

00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:07.599
 They're like.

00:17:07.719 --> 00:17:09.259
 We want a taste of that.

00:17:09.399 --> 00:17:10.559
 That looks amazing.

00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:12.379
 How can we take part in that?

00:17:13.939 --> 00:17:14.919
 They've been impacted.

00:17:14.919 --> 00:17:16.000
 By the message.

00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:16.259
 They.

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:16.779
 They.

00:17:16.859 --> 00:17:17.079
 They.

00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:17.439
 They were.

00:17:17.679 --> 00:17:19.259
 They were one heart and soul.

00:17:19.339 --> 00:17:20.919
 We saw that in chapter four.

00:17:21.439 --> 00:17:22.859
 The spirit of God.

00:17:23.059 --> 00:17:23.119
 Was.

00:17:23.419 --> 00:17:24.699
 Was working in them.

00:17:25.779 --> 00:17:27.759
 And I think they wanted to leave their mark.

00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.000
 I think they were inspired by good things.

00:17:31.639 --> 00:17:32.079
 And.

00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:33.719
 Just want to pause for a moment.

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:33.960
 To.

00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:35.220
 To let you know.

00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:36.700
 It is good to follow.

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.160
 The example of others.

00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:38.920
 It's good.

00:17:39.100 --> 00:17:41.019
 To be inspired to good things.

00:17:41.299 --> 00:17:42.000
 It's good to.

00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:43.700
 To see what God is doing.

00:17:43.779 --> 00:17:44.880
 And how he's working.

00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:46.180
 In the lives of others.

00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:46.480
 And say.

00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:47.000
 You know what?

00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:48.259
 What a great idea.

00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:49.100
 I think.

00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:49.940
 I want to follow.

00:17:50.259 --> 00:17:51.100
 That example.

00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:54.039
 You see.

00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:54.839
 They were being generous.

00:17:56.059 --> 00:17:57.620
 They were extravagant.

00:17:57.740 --> 00:17:58.839
 They were sacrificial.

00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:00.360
 They sold a property.

00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:02.379
 I think.

00:18:03.019 --> 00:18:04.459
 It's even safe to say.

00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:06.219
 They were filled with faith.

00:18:07.379 --> 00:18:08.719
 They were faith filled.

00:18:08.919 --> 00:18:09.519
 In this giving.

00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:11.399
 Divesting property.

00:18:11.979 --> 00:18:13.019
 Releasing a measure.

00:18:13.019 --> 00:18:14.039
 Of that security.

00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:15.599
 Extending mercy.

00:18:16.659 --> 00:18:17.399
 It was good.

00:18:17.399 --> 00:18:17.959
 For them.

00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:19.339
 To give.

00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:20.579
 They gave generously.

00:18:21.439 --> 00:18:21.740
 Next.

00:18:21.819 --> 00:18:22.079
 We see.

00:18:22.179 --> 00:18:23.219
 They gave properly.

00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:24.839
 And I would say.

00:18:24.959 --> 00:18:26.559
 They gave in the proper way.

00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:28.839
 And I'm pointing.

00:18:29.619 --> 00:18:31.159
 To chapter 4.

00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.000
 Verse 35.

00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:32.779
 Notice.

00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:34.879
 They laid it at the apostles feet.

00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:36.159
 These are the believers there.

00:18:36.399 --> 00:18:37.319
 In Jerusalem.

00:18:37.579 --> 00:18:38.200
 Chapter 4.

00:18:38.379 --> 00:18:38.859
 Verse 35.

00:18:39.299 --> 00:18:40.879
 Notice what Barnabas does.

00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:42.359
 In chapter 4.

00:18:42.399 --> 00:18:43.079
 Verse 37.

00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:43.500
 It says.

00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:45.899
 He laid it at the apostles feet.

00:18:46.899 --> 00:18:48.639
 The church had determined to express.

00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:50.099
 Their grace giving.

00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:51.759
 Their consecration.

00:18:52.179 --> 00:18:53.339
 Dedicating the things.

00:18:53.339 --> 00:18:55.220
 That were gifts.

00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:56.919
 To the fellowship.

00:18:57.459 --> 00:18:58.240
 They were going to.

00:18:58.399 --> 00:18:59.319
 Dedicate it to the Lord.

00:18:59.399 --> 00:19:00.119
 By laying.

00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:00.779
 This gift.

00:19:00.819 --> 00:19:01.740
 At the apostles feet.

00:19:02.859 --> 00:19:03.500
 And notice.

00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:04.579
 Chapter 5.

00:19:04.899 --> 00:19:05.619
 Verse 2.

00:19:06.659 --> 00:19:07.299
 Ananias.

00:19:07.500 --> 00:19:08.119
 Laid it.

00:19:08.619 --> 00:19:09.859
 At the apostles feet.

00:19:10.899 --> 00:19:11.879
 From the outside.

00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:12.939
 Looking in.

00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:15.179
 Everything was perfect.

00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:17.119
 This word.

00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:17.500
 Laid.

00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:18.439
 Is the same word.

00:19:18.439 --> 00:19:19.019
 That's been used.

00:19:19.179 --> 00:19:20.059
 Now three times in a row.

00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:21.639
 It's the same tense.

00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:23.620
 It's the same everything.

00:19:24.520 --> 00:19:25.520
 Of the believers.

00:19:25.840 --> 00:19:26.600
 Of Barnabas.

00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:27.860
 And now for Ananias.

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:29.240
 Ananias.

00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:31.120
 Is working through the right process.

00:19:31.340 --> 00:19:31.940
 He's following.

00:19:32.280 --> 00:19:33.500
 The right procedure.

00:19:34.780 --> 00:19:35.600
 He gave generously.

00:19:36.020 --> 00:19:37.140
 He gave properly.

00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:40.480
 But then we get to verse 3.

00:19:41.180 --> 00:19:42.259
 He gave corruptly.

00:19:43.820 --> 00:19:45.180
 He gave corruptly.

00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:48.220
 So many good things.

00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:49.840
 Are corrupted.

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:50.600
 By one.

00:19:51.340 --> 00:19:51.740
 Wrong.

00:19:52.140 --> 00:19:52.519
 Act.

00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:54.600
 Verse 3.

00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:55.279
 Peter says.

00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:55.880
 Ananias.

00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:56.759
 Why has Satan.

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:57.700
 Filled your heart.

00:19:57.779 --> 00:19:58.279
 To lie.

00:19:58.500 --> 00:19:59.420
 To the Holy Spirit.

00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:00.519
 And to keep back for yourself.

00:20:00.600 --> 00:20:01.779
 Part of the proceeds of the land.

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.640
 While it remained unsold.

00:20:03.740 --> 00:20:04.960
 Did it not remain your own?

00:20:05.820 --> 00:20:06.840
 And after it was sold.

00:20:06.900 --> 00:20:08.320
 Was it not at your disposal?

00:20:08.740 --> 00:20:10.580
 Why is it that you have contrived.

00:20:10.580 --> 00:20:11.940
 This deed in your heart?

00:20:11.940 --> 00:20:14.860
 You have not lied to man.

00:20:15.059 --> 00:20:16.480
 But to God.

00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:19.080
 Oh how sin pollutes.

00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:21.299
 The best of actions.

00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.200
 You know the verse from James chapter 2.

00:20:25.700 --> 00:20:25.880
 Verse.

00:20:26.340 --> 00:20:27.259
 James 2.

00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:27.580
 10.

00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:28.120
 It says.

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:30.960
 Whoever shall keep the whole law.

00:20:31.299 --> 00:20:33.120
 And yet stumble in one point.

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:33.720
 He is.

00:20:34.600 --> 00:20:35.539
 Guilty of all.

00:20:36.500 --> 00:20:37.880
 But I did this.

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:39.160
 And I did this.

00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:40.299
 And I did this.

00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:41.360
 And I did this.

00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:42.079
 And I did this.

00:20:42.179 --> 00:20:42.259
 But.

00:20:42.979 --> 00:20:44.519
 It gives me.

00:20:44.879 --> 00:20:46.579
 Some ability to do that.

00:20:47.159 --> 00:20:48.479
 I got all of this.

00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:49.179
 Over here.

00:20:49.399 --> 00:20:50.299
 Look at all of this.

00:20:50.379 --> 00:20:51.639
 This is good stuff.

00:20:51.899 --> 00:20:52.079
 But.

00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:53.899
 It's just this little that.

00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:54.919
 It's okay.

00:20:55.179 --> 00:20:55.519
 Right?

00:20:56.019 --> 00:20:56.240
 No.

00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:56.779
 It's not okay.

00:20:58.659 --> 00:20:59.519
 It's corrupting.

00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:01.359
 It's polluting.

00:21:02.579 --> 00:21:02.839
 It.

00:21:04.059 --> 00:21:04.459
 Misrepresented.

00:21:05.059 --> 00:21:06.159
 The work of the Holy Spirit.

00:21:07.179 --> 00:21:08.019
 You're lying.

00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:09.479
 Not to man.

00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:10.980
 You're lying.

00:21:10.980 --> 00:21:11.019
 You're lying.

00:21:11.019 --> 00:21:11.920
 To God.

00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:14.160
 How could you do such a thing?

00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:15.620
 Now recount.

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:18.059
 All of these things together with me.

00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:19.160
 They.

00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:20.180
 Ananias.

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:20.759
 And Sapphira.

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:22.460
 They became part of this fellowship.

00:21:22.539 --> 00:21:22.819
 Which means.

00:21:23.099 --> 00:21:23.940
 They were believers.

00:21:24.620 --> 00:21:26.039
 They had placed their faith.

00:21:26.180 --> 00:21:26.799
 And trust.

00:21:27.099 --> 00:21:28.039
 In Jesus Christ.

00:21:28.099 --> 00:21:29.220
 Alone for salvation.

00:21:29.660 --> 00:21:31.180
 They believed in his death.

00:21:31.420 --> 00:21:32.579
 They believed in his resurrection.

00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.460
 They had placed their faith in him.

00:21:34.460 --> 00:21:36.039
 As their Lord and Savior.

00:21:36.380 --> 00:21:37.420
 That was important.

00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:40.579
 They were of one heart.

00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:41.539
 And one soul.

00:21:41.860 --> 00:21:43.299
 We saw that from chapter 4.

00:21:43.620 --> 00:21:44.480
 They were connected.

00:21:44.860 --> 00:21:46.000
 They were involved.

00:21:46.100 --> 00:21:47.779
 They were united with God's people.

00:21:48.819 --> 00:21:51.000
 They saw God's work among the apostles.

00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:53.059
 And they were devoted to the teaching.

00:21:53.600 --> 00:21:55.019
 They were devoted to the ministry.

00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:56.620
 They were devoted to the work.

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:59.019
 And great grace was upon them.

00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:00.660
 We've said that a number of times already.

00:22:00.660 --> 00:22:02.019
 And because of that.

00:22:02.380 --> 00:22:04.320
 They were determined to take part.

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.360
 In this ministry.

00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:06.279
 That God was doing.

00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:08.080
 In part of this distribution.

00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:11.259
 So they sold a piece of property.

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.180
 They brought the gift to the apostles.

00:22:14.540 --> 00:22:15.759
 They laid that gift.

00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:17.519
 At the apostles feet.

00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:18.700
 And then.

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:20.220
 They lied.

00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:21.120
 About.

00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:22.580
 How much they sold.

00:22:23.080 --> 00:22:23.700
 The property for.

00:22:24.980 --> 00:22:25.660
 One.

00:22:26.080 --> 00:22:26.440
 Act.

00:22:26.800 --> 00:22:27.580
 Of corruption.

00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:29.320
 Polluted the whole thing.

00:22:30.660 --> 00:22:31.200
 One.

00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:31.779
 Act.

00:22:31.779 --> 00:22:31.800
 Act.

00:22:31.800 --> 00:22:32.400
 Of corruption.

00:22:32.900 --> 00:22:33.400
 Polluted.

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:34.600
 The whole thing.

00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:37.300
 You know.

00:22:38.140 --> 00:22:39.240
 We can recognize.

00:22:39.340 --> 00:22:39.680
 Perhaps.

00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:41.300
 The significance of this.

00:22:41.360 --> 00:22:42.060
 When we think about.

00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:43.500
 Drinking water.

00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:45.160
 The EPA.

00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:46.019
 Regulates.

00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:46.680
 Arsenic.

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:47.500
 In drinking water.

00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:48.759
 To 10 parts.

00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:49.160
 Per.

00:22:49.660 --> 00:22:50.019
 Billion.

00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:50.600
 Okay.

00:22:50.660 --> 00:22:51.300
 10 parts.

00:22:51.360 --> 00:22:51.820
 Per billion.

00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:52.720
 And it's.

00:22:52.800 --> 00:22:53.600
 One part.

00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:54.800
 For a hundred.

00:22:54.940 --> 00:22:55.240
 Million.

00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:55.759
 Okay.

00:22:56.380 --> 00:22:56.920
 So.

00:22:57.620 --> 00:22:58.200
 Basically.

00:22:58.200 --> 00:22:58.900
 What that means.

00:22:58.900 --> 00:22:59.100
 Is.

00:22:59.100 --> 00:22:59.700
 You can have.

00:22:59.700 --> 00:23:00.819
 Ninety nine.

00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:01.259
 Million.

00:23:01.940 --> 00:23:02.720
 Nine hundred.

00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:03.500
 And ninety nine.

00:23:03.580 --> 00:23:03.940
 Thousand.

00:23:04.019 --> 00:23:04.400
 Nine hundred.

00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:05.220
 And ninety nine.

00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:05.779
 Parts.

00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:06.960
 Of pure.

00:23:07.259 --> 00:23:08.240
 Drinking water.

00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:10.000
 And one part.

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:11.400
 Of arsenic.

00:23:13.080 --> 00:23:13.980
 And it's.

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:15.080
 No.

00:23:15.340 --> 00:23:15.980
 Don't touch.

00:23:16.940 --> 00:23:17.640
 It's polluted.

00:23:18.380 --> 00:23:18.960
 It's corrupt.

00:23:20.019 --> 00:23:20.779
 Ninety nine.

00:23:20.779 --> 00:23:21.220
 Million.

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:22.059
 Nine hundred.

00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:22.240


00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:22.380
 Nine hundred.

00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:24.799
 That should be fine.

00:23:25.080 --> 00:23:25.220
 No.

00:23:25.259 --> 00:23:25.840
 It's not fine.

00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:29.240
 I think we.

00:23:30.159 --> 00:23:31.000
 At times.

00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:31.639
 Give ourselves.

00:23:31.639 --> 00:23:32.419
 A pass.

00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:33.220
 Along the same.

00:23:33.399 --> 00:23:34.000
 Same lines.

00:23:35.019 --> 00:23:35.379
 We.

00:23:35.819 --> 00:23:36.079
 See.

00:23:36.220 --> 00:23:36.919
 All the good.

00:23:37.159 --> 00:23:37.500
 We think.

00:23:37.619 --> 00:23:38.419
 That the ledger.

00:23:38.959 --> 00:23:39.299
 Of.

00:23:39.419 --> 00:23:39.559
 Of.

00:23:39.639 --> 00:23:39.759
 Of.

00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:40.179
 The things.

00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:40.779
 That we do.

00:23:40.899 --> 00:23:41.459
 For God.

00:23:41.619 --> 00:23:42.980
 Are going to count.

00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:43.839
 But at a whole.

00:23:43.919 --> 00:23:44.299
 It takes.

00:23:44.459 --> 00:23:45.339
 Is being guilty.

00:23:45.339 --> 00:23:46.099
 Of one.

00:23:46.159 --> 00:23:46.759
 And you're guilty.

00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:47.139
 Of all.

00:23:48.579 --> 00:23:48.919
 Guilty.

00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:49.259
 Of all.

00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:50.799
 You see.

00:23:51.299 --> 00:23:51.819
 God.

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:52.500
 Was not.

00:23:52.959 --> 00:23:53.240
 Calculating.

00:23:53.459 --> 00:23:53.939
 Percentages.

00:23:53.940 --> 00:23:56.340
 He was not.

00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:56.920
 Calculating.

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:57.580
 Percentages.

00:23:59.019 --> 00:23:59.539
 Holy.

00:24:00.360 --> 00:24:01.100
 Not holy.

00:24:01.900 --> 00:24:02.620
 No neutral.

00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:03.160
 Territory.

00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:05.820
 And Ananias.

00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:06.279
 His lie.

00:24:07.360 --> 00:24:07.840
 Polluted.

00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:08.900
 The whole.

00:24:09.100 --> 00:24:09.360
 Gift.

00:24:09.580 --> 00:24:10.420
 However great.

00:24:10.600 --> 00:24:11.299
 The gift was.

00:24:11.539 --> 00:24:12.000
 Polluted.

00:24:12.420 --> 00:24:13.019
 Corrupted.

00:24:13.840 --> 00:24:14.460
 Was it useful?

00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:15.160
 Sure.

00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:16.039
 I'm sure it was useful.

00:24:16.420 --> 00:24:17.259
 But it corrupted.

00:24:17.580 --> 00:24:17.900
 The giver.

00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:19.539
 Why.

00:24:19.740 --> 00:24:20.299
 Did that matter.

00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:20.840
 So much.

00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:21.080
 Well.

00:24:21.740 --> 00:24:22.740
 In a time.

00:24:22.860 --> 00:24:23.820
 Where the Holy Spirit.

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:24.759
 Was working.

00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:25.879
 Among the people.

00:24:26.220 --> 00:24:27.579
 To misrepresent.

00:24:27.579 --> 00:24:28.319
 The work.

00:24:28.399 --> 00:24:28.899
 Of God.

00:24:29.220 --> 00:24:29.919
 Was to.

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:30.779
 To shame.

00:24:31.099 --> 00:24:31.559
 Or to.

00:24:31.740 --> 00:24:32.619
 To pollute.

00:24:32.939 --> 00:24:33.720
 The glory.

00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:34.220
 Of God.

00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:34.819
 In this way.

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:37.500
 Sacrificial sharing.

00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:39.019
 Was going to be confused.

00:24:39.019 --> 00:24:39.939
 Now with showmanship.

00:24:41.099 --> 00:24:42.179
 If Ananias.

00:24:42.419 --> 00:24:43.000
 And Sapphira.

00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:44.500
 Were not held accountable.

00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:45.960
 Satan.

00:24:46.299 --> 00:24:47.460
 Has filled your heart.

00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:48.579
 To lie to the Holy Spirit.

00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:51.139
 Who do you think.

00:24:51.259 --> 00:24:51.720
 You are.

00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:51.980
 Well.

00:24:52.980 --> 00:24:53.759
 Chapter 5.

00:24:53.779 --> 00:24:54.160
 Verse 4.

00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:55.000
 You have not.

00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:55.980
 Lied.

00:24:56.259 --> 00:24:56.880
 To man.

00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:57.960
 But to.

00:24:58.279 --> 00:24:58.839
 What church?

00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:00.160
 To God.

00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:02.940
 I wonder.

00:25:03.940 --> 00:25:05.380
 If we could get a hold of that.

00:25:06.100 --> 00:25:07.319
 Would that would change for us?

00:25:08.600 --> 00:25:09.740
 If we could recognize.

00:25:09.740 --> 00:25:11.059
 That every sin.

00:25:11.380 --> 00:25:12.160
 That we commit.

00:25:12.380 --> 00:25:13.539
 Is not just a sin.

00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:15.200
 Towards that other individual.

00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:17.240
 But is actually.

00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:18.400
 A sin to God.

00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:19.759
 What would that change.

00:25:20.100 --> 00:25:20.519
 For us.

00:25:21.320 --> 00:25:21.800
 Now.

00:25:22.220 --> 00:25:23.140
 Don't misunderstand.

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:25.860
 God is so full of grace.

00:25:26.940 --> 00:25:27.840
 He is so.

00:25:28.040 --> 00:25:28.680
 Abundant.

00:25:28.900 --> 00:25:29.460
 In mercy.

00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:30.900
 He delights.

00:25:31.340 --> 00:25:32.300
 In forgiveness.

00:25:33.380 --> 00:25:34.800
 That if we confess our sin.

00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:35.960
 John quoted this earlier.

00:25:36.360 --> 00:25:37.580
 If we confess our sin.

00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:38.680
 He is faithful.

00:25:39.100 --> 00:25:40.120
 And just.

00:25:40.280 --> 00:25:40.960
 To forgive.

00:25:41.320 --> 00:25:41.920
 And to cleanse us.

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:42.280
 From all.

00:25:43.060 --> 00:25:43.580
 Unrighteousness.

00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:43.980
 Because.

00:25:44.280 --> 00:25:44.900
 He delights.

00:25:44.900 --> 00:25:45.720
 In mercy.

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:48.180
 Delights in mercy.

00:25:48.180 --> 00:25:50.460
 But he can't let.

00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:52.299
 An unholy.

00:25:53.360 --> 00:25:54.480
 Contribution slide.

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:57.240
 Especially the kind of contribution.

00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:58.080
 That was public.

00:25:58.680 --> 00:25:59.720
 And it was giving testimony.

00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:01.019
 To the glory of God.

00:26:01.100 --> 00:26:01.680
 When in fact.

00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:02.500
 It was.

00:26:02.620 --> 00:26:03.580
 A human work.

00:26:04.740 --> 00:26:05.700
 They kept it back.

00:26:06.620 --> 00:26:07.200
 It's the word.

00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:07.820
 To embezzle.

00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:08.560
 Or to steal.

00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:10.140
 To misappropriate.

00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:11.360
 Misappropriate.

00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:12.720
 It's the only time.

00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:13.519
 In the New Testament.

00:26:13.840 --> 00:26:14.440
 And I.

00:26:14.560 --> 00:26:15.460
 Don't want to overstate.

00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:16.600
 I'm pretty sure.

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.120
 This is the case.

00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:18.160
 That it's the only time.

00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:19.040
 In the New Testament.

00:26:19.180 --> 00:26:20.500
 This Greek word is used.

00:26:20.820 --> 00:26:21.400
 And guess what?

00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:22.380
 The only other time.

00:26:22.460 --> 00:26:23.000
 It's used.

00:26:23.120 --> 00:26:24.279
 In the Old Testament.

00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:24.900
 The Greek.

00:26:25.019 --> 00:26:25.860
 Old Testament.

00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:27.019
 Guess where that is?

00:26:28.040 --> 00:26:29.160
 The story of Achan.

00:26:31.320 --> 00:26:32.400
 That's not a coincidence.

00:26:33.900 --> 00:26:35.480
 Because what was devoted to God.

00:26:36.820 --> 00:26:37.259
 In.

00:26:38.380 --> 00:26:38.860
 Jericho.

00:26:39.540 --> 00:26:40.880
 Is devoted to God here.

00:26:41.780 --> 00:26:44.960
 And Achan thought that he could take some from himself.

00:26:45.340 --> 00:26:47.540
 He was taking from God.

00:26:48.060 --> 00:26:50.940
 That which was devoted to the Lord he took for himself.

00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:52.940
 It came with the same consequences.

00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:55.360
 Death to Achan.

00:26:55.560 --> 00:26:56.500
 Death to his family.

00:26:57.840 --> 00:26:58.580
 He held back.

00:26:58.960 --> 00:26:59.560
 He pilfered.

00:26:59.940 --> 00:27:00.540
 He embezzled.

00:27:00.539 --> 00:27:02.859
 interestingly enough

00:27:02.859 --> 00:27:04.940
 Ananias' name means

00:27:04.940 --> 00:27:06.879
 God is gracious

00:27:06.879 --> 00:27:08.920
 here is a man

00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:11.079
 who is supposed to embody grace

00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:12.799
 he is supposed to reflect

00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:13.920
 the grace of God

00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:15.259
 who we find

00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:17.259
 the great grace

00:27:17.259 --> 00:27:18.720
 was upon this church

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:20.559
 and Ananias and Sapphira

00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:22.039
 being participants in that

00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:24.079
 and now Ananias

00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:26.039
 a recipient of grace

00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:28.379
 is now misrepresenting

00:27:28.379 --> 00:27:29.039
 God's grace

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:32.579
 misrepresenting God's grace

00:27:32.579 --> 00:27:34.859
 God could not let that go

00:27:34.859 --> 00:27:37.579
 Ananias caught up in the flow

00:27:37.579 --> 00:27:38.740
 of satanic thinking

00:27:38.740 --> 00:27:41.000
 is now serving self

00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:42.859
 self-promoting

00:27:42.859 --> 00:27:44.139
 self-congratulating

00:27:44.139 --> 00:27:45.940
 self-deceiving

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:48.460
 Oliver Wendell Holmes says

00:27:48.460 --> 00:27:50.000
 sin has many tools

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:52.180
 but a lie is the handle

00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:54.099
 which fits them all

00:27:54.099 --> 00:27:57.440
 yes they gave graciously

00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:59.720
 yes they gave properly

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:01.900
 but they also gave corruptly

00:28:01.900 --> 00:28:03.380
 and then we find

00:28:03.380 --> 00:28:04.440
 in verse 7 to 11

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:05.360
 they gave collectively

00:28:05.360 --> 00:28:07.400
 Ananias and Sapphira

00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:08.100
 were a team

00:28:08.100 --> 00:28:09.640
 after an interval

00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:10.539
 of about three hours

00:28:10.539 --> 00:28:11.440
 his wife came in

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:12.820
 not knowing what had happened

00:28:12.820 --> 00:28:13.580
 and Peter said to her

00:28:13.580 --> 00:28:14.019
 tell me

00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:15.580
 whether you sold the land

00:28:15.580 --> 00:28:16.220
 for so much

00:28:16.220 --> 00:28:17.440
 and she said

00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:18.519
 yes for so much

00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:20.259
 but Peter said to her

00:28:20.259 --> 00:28:21.100
 how is it

00:28:21.100 --> 00:28:22.140
 that you have agreed

00:28:22.140 --> 00:28:22.900
 together

00:28:22.900 --> 00:28:24.860
 to test the spirit of the Lord

00:28:24.859 --> 00:28:26.259
 behold the feet of those

00:28:26.259 --> 00:28:27.479
 who have buried your husband

00:28:27.479 --> 00:28:28.099
 are at the door

00:28:28.099 --> 00:28:29.740
 and they will carry you out

00:28:29.740 --> 00:28:32.000
 immediately she fell down

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:33.379
 at his feet

00:28:33.379 --> 00:28:34.319
 and breathed her last

00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:36.279
 when the young men came in

00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:37.559
 they found her dead

00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:38.759
 just returned

00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:40.259
 they carried her out

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:40.859
 and buried her

00:28:40.859 --> 00:28:41.659
 beside her husband

00:28:41.659 --> 00:28:43.559
 and great fear

00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:45.019
 came upon the whole church

00:28:45.019 --> 00:28:46.459
 and upon all

00:28:46.459 --> 00:28:47.219
 who heard

00:28:47.219 --> 00:28:48.319
 of these things

00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:50.859
 Peter confronts

00:28:51.459 --> 00:28:52.000
 Sapphira

00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:53.740
 you sell the property

00:28:53.740 --> 00:28:54.279
 for so much

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:55.559
 yes for so much

00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:58.039
 why have you agreed together

00:28:58.039 --> 00:28:58.859
 Peter says

00:28:58.859 --> 00:29:00.160
 to test

00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:01.200
 the spirit

00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:01.980
 of the Lord

00:29:01.980 --> 00:29:03.640
 how did you think

00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:05.059
 you were gonna get away

00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:05.960
 with that

00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:06.859
 and that's the truth

00:29:06.859 --> 00:29:08.559
 the things we think

00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:09.599
 we're getting away with

00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:10.220
 God knows

00:29:10.220 --> 00:29:12.200
 God knows

00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:15.160
 oh that God would help us

00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:16.339
 to recognize

00:29:16.339 --> 00:29:17.079
 the significance

00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:18.400
 of holiness

00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:20.700
 to recognize

00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:22.280
 the significance

00:29:22.280 --> 00:29:23.340
 of testimony

00:29:23.340 --> 00:29:25.900
 to embrace

00:29:25.900 --> 00:29:28.259
 and to love

00:29:28.259 --> 00:29:29.780
 the glory of God

00:29:29.780 --> 00:29:30.540
 more than our

00:29:30.540 --> 00:29:32.140
 personal gratification

00:29:32.140 --> 00:29:34.580
 they did this together

00:29:34.580 --> 00:29:36.540
 they were agreed

00:29:36.540 --> 00:29:37.360
 we find that

00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:38.759
 in verse 2

00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:40.980
 sold a property

00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:42.080
 with his wife's

00:29:42.080 --> 00:29:42.640
 knowledge

00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:44.100
 with knowledge

00:29:44.100 --> 00:29:45.600
 and I find this

00:29:45.600 --> 00:29:46.960
 especially important

00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:49.019
 that we understand

00:29:49.019 --> 00:29:50.420
 the significance

00:29:50.420 --> 00:29:51.380
 of consent

00:29:51.380 --> 00:29:52.180
 see

00:29:52.180 --> 00:29:53.400
 Sapphira

00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:54.579
 didn't act

00:29:54.579 --> 00:29:56.380
 in a sense

00:29:56.380 --> 00:29:57.340
 she didn't

00:29:57.340 --> 00:29:58.480
 sell the property

00:29:58.480 --> 00:29:59.460
 she didn't

00:29:59.460 --> 00:30:00.759
 bring the proceeds

00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:01.920
 she was just

00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:02.980
 a consenting

00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:03.680
 individual

00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:05.079
 but she was just

00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:05.799
 as culpable

00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:08.700
 oh how important

00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:09.200
 it is for us

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:09.680
 to understand

00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:10.240
 the significance

00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:11.360
 of consenting

00:30:11.360 --> 00:30:13.180
 confirming

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:14.539
 laughing

00:30:14.539 --> 00:30:15.319
 scoffing

00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:16.439
 at people's

00:30:16.439 --> 00:30:17.019
 wickedness

00:30:17.019 --> 00:30:17.659
 as if it

00:30:17.659 --> 00:30:18.139
 didn't matter

00:30:18.139 --> 00:30:18.799
 and not

00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:19.439
 confronting

00:30:19.439 --> 00:30:21.439
 not addressing

00:30:21.439 --> 00:30:22.720
 not rebuking

00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:23.720
 just

00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:24.279
 haha

00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:25.240
 that's funny

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:27.799
 Paul says

00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:28.259
 in Ephesians

00:30:28.259 --> 00:30:28.839
 chapter 5

00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:29.759
 verses 7 to 12

00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:30.359
 he says this

00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:31.339
 therefore do not

00:30:31.339 --> 00:30:32.200
 become partners

00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:32.939
 with them

00:30:32.939 --> 00:30:34.859
 for at one time

00:30:34.859 --> 00:30:35.779
 you were darkness

00:30:35.779 --> 00:30:36.679
 but now you are

00:30:36.679 --> 00:30:37.359
 light in the Lord

00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:39.220
 walk as children

00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:39.960
 of light

00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:41.599
 for the fruit

00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:42.879
 of light

00:30:42.879 --> 00:30:43.379
 is found

00:30:43.379 --> 00:30:43.960
 in all that is

00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:44.439
 good and right

00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:44.920
 and true

00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:46.100
 and try to

00:30:46.100 --> 00:30:46.480
 discern

00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:47.080
 what is pleasing

00:30:47.080 --> 00:30:47.600
 to the Lord

00:30:47.600 --> 00:30:48.580
 and take

00:30:48.580 --> 00:30:49.660
 no part

00:30:49.660 --> 00:30:50.840
 in the unfruitful

00:30:50.840 --> 00:30:51.600
 works of darkness

00:30:51.600 --> 00:30:52.480
 but instead

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:53.460
 expose them

00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:55.400
 for it is even

00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:55.820
 shameful

00:30:55.820 --> 00:30:56.720
 to speak of those

00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:57.160
 things

00:30:57.160 --> 00:30:57.940
 that they do

00:30:57.940 --> 00:30:58.440
 in secret

00:30:58.440 --> 00:30:59.960
 don't even talk

00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:00.660
 about what they do

00:31:00.660 --> 00:31:02.140
 don't

00:31:02.140 --> 00:31:03.320
 don't make it

00:31:03.320 --> 00:31:04.259
 the news story

00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:04.759
 the part of your

00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:05.360
 news feed

00:31:05.360 --> 00:31:06.420
 don't delight

00:31:06.420 --> 00:31:07.440
 in people's sin

00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:08.759
 confront it

00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:09.920
 walk

00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:10.980
 in light

00:31:10.980 --> 00:31:14.259
 in the severe

00:31:14.259 --> 00:31:14.640
 judgment

00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:15.640
 that happens

00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:17.599
 to Sapphira

00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:19.559
 excuse me

00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:20.259
 to Ananias

00:31:20.259 --> 00:31:20.759
 will happen

00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:21.519
 to his wife

00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:23.200
 God is impartial

00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:23.880
 in his judgment

00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:25.900
 how must we

00:31:25.900 --> 00:31:27.700
 learn the significance

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:28.319
 I just want to

00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:29.180
 pause for a moment

00:31:29.180 --> 00:31:30.180
 how do we

00:31:30.180 --> 00:31:31.880
 handle sin

00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:33.019
 within our own

00:31:33.019 --> 00:31:33.420
 fellowship

00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:35.360
 what are the ways

00:31:35.360 --> 00:31:36.039
 in which we are

00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:37.360
 meant to address

00:31:37.360 --> 00:31:37.799
 sin

00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:38.819
 because as we see

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:39.639
 here in our

00:31:39.639 --> 00:31:41.059
 passage today

00:31:41.059 --> 00:31:41.799
 the significance

00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.359
 of sin

00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:43.419
 do not allow

00:31:43.419 --> 00:31:44.059
 sin to be

00:31:44.059 --> 00:31:44.659
 unaddressed

00:31:44.659 --> 00:31:46.119
 it will have

00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:47.399
 massive implications

00:31:47.399 --> 00:31:48.720
 not just for you

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:49.220
 but for

00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:50.059
 the body

00:31:50.059 --> 00:31:51.680
 well first

00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:52.519
 we need to

00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:53.240
 handle it personally

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:54.480
 and I'll go through

00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:55.000
 these quickly

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:55.740
 you know these

00:31:55.740 --> 00:31:56.299
 verses

00:31:56.299 --> 00:31:57.720
 Matthew chapter 18

00:31:57.720 --> 00:31:58.799
 verses 15 to 17

00:31:58.799 --> 00:31:59.480
 says this

00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:00.519
 if your brother

00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:01.759
 sins against you

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:02.700
 go and tell him

00:32:02.700 --> 00:32:03.220
 his fault

00:32:03.220 --> 00:32:04.419
 between you

00:32:04.419 --> 00:32:05.119
 and him alone

00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:06.519
 if he listens

00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:07.079
 to you

00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:07.939
 you have gained

00:32:07.939 --> 00:32:08.519
 your brother

00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:09.279
 if he does not

00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:09.619
 listen

00:32:09.619 --> 00:32:10.919
 you take one

00:32:10.919 --> 00:32:11.659
 or two others

00:32:11.659 --> 00:32:12.779
 along with you

00:32:12.779 --> 00:32:13.899
 that every charge

00:32:13.899 --> 00:32:14.539
 may be established

00:32:14.539 --> 00:32:15.199
 by the evidence

00:32:15.199 --> 00:32:15.799
 of two or three

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:16.199
 witnesses

00:32:16.199 --> 00:32:18.220
 take someone

00:32:18.220 --> 00:32:18.779
 with you

00:32:18.779 --> 00:32:19.639
 if he doesn't

00:32:19.639 --> 00:32:20.119
 hear you

00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:20.720
 directly

00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:21.619
 one on one

00:32:21.619 --> 00:32:22.319
 deal with it

00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:22.779
 personally

00:32:22.779 --> 00:32:23.759
 one on one

00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:25.079
 next deal

00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:25.740
 with it gently

00:32:25.740 --> 00:32:27.699
 Galatians chapter 6

00:32:27.699 --> 00:32:28.500
 verses 1 and 2

00:32:28.500 --> 00:32:29.279
 says brothers

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:30.220
 if anyone is caught

00:32:30.220 --> 00:32:31.240
 in any transgression

00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:32.899
 you who are spiritual

00:32:32.899 --> 00:32:34.399
 should restore him

00:32:34.399 --> 00:32:35.179
 in a spirit

00:32:35.179 --> 00:32:36.579
 of gentleness

00:32:36.579 --> 00:32:38.359
 keep watch

00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:38.919
 on yourself

00:32:38.919 --> 00:32:39.500
 lest you

00:32:39.500 --> 00:32:39.819
 too

00:32:39.819 --> 00:32:40.899
 be tempted

00:32:40.899 --> 00:32:42.480
 do it gently

00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:44.179
 do it graciously

00:32:44.179 --> 00:32:45.539
 and the reason

00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:46.079
 why we do it

00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:46.399
 gently

00:32:46.399 --> 00:32:47.019
 is because of

00:32:47.019 --> 00:32:47.220
 this

00:32:47.220 --> 00:32:48.240
 this third thing

00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:48.980
 we do it

00:32:48.980 --> 00:32:49.359
 humbly

00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:50.460
 because we

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:51.220
 recognize

00:32:51.220 --> 00:32:52.399
 that we

00:32:52.399 --> 00:32:52.859
 too

00:32:52.859 --> 00:32:53.519
 are just

00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:54.119
 as guilty

00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:55.119
 at times

00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:57.019
 it says

00:32:57.019 --> 00:32:57.480
 there at the

00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:58.079
 end of verse 2

00:32:58.079 --> 00:32:58.859
 keep watch

00:32:58.859 --> 00:32:59.500
 on yourself

00:32:59.500 --> 00:33:00.179
 lest you

00:33:00.179 --> 00:33:00.339
 too

00:33:00.339 --> 00:33:00.879
 be tempted

00:33:00.879 --> 00:33:02.059
 bear one

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:02.699
 another's burdens

00:33:02.699 --> 00:33:03.240
 and so fulfill

00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:04.039
 the law of Christ

00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:05.440
 for if anyone

00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:06.740
 thinks him

00:33:06.740 --> 00:33:07.500
 he is something

00:33:07.500 --> 00:33:08.619
 when he is nothing

00:33:08.619 --> 00:33:09.879
 he deceives himself

00:33:09.879 --> 00:33:12.139
 don't make too much

00:33:12.139 --> 00:33:12.639
 of yourself

00:33:12.639 --> 00:33:13.879
 don't think you're

00:33:13.879 --> 00:33:14.359
 beyond

00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:15.799
 beyond

00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:16.759
 the

00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:17.899
 the same issues

00:33:17.899 --> 00:33:18.960
 of sin

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:19.339
 don't

00:33:19.339 --> 00:33:19.740
 don't

00:33:19.740 --> 00:33:19.960
 don't

00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:20.599
 don't imagine

00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:21.759
 that you have

00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:23.039
 grown to such a way

00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:23.619
 that you can't

00:33:23.619 --> 00:33:24.200
 also fall

00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:26.440
 finally

00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:27.279
 direct

00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:28.359
 do it directly

00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:30.339
 as we've just seen

00:33:30.339 --> 00:33:31.399
 from Ephesians chapter 5

00:33:31.399 --> 00:33:31.879
 verse 11

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:33.300
 take no part

00:33:33.300 --> 00:33:33.980
 in the unfruitful

00:33:33.980 --> 00:33:34.680
 works of darkness

00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:35.280
 but rather

00:33:35.280 --> 00:33:36.800
 expose them

00:33:36.800 --> 00:33:38.160
 that word

00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:38.560
 expose

00:33:38.560 --> 00:33:39.340
 is the same

00:33:39.340 --> 00:33:39.640
 word

00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:40.280
 translated

00:33:40.280 --> 00:33:40.900
 rebuke

00:33:40.900 --> 00:33:42.160
 it's the same

00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:42.480
 word

00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:42.800
 we get

00:33:42.800 --> 00:33:43.240
 rebuke

00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:43.940
 from 1st

00:33:43.940 --> 00:33:44.180
 Timothy

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:44.840
 chapter 5

00:33:44.840 --> 00:33:45.080
 it says

00:33:45.080 --> 00:33:45.580
 ask for

00:33:45.580 --> 00:33:46.640
 all of those

00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:47.360
 who persist

00:33:47.360 --> 00:33:47.920
 in sin

00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:48.740
 rebuke

00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:50.360
 or expose

00:33:50.360 --> 00:33:51.400
 them

00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:52.080
 in the presence

00:33:52.080 --> 00:33:52.640
 of all

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:53.560
 so the rest

00:33:53.560 --> 00:33:54.420
 may fear

00:33:54.420 --> 00:33:57.080
 why

00:33:57.080 --> 00:33:58.760
 because we

00:33:58.760 --> 00:33:59.120
 care about

00:33:59.120 --> 00:33:59.600
 being a holy

00:33:59.600 --> 00:34:00.000
 church

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:01.500
 why

00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:02.700
 because we

00:34:02.700 --> 00:34:03.119
 care about

00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:03.680
 enjoying the

00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:04.019
 blessings

00:34:04.019 --> 00:34:04.579
 of God's

00:34:04.579 --> 00:34:04.859
 grace

00:34:04.859 --> 00:34:05.539
 among us

00:34:05.539 --> 00:34:06.740
 why

00:34:06.740 --> 00:34:07.160
 because

00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:08.019
 we want

00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:08.199
 to

00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:09.119
 participate

00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:09.820
 in the

00:34:09.820 --> 00:34:10.159
 work

00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:10.820
 of God

00:34:10.820 --> 00:34:11.780
 among this

00:34:11.780 --> 00:34:12.300
 fellowship

00:34:12.300 --> 00:34:13.400
 the way

00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:13.760
 that he

00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:14.619
 is helping

00:34:14.619 --> 00:34:15.400
 to establish

00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:16.420
 relationships

00:34:16.420 --> 00:34:17.500
 and help

00:34:17.500 --> 00:34:18.420
 the gospel

00:34:18.420 --> 00:34:19.099
 to flourish

00:34:19.099 --> 00:34:19.940
 among us

00:34:19.940 --> 00:34:21.039
 we do it

00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:21.400
 because we

00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:21.980
 want God's

00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:22.400
 grace

00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:23.039
 and God's

00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:23.420
 glory

00:34:23.420 --> 00:34:23.719
 to be

00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:24.000
 evident

00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:24.420
 here

00:34:24.420 --> 00:34:27.800
 then we

00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:28.059
 come to

00:34:28.059 --> 00:34:28.719
 some results

00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:30.000
 we find

00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:30.599
 some results

00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:31.159
 in chapter

00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:31.659
 5

00:34:31.659 --> 00:34:33.239
 verse 5

00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:34.039
 and then

00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:35.059
 verse 11

00:34:35.059 --> 00:34:36.299
 it resulted

00:34:36.299 --> 00:34:36.919
 in healthy

00:34:36.919 --> 00:34:37.480
 fear

00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:38.719
 it resulted

00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:39.119
 in healthy

00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:39.439
 fear

00:34:39.439 --> 00:34:40.819
 it says

00:34:40.819 --> 00:34:41.239
 this

00:34:41.239 --> 00:34:42.879
 at the end

00:34:42.879 --> 00:34:43.179
 of verse

00:34:43.179 --> 00:34:43.759
 5

00:34:43.759 --> 00:34:44.619
 and great

00:34:44.619 --> 00:34:45.839
 fear came

00:34:45.839 --> 00:34:47.039
 upon all

00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:47.359
 who heard

00:34:47.359 --> 00:34:47.619
 it

00:34:47.619 --> 00:34:49.480
 verse 11

00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:50.319
 and great

00:34:50.319 --> 00:34:50.980
 fear came

00:34:50.980 --> 00:34:51.480
 upon the

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:52.259
 whole church

00:34:52.259 --> 00:34:53.099
 and upon

00:34:53.099 --> 00:34:53.919
 all who

00:34:53.919 --> 00:34:54.759
 heard of

00:34:54.759 --> 00:34:55.519
 these things

00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:57.619
 must be

00:34:57.619 --> 00:34:57.880
 noted

00:34:57.880 --> 00:34:58.579
 that this

00:34:58.579 --> 00:34:59.539
 is the

00:34:59.539 --> 00:35:00.420
 first time

00:35:00.420 --> 00:35:00.920
 the word

00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:01.579
 church

00:35:01.579 --> 00:35:02.940
 is used

00:35:02.940 --> 00:35:03.420
 in the

00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:03.679
 book of

00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:04.000
 Acts

00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:05.219
 and so

00:35:05.219 --> 00:35:05.679
 the first

00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:06.000
 time

00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:06.579
 the word

00:35:06.579 --> 00:35:07.039
 church

00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:07.659
 is used

00:35:07.659 --> 00:35:08.079
 in the

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:08.300
 book of

00:35:08.300 --> 00:35:08.440
 Acts

00:35:08.440 --> 00:35:08.639
 I don't

00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:08.739
 think

00:35:08.739 --> 00:35:09.119
 it's any

00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:09.539
 accident

00:35:09.539 --> 00:35:10.179
 for us

00:35:10.179 --> 00:35:10.659
 to see

00:35:10.659 --> 00:35:11.340
 the severity

00:35:11.340 --> 00:35:12.559
 of God

00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:12.960
 taking

00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:13.820
 seriously

00:35:13.820 --> 00:35:14.619
 holiness

00:35:14.619 --> 00:35:15.119
 among his

00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:15.480
 people

00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:17.719
 this was a

00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:18.099
 time of

00:35:18.099 --> 00:35:18.500
 judgment

00:35:18.500 --> 00:35:20.039
 a time of

00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:20.440
 punishment

00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:21.239
 because this

00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:21.940
 was a time

00:35:21.940 --> 00:35:23.000
 of God's

00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:23.659
 extraordinary

00:35:23.659 --> 00:35:24.800
 outpouring

00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:25.480
 of his

00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:25.820
 spirit

00:35:25.820 --> 00:35:26.320
 among his

00:35:26.320 --> 00:35:26.780
 people

00:35:26.780 --> 00:35:29.500
 God

00:35:29.500 --> 00:35:29.860
 essentially

00:35:29.860 --> 00:35:30.440
 says you

00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:31.100
 will not

00:35:31.100 --> 00:35:32.600
 misrepresent

00:35:32.600 --> 00:35:33.420
 the Holy

00:35:33.420 --> 00:35:33.800
 Spirit

00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:34.940
 you will

00:35:34.940 --> 00:35:35.400
 not

00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:36.019
 pervert

00:35:36.019 --> 00:35:36.320
 the

00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:36.860
 spirit's

00:35:36.860 --> 00:35:37.300
 power

00:35:37.300 --> 00:35:40.300
 I wonder

00:35:40.300 --> 00:35:40.780
 how important

00:35:40.780 --> 00:35:41.160
 it is

00:35:41.160 --> 00:35:41.700
 for us

00:35:41.700 --> 00:35:43.260
 to uphold

00:35:43.260 --> 00:35:43.800
 the holiness

00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:44.920
 of God

00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:45.340
 among

00:35:45.340 --> 00:35:46.900
 our fellowship

00:35:46.900 --> 00:35:49.340
 in a

00:35:49.340 --> 00:35:49.580
 previous

00:35:49.580 --> 00:35:49.980
 church

00:35:49.980 --> 00:35:50.260
 that I

00:35:50.260 --> 00:35:50.620
 was at

00:35:50.620 --> 00:35:52.480
 we

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:52.880
 recognized

00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:53.320
 as a

00:35:53.320 --> 00:35:53.539
 church

00:35:53.539 --> 00:35:53.780
 that we

00:35:53.780 --> 00:35:54.080
 wanted

00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:55.139
 God

00:35:55.139 --> 00:35:55.480
 to do

00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:55.699
 great

00:35:55.699 --> 00:35:56.000
 things

00:35:56.000 --> 00:35:56.139
 we

00:35:56.139 --> 00:35:56.299
 wanted

00:35:56.299 --> 00:35:56.559
 God

00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:56.699
 to

00:35:56.699 --> 00:35:57.219
 grow

00:35:57.219 --> 00:35:57.659
 our

00:35:57.659 --> 00:35:57.960
 fellowship

00:35:57.960 --> 00:35:58.139
 we

00:35:58.139 --> 00:35:58.279
 want

00:35:58.279 --> 00:35:58.360
 to

00:35:58.360 --> 00:35:58.519
 see

00:35:58.519 --> 00:35:58.679
 this

00:35:58.679 --> 00:35:59.000
 great

00:35:59.000 --> 00:35:59.319
 grace

00:35:59.319 --> 00:35:59.679
 we

00:35:59.679 --> 00:35:59.860
 were

00:35:59.860 --> 00:36:00.199
 we

00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:00.340
 were

00:36:00.340 --> 00:36:00.599
 also

00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:01.039
 preaching

00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:01.460
 through

00:36:01.460 --> 00:36:02.039
 parts

00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:02.400
 of the

00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:02.639
 book of

00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:02.880
 Acts

00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:03.259
 and we

00:36:03.259 --> 00:36:03.599
 came to

00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:03.960
 this part

00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:04.360
 we want

00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:04.579
 to see

00:36:04.579 --> 00:36:04.980
 great

00:36:04.980 --> 00:36:05.460
 grace

00:36:05.460 --> 00:36:06.299
 among us

00:36:06.299 --> 00:36:06.900
 and so

00:36:06.900 --> 00:36:07.340
 we did

00:36:07.340 --> 00:36:07.519
 this

00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:08.059
 we prayed

00:36:08.059 --> 00:36:08.819
 for God's

00:36:08.819 --> 00:36:09.099
 holiness

00:36:09.099 --> 00:36:09.699
 God

00:36:09.699 --> 00:36:10.460
 make us

00:36:10.460 --> 00:36:11.019
 a holy

00:36:11.019 --> 00:36:11.719
 church

00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:12.519
 and guess

00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:12.960
 what God

00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:13.279
 did

00:36:13.279 --> 00:36:16.659
 without

00:36:16.659 --> 00:36:17.679
 soliciting

00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:19.599
 the people

00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:20.099
 without

00:36:20.099 --> 00:36:20.980
 exploring

00:36:20.980 --> 00:36:21.519
 without

00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:22.440
 investigating

00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:23.240
 without

00:36:23.240 --> 00:36:23.980
 examining

00:36:23.980 --> 00:36:24.619
 God

00:36:24.619 --> 00:36:25.139
 allowed

00:36:25.139 --> 00:36:25.500
 us

00:36:25.500 --> 00:36:25.820
 to

00:36:25.820 --> 00:36:26.220
 see

00:36:26.220 --> 00:36:26.760
 these

00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:27.099
 things

00:36:27.099 --> 00:36:27.240
 that

00:36:27.240 --> 00:36:27.300
 have

00:36:27.300 --> 00:36:27.400
 been

00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:27.860
 around

00:36:27.860 --> 00:36:28.400
 for

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:29.240
 decades

00:36:29.240 --> 00:36:29.820
 begin

00:36:29.820 --> 00:36:30.019
 to

00:36:30.019 --> 00:36:30.300
 show

00:36:30.300 --> 00:36:30.519
 up

00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:30.639
 in

00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:30.760
 our

00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:31.139
 fellowship

00:36:31.139 --> 00:36:34.200
 I won't

00:36:34.200 --> 00:36:34.360
 be

00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:35.019
 I'll be

00:36:35.019 --> 00:36:35.220
 very

00:36:35.220 --> 00:36:35.619
 general

00:36:35.619 --> 00:36:38.519
 there was

00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:38.920
 a marriage

00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:39.179
 that was

00:36:39.179 --> 00:36:39.720
 falling apart

00:36:39.720 --> 00:36:41.039
 of some

00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:41.559
 key leaders

00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:41.820
 in our

00:36:41.820 --> 00:36:42.119
 church

00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:43.360
 that became

00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:43.840
 very clear

00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:44.940
 there was

00:36:44.940 --> 00:36:45.380
 a deacon

00:36:45.380 --> 00:36:45.720
 in our

00:36:45.720 --> 00:36:45.980
 church

00:36:45.980 --> 00:36:46.260
 who had

00:36:46.260 --> 00:36:46.820
 embezzled

00:36:46.820 --> 00:36:47.380
 around

00:36:47.380 --> 00:36:47.820
 fifty

00:36:47.820 --> 00:36:48.300
 thousand

00:36:48.300 --> 00:36:48.900
 dollars

00:36:48.900 --> 00:36:50.099
 over the

00:36:50.099 --> 00:36:50.579
 course of

00:36:50.579 --> 00:36:51.240
 ten years

00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:52.179
 there was

00:36:52.179 --> 00:36:52.399
 another

00:36:52.399 --> 00:36:52.859
 Christian

00:36:52.859 --> 00:36:53.099
 leader

00:36:53.099 --> 00:36:53.399
 in our

00:36:53.399 --> 00:36:53.659
 church

00:36:53.659 --> 00:36:54.219
 who had

00:36:54.219 --> 00:36:55.239
 misappropriated

00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:55.500
 about

00:36:55.500 --> 00:36:56.099
 thirty five

00:36:56.099 --> 00:36:56.479
 thousand

00:36:56.479 --> 00:36:56.919
 dollars

00:36:56.919 --> 00:36:57.379
 of money

00:36:57.379 --> 00:36:59.000
 we prayed

00:36:59.000 --> 00:36:59.899
 oh God

00:36:59.899 --> 00:37:00.699
 we want

00:37:00.699 --> 00:37:01.719
 great grace

00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:02.679
 to be evident

00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:03.119
 here

00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:04.539
 so we know

00:37:04.539 --> 00:37:05.199
 we need to be

00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:05.619
 a holy

00:37:05.619 --> 00:37:06.179
 church

00:37:06.179 --> 00:37:07.219
 and that's

00:37:07.219 --> 00:37:07.639
 what God

00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:08.000
 will do

00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:09.839
 God answers

00:37:09.839 --> 00:37:10.299
 that prayer

00:37:10.299 --> 00:37:11.059
 he delights

00:37:11.059 --> 00:37:11.639
 in making

00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:12.319
 a holy

00:37:12.319 --> 00:37:12.659
 people

00:37:12.659 --> 00:37:13.299
 it starts

00:37:13.299 --> 00:37:13.879
 here

00:37:13.879 --> 00:37:14.599
 by the way

00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:16.119
 it starts

00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:17.119
 personally

00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:18.539
 as God

00:37:18.539 --> 00:37:19.059
 makes a

00:37:19.059 --> 00:37:19.319
 holy

00:37:19.319 --> 00:37:20.039
 person

00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:21.199
 so that

00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:21.480
 when

00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:21.980
 we

00:37:21.980 --> 00:37:22.759
 collectively

00:37:22.759 --> 00:37:23.460
 come

00:37:23.460 --> 00:37:23.940
 together

00:37:23.940 --> 00:37:24.440
 we're

00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:24.719
 a holy

00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:25.239
 church

00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:27.579
 do this

00:37:27.579 --> 00:37:28.360
 for yourself

00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:29.340
 Paul encourages

00:37:29.340 --> 00:37:29.820
 the church

00:37:29.820 --> 00:37:30.579
 examine

00:37:30.579 --> 00:37:31.199
 yourself

00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:32.679
 test

00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:33.259
 yourself

00:37:33.259 --> 00:37:33.920
 whether

00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:34.119
 you're

00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:34.320
 in the

00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:34.659
 faith

00:37:34.659 --> 00:37:35.380
 whether

00:37:35.380 --> 00:37:36.579
 your life

00:37:36.579 --> 00:37:37.460
 is lining

00:37:37.460 --> 00:37:37.960
 up

00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:38.440
 to the

00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:38.800
 standard

00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:39.139
 that God

00:37:39.139 --> 00:37:39.500
 has set

00:37:39.500 --> 00:37:39.820
 that the

00:37:39.820 --> 00:37:40.659
 Holy Spirit

00:37:40.659 --> 00:37:41.920
 is working

00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:43.759
 you to

00:37:43.759 --> 00:37:44.039

00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:45.360
 and by

00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:45.679
 God's

00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:46.039
 grace

00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:47.420
 if that

00:37:47.420 --> 00:37:47.920
 is your

00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:48.739
 desire

00:37:48.739 --> 00:37:49.139
 God

00:37:49.139 --> 00:37:49.480
 will

00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:50.059
 reveal

00:37:50.059 --> 00:37:51.019
 areas

00:37:51.019 --> 00:37:51.300
 of your

00:37:52.980 --> 00:37:53.179
 will

00:37:53.179 --> 00:37:53.699
 forgive

00:37:53.699 --> 00:37:54.059
 your

00:37:54.059 --> 00:37:54.400

00:37:54.400 --> 00:37:55.000
 as you

00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:55.480
 repent

00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:56.599
 to him

00:37:56.599 --> 00:37:57.340
 and turn

00:37:57.340 --> 00:37:57.719
 away

00:37:57.719 --> 00:37:58.279
 from that

00:37:58.279 --> 00:37:58.619
 sin

00:37:58.619 --> 00:37:59.239
 and he

00:37:59.239 --> 00:37:59.779
 will help

00:37:59.779 --> 00:38:00.539
 to make

00:38:02.380 --> 00:38:02.739

00:38:03.739 --> 00:38:04.219
 so that

00:38:04.219 --> 00:38:04.539
 we can

00:38:04.539 --> 00:38:04.860
 be the

00:38:04.860 --> 00:38:05.099

00:38:05.259 --> 00:38:05.539
 church

00:38:05.539 --> 00:38:05.719
 that

00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:06.360
 enjoys

00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:06.920
 the

00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:12.519

00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:13.920
 well it

00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:14.659
 resulted

00:38:14.659 --> 00:38:15.099
 in a

00:38:15.300 --> 00:38:15.559
 fear

00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:15.800
 but it

00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:16.059
 also

00:38:16.059 --> 00:38:16.559
 resulted

00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:17.079
 in

00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:17.679
 greater

00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:18.639
 grace

00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:18.920
 and I

00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:19.159
 think

00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:19.579
 this is

00:38:19.579 --> 00:38:20.759
 fabulous

00:38:20.759 --> 00:38:22.019
 greater

00:38:22.019 --> 00:38:22.539
 grace

00:38:22.539 --> 00:38:22.820
 now

00:38:22.820 --> 00:38:23.280
 in

00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:23.699
 verses

00:38:23.699 --> 00:38:24.139
 12

00:38:24.139 --> 00:38:24.619
 to 16

00:38:24.619 --> 00:38:24.860
 I'm

00:38:24.860 --> 00:38:25.000
 going to

00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:25.199
 move

00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:25.360
 through

00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:25.619
 these

00:38:25.619 --> 00:38:26.360
 quickly

00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:26.820
 so that

00:38:26.820 --> 00:38:27.059
 we can

00:38:27.059 --> 00:38:27.300
 see

00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:27.460
 them

00:38:27.460 --> 00:38:27.599
 but

00:38:27.599 --> 00:38:28.039
 I want

00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:28.360
 to read

00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:28.559
 this

00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:28.860
 for us

00:38:28.860 --> 00:38:28.980
 and I

00:38:28.980 --> 00:38:29.079
 want

00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:29.280
 you to

00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:29.599
 see

00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:29.980
 the

00:38:29.980 --> 00:38:30.300
 number

00:38:30.300 --> 00:38:30.539
 of

00:38:30.539 --> 00:38:30.940
 ways

00:38:30.940 --> 00:38:31.139
 in

00:38:31.139 --> 00:38:31.400
 which

00:38:31.400 --> 00:38:31.759
 the

00:38:31.759 --> 00:38:32.119
 grace

00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:32.320
 of

00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:32.519
 God

00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:32.699
 is

00:38:32.699 --> 00:38:32.980
 just

00:38:32.980 --> 00:38:34.019
 exploding

00:38:34.019 --> 00:38:34.340
 among

00:38:34.340 --> 00:38:34.579
 this

00:38:34.579 --> 00:38:35.639
 group

00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:35.800
 of

00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:36.300
 individuals

00:38:36.300 --> 00:38:37.440
 it

00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:37.559
 says

00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:37.739
 now

00:38:37.739 --> 00:38:38.239
 many

00:38:38.239 --> 00:38:39.119
 signs

00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:39.719
 and

00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:40.300
 wonders

00:38:40.300 --> 00:38:40.599
 were

00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:41.239
 regularly

00:38:41.239 --> 00:38:41.699
 done

00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:42.840
 people

00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:43.619
 by the

00:38:43.619 --> 00:38:43.880
 hands

00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:44.000
 of

00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:44.099
 the

00:38:44.099 --> 00:38:44.539
 apostles

00:38:44.539 --> 00:38:45.739
 and

00:38:45.739 --> 00:38:45.820
 they

00:38:45.820 --> 00:38:45.940
 were

00:38:45.940 --> 00:38:46.199
 all

00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:46.599
 together

00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:46.860
 in

00:38:46.860 --> 00:38:47.320
 Solomon's

00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:47.780
 portico

00:38:47.780 --> 00:38:48.739
 none

00:38:48.739 --> 00:38:48.960
 of the

00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:49.199
 rest

00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:49.739
 dared

00:38:49.739 --> 00:38:50.340
 join

00:38:50.340 --> 00:38:50.519
 them

00:38:50.519 --> 00:38:50.860
 I like

00:38:50.860 --> 00:38:51.219
 that

00:38:51.219 --> 00:38:52.099
 but

00:38:52.099 --> 00:38:52.239
 the

00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:52.559
 people

00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:52.920
 held

00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:53.059
 them

00:38:53.059 --> 00:38:53.179
 in

00:38:53.179 --> 00:38:53.340
 high

00:38:53.340 --> 00:38:53.800
 esteem

00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:54.199
 and

00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:54.699
 more

00:38:54.699 --> 00:38:55.259
 than

00:38:55.259 --> 00:38:55.739
 ever

00:38:55.739 --> 00:38:56.619
 believers

00:38:56.619 --> 00:38:57.259
 were added

00:38:57.259 --> 00:38:57.619
 to the

00:38:57.619 --> 00:38:57.880
 Lord

00:38:57.880 --> 00:38:59.059
 multitudes

00:38:59.059 --> 00:38:59.519
 of both

00:38:59.519 --> 00:38:59.940
 men

00:38:59.940 --> 00:39:00.380
 and

00:39:00.380 --> 00:39:00.679
 women

00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:01.940
 so

00:39:01.940 --> 00:39:02.119
 they

00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:02.480
 even

00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:02.820
 carried

00:39:02.820 --> 00:39:03.019
 out

00:39:03.019 --> 00:39:03.179
 the

00:39:03.179 --> 00:39:03.440
 sick

00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:03.599
 into

00:39:03.599 --> 00:39:03.780
 the

00:39:03.780 --> 00:39:04.099
 streets

00:39:04.099 --> 00:39:04.280
 and

00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:04.519
 laid

00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:04.679
 them

00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:04.900
 on

00:39:04.900 --> 00:39:05.259
 cots

00:39:05.259 --> 00:39:05.460
 and

00:39:05.460 --> 00:39:05.780
 mats

00:39:05.780 --> 00:39:06.239
 that

00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:06.460
 as

00:39:06.460 --> 00:39:06.739
 Peter

00:39:06.739 --> 00:39:07.099
 came

00:39:07.099 --> 00:39:07.739
 by

00:39:07.739 --> 00:39:08.239
 at

00:39:08.239 --> 00:39:08.519
 least

00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:08.780
 his

00:39:08.780 --> 00:39:09.259
 shadow

00:39:09.259 --> 00:39:09.739
 might

00:39:09.739 --> 00:39:10.039
 fall

00:39:10.039 --> 00:39:10.219
 on

00:39:10.219 --> 00:39:10.379
 some

00:39:10.379 --> 00:39:10.479
 of

00:39:10.479 --> 00:39:10.659
 them

00:39:10.659 --> 00:39:11.719
 the

00:39:11.719 --> 00:39:11.959
 people

00:39:11.959 --> 00:39:12.219
 also

00:39:12.219 --> 00:39:12.639
 gathered

00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:12.859
 from

00:39:12.859 --> 00:39:13.000
 the

00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:13.319
 towns

00:39:13.319 --> 00:39:13.679
 around

00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:14.139
 Jerusalem

00:39:14.139 --> 00:39:14.819
 bringing

00:39:14.819 --> 00:39:15.099
 the

00:39:15.099 --> 00:39:15.399
 sick

00:39:15.399 --> 00:39:15.659
 and

00:39:15.659 --> 00:39:15.959
 those

00:39:15.959 --> 00:39:16.459
 afflicted

00:39:16.459 --> 00:39:16.619
 with

00:39:16.619 --> 00:39:17.039
 unclean

00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:17.479
 spirits

00:39:17.479 --> 00:39:18.000
 and

00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:18.359
 they

00:39:18.359 --> 00:39:19.000
 were

00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:19.599
 all

00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:20.399
 healed

00:39:20.399 --> 00:39:21.439
 wow

00:39:21.439 --> 00:39:23.019
 what a

00:39:23.019 --> 00:39:24.759
 church

00:39:24.759 --> 00:39:26.000
 what a

00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:26.479
 movement

00:39:26.479 --> 00:39:27.519
 greater

00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:28.099
 grace

00:39:28.099 --> 00:39:28.479
 well

00:39:28.479 --> 00:39:29.879
 how do

00:39:29.879 --> 00:39:30.239
 we see

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.579
 this

00:39:30.579 --> 00:39:30.939
 greater

00:39:30.939 --> 00:39:31.419
 grace

00:39:31.419 --> 00:39:31.839
 we see

00:39:31.839 --> 00:39:32.059
 this

00:39:32.059 --> 00:39:32.519
 growing

00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:33.000
 evidence

00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:33.179
 of

00:39:33.179 --> 00:39:33.419
 God's

00:39:33.419 --> 00:39:33.679
 power

00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:34.239
 that's

00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:34.519
 first

00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:34.799
 that's

00:39:34.799 --> 00:39:34.899
 the

00:39:34.899 --> 00:39:35.099
 first

00:39:35.099 --> 00:39:35.339
 thing

00:39:35.339 --> 00:39:36.039
 this

00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:36.439
 growing

00:39:36.439 --> 00:39:36.859
 evidence

00:39:36.859 --> 00:39:37.019
 of

00:39:37.019 --> 00:39:37.299
 God's

00:39:37.299 --> 00:39:37.500
 power

00:39:37.500 --> 00:39:37.939
 I love

00:39:37.939 --> 00:39:38.199
 how

00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:39.099
 Luke

00:39:39.099 --> 00:39:39.399
 puts

00:39:39.400 --> 00:39:39.639
 this

00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:40.240
 now

00:39:40.240 --> 00:39:40.780
 many

00:39:40.780 --> 00:39:41.180
 signs

00:39:41.180 --> 00:39:41.320
 were

00:39:41.320 --> 00:39:41.579
 done

00:39:41.579 --> 00:39:42.639
 and

00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:42.860
 not

00:39:42.860 --> 00:39:43.200
 just

00:39:43.200 --> 00:39:43.579
 any

00:39:43.579 --> 00:39:44.039
 kinds

00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:44.220
 of

00:39:44.220 --> 00:39:44.639
 signs

00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:45.139
 that

00:39:45.139 --> 00:39:46.420
 now

00:39:46.420 --> 00:39:46.780
 have

00:39:46.780 --> 00:39:47.099
 taken

00:39:47.099 --> 00:39:47.280
 it

00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:47.400
 to

00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:47.660
 another

00:39:47.660 --> 00:39:48.340
 step

00:39:48.340 --> 00:39:48.760
 as

00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:48.860
 you

00:39:48.860 --> 00:39:49.160
 find

00:39:49.160 --> 00:39:49.440
 there

00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:49.700
 in

00:39:49.700 --> 00:39:49.900
 verse

00:39:49.900 --> 00:39:50.420
 15

00:39:50.420 --> 00:39:50.900
 so

00:39:50.900 --> 00:39:51.079
 that

00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:51.619
 people

00:39:51.619 --> 00:39:51.860
 are

00:39:51.860 --> 00:39:52.400
 flooding

00:39:52.400 --> 00:39:52.680
 into

00:39:52.680 --> 00:39:52.880
 the

00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:53.220
 streets

00:39:53.220 --> 00:39:53.660
 they're

00:39:53.660 --> 00:39:53.980
 laying

00:39:53.980 --> 00:39:54.160
 their

00:39:54.160 --> 00:39:54.460
 people

00:39:54.460 --> 00:39:54.860
 down

00:39:54.860 --> 00:39:55.280
 and

00:39:55.280 --> 00:39:55.619
 just

00:39:55.619 --> 00:39:55.780
 so

00:39:55.780 --> 00:39:55.880
 that

00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:56.039
 the

00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:56.539
 shadow

00:39:56.539 --> 00:39:56.780
 of

00:39:56.780 --> 00:39:57.000
 Peter

00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:57.260
 might

00:39:57.260 --> 00:39:57.639
 cross

00:39:57.639 --> 00:39:57.980
 upon

00:39:57.980 --> 00:39:58.220
 them

00:39:58.220 --> 00:39:58.579
 and

00:39:58.579 --> 00:39:58.780
 they

00:39:58.780 --> 00:39:58.980
 can

00:39:58.980 --> 00:39:59.220
 be

00:39:59.220 --> 00:39:59.539
 healed

00:41:45.720 --> 00:41:45.880
 not

 they

00:41:48.860 --> 00:41:49.760
 there's

00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:50.039
 something

00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:50.460
 happening

00:41:50.460 --> 00:41:50.860
 in

 it

00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:53.780
 is

00:41:56.200 --> 00:41:56.380
 I

00:41:56.380 --> 00:41:56.660
 figured

00:41:56.660 --> 00:41:56.820
 it

00:41:56.820 --> 00:41:57.079
 out

 multitudes

 were

 more

 ever

00:42:39.320 --> 00:42:40.240
 so

00:42:40.240 --> 00:42:40.640
 many

00:42:40.640 --> 00:42:40.860
 that

00:42:40.860 --> 00:42:42.000
 Luke

00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:42.300
 doesn't

00:42:42.300 --> 00:42:42.460
 even

00:42:42.460 --> 00:42:42.780
 put a

00:42:42.780 --> 00:42:43.079
 number

00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:43.380
 on

00:42:43.380 --> 00:42:43.620
 it

00:42:43.620 --> 00:42:45.140
 it

00:42:45.140 --> 00:42:45.300
 was

00:42:45.300 --> 00:42:46.019
 exploding

00:42:46.019 --> 00:42:46.240
 this

00:42:46.240 --> 00:42:46.519
 church

00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:46.660
 was

00:42:46.660 --> 00:42:46.900
 going

00:42:46.900 --> 00:42:47.660
 bananas

00:42:47.660 --> 00:42:49.019
 that's

00:42:49.019 --> 00:42:49.160
 not

00:42:49.160 --> 00:42:49.280
 what

00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:49.400
 you

00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:49.920
 expect

00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:50.220
 when

00:42:50.220 --> 00:42:50.760
 discipline

00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:51.380
 happens

00:42:51.380 --> 00:42:52.380
 that's

00:42:52.380 --> 00:42:52.519
 not

00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:52.680
 what

00:42:52.680 --> 00:42:52.800
 you

00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:53.360
 expect

00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:54.140
 when

00:42:54.139 --> 00:42:54.799
 sin

00:42:54.799 --> 00:42:55.119
 has

00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:55.219
 to

00:42:55.219 --> 00:42:55.379
 be

00:42:55.379 --> 00:42:55.659
 called

00:42:55.659 --> 00:42:55.960
 out

00:42:55.960 --> 00:42:56.159
 but

00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:57.099
 it

00:42:57.099 --> 00:42:57.239
 was

00:42:57.239 --> 00:42:57.400
 the

00:42:57.400 --> 00:42:57.859
 kind

00:42:57.859 --> 00:42:59.099
 of

00:42:59.099 --> 00:43:00.079
 punishment

00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:00.339
 that

00:43:00.339 --> 00:43:00.579
 God

00:43:00.579 --> 00:43:00.980
 brought

00:43:00.980 --> 00:43:01.299
 on

00:43:01.299 --> 00:43:01.500
 this

00:43:01.500 --> 00:43:02.019
 church

00:43:02.019 --> 00:43:02.980
 for the

00:43:02.980 --> 00:43:03.319
 sake

00:43:03.319 --> 00:43:04.039
 of

00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:04.599
 integrity

00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:04.599


00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:05.379
 purity!

00:43:05.379 --> 00:43:05.440
 clarity!

00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:06.659
 clarity!

00:43:06.659 --> 00:43:07.199
 of who

00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:07.739
 he was!

00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:09.119
 so

00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:10.500
 the church

00:43:10.500 --> 00:43:11.659
 is exploding!

00:43:12.659 --> 00:43:13.379
 and I love

00:43:13.379 --> 00:43:14.059
 how it says

00:43:14.059 --> 00:43:14.920
 men and

00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:15.319
 women

00:43:15.319 --> 00:43:16.000
 were being

00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:16.319
 added

00:43:16.319 --> 00:43:16.940
 up to this

00:43:16.940 --> 00:43:17.159
 point

00:43:17.159 --> 00:43:17.599
 we saw

00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:18.519
 3,000

00:43:18.519 --> 00:43:18.879
 men

00:43:18.879 --> 00:43:19.359
 and

00:43:19.359 --> 00:43:20.319
 5,000

00:43:20.319 --> 00:43:20.599
 men

00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:21.139
 and now

00:43:21.139 --> 00:43:21.759
 multitudes

00:43:21.759 --> 00:43:22.199
 of men

00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:22.699
 and women

00:43:22.699 --> 00:43:23.639
 are part

00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:24.419
 of this

00:43:24.419 --> 00:43:24.779
 number

00:43:24.779 --> 00:43:26.899
 we see

00:43:26.899 --> 00:43:28.480
 that there's

00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:28.859
 also a

00:43:28.859 --> 00:43:29.059
 growing

00:43:29.059 --> 00:43:29.519
 witness

00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:30.599
 you see

00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:30.859
 that in

00:43:30.859 --> 00:43:31.439
 verse 16

00:43:31.439 --> 00:43:32.539
 the people

00:43:32.539 --> 00:43:32.939
 gathered

00:43:32.939 --> 00:43:33.239
 from

00:43:33.239 --> 00:43:34.359
 the towns

00:43:34.359 --> 00:43:34.939
 around

00:43:34.939 --> 00:43:35.539
 Jerusalem

00:43:35.539 --> 00:43:35.879
 now

00:43:35.879 --> 00:43:36.460
 we're

00:43:36.460 --> 00:43:36.719
 seeing

00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:36.960
 this

00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:37.379
 church

00:43:37.379 --> 00:43:38.019
 and its

00:43:38.019 --> 00:43:38.399
 influence

00:43:38.399 --> 00:43:38.699
 beginning

00:43:38.699 --> 00:43:39.519
 to expand

00:43:39.519 --> 00:43:40.460
 Jesus

00:43:40.460 --> 00:43:41.179
 had promised

00:43:41.179 --> 00:43:41.559
 that

00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:42.079
 you'll be

00:43:42.079 --> 00:43:42.659
 my witnesses

00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:43.460
 in Jerusalem

00:43:43.460 --> 00:43:44.980
 and Judea

00:43:44.980 --> 00:43:45.559
 which is the

00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:45.939
 region

00:43:45.939 --> 00:43:46.259
 kind of

00:43:46.259 --> 00:43:46.460
 just

00:43:46.460 --> 00:43:47.259
 around

00:43:47.259 --> 00:43:47.779
 Jerusalem

00:43:47.779 --> 00:43:48.319
 and here

00:43:48.319 --> 00:43:48.739
 it is

00:43:48.739 --> 00:43:49.500
 the towns

00:43:49.500 --> 00:43:49.899
 around

00:43:49.899 --> 00:43:50.500
 Jerusalem

00:43:50.500 --> 00:43:51.199
 God

00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:51.399
 is

00:43:51.399 --> 00:43:51.879
 doing

00:43:51.879 --> 00:43:52.079
 a

00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:52.500
 work

00:43:52.500 --> 00:43:54.079
 the

00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:54.439
 church

00:43:54.439 --> 00:43:54.779
 is

00:43:54.779 --> 00:43:55.159
 growing

00:43:55.159 --> 00:43:55.739
 the witness

00:43:55.739 --> 00:43:55.959
 is

00:43:55.959 --> 00:43:56.599
 expanding

00:43:56.599 --> 00:43:58.039
 and notice

00:43:58.039 --> 00:43:58.679
 verse 16

00:43:58.679 --> 00:43:59.319
 this growing

00:43:59.319 --> 00:44:00.239
 compassion

00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:01.479
 growing

00:44:01.479 --> 00:44:02.039
 compassion

00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:03.479
 the people

00:44:03.479 --> 00:44:04.559
 are gathered

00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:04.939
 from the

00:44:04.939 --> 00:44:05.399
 towns of

00:44:05.399 --> 00:44:05.639
 Jerusalem

00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:05.839
 what are

00:44:05.839 --> 00:44:06.239
 they doing

00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:07.099
 they're

00:44:07.099 --> 00:44:07.459
 bringing

00:44:07.459 --> 00:44:08.379
 the sick

00:44:08.379 --> 00:44:09.459
 and those

00:44:09.459 --> 00:44:10.039
 afflicted

00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:10.619
 with unclean

00:44:10.619 --> 00:44:11.119
 spirits

00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:12.059
 and they

00:44:12.059 --> 00:44:12.979
 were all

00:44:12.979 --> 00:44:13.819
 healed

00:44:13.819 --> 00:44:16.899
 there was

00:44:16.900 --> 00:44:18.820
 a sympathy

00:44:18.820 --> 00:44:19.760
 it was

00:44:19.760 --> 00:44:20.380
 an interest

00:44:20.380 --> 00:44:21.660
 in hurting

00:44:21.660 --> 00:44:22.119
 people

00:44:22.119 --> 00:44:23.480
 it was a

00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:23.820
 sense of

00:44:23.820 --> 00:44:24.400
 compassion

00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:25.720
 a hurting

00:44:25.720 --> 00:44:26.180
 with those

00:44:26.180 --> 00:44:26.539
 who were

00:44:26.539 --> 00:44:27.180
 hurting

00:44:27.180 --> 00:44:27.840
 and desiring

00:44:27.840 --> 00:44:28.800
 for God

00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:29.240
 to do a

00:44:29.240 --> 00:44:29.619
 work in

00:44:29.619 --> 00:44:30.079
 their life

00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:30.680
 as well

00:44:30.680 --> 00:44:31.400
 not just

00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:31.940
 a physical

00:44:31.940 --> 00:44:32.340
 work

00:44:32.340 --> 00:44:33.000
 I'm sure

00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:33.300
 it was

00:44:33.300 --> 00:44:33.680
 connected

00:44:33.680 --> 00:44:34.300
 also to

00:44:34.300 --> 00:44:34.820
 a spiritual

00:44:34.820 --> 00:44:35.280
 work

00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:37.539
 this church

00:44:37.539 --> 00:44:38.360
 was experiencing

00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:39.300
 more than

00:44:39.300 --> 00:44:39.660
 ever

00:44:39.660 --> 00:44:40.579
 this work

00:44:40.579 --> 00:44:41.119
 of God

00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:41.920
 among them

00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:42.980
 truly

00:44:42.980 --> 00:44:44.300
 great grace

00:44:44.300 --> 00:44:45.280
 was upon

00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:45.740
 them all

00:44:45.740 --> 00:44:46.079
 and

00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:48.119
 the

00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:48.719
 adversary

00:44:48.719 --> 00:44:49.860
 however

00:44:49.860 --> 00:44:51.059
 he tried

00:44:51.059 --> 00:44:52.440
 to dislodge

00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:53.039
 this work

00:44:53.039 --> 00:44:53.639
 to corrupt

00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:54.159
 the work

00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:54.559
 and to

00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:55.440
 bring it

00:44:55.440 --> 00:44:55.940
 down

00:44:55.940 --> 00:44:59.199
 hard things

00:44:59.199 --> 00:44:59.900
 and severity

00:44:59.900 --> 00:45:00.619
 and punishment

00:45:00.619 --> 00:45:02.179
 God intervened

00:45:02.179 --> 00:45:03.039
 and God

00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:03.400
 helped the

00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:03.960
 church remain

00:45:03.960 --> 00:45:04.219
 holy

00:45:04.219 --> 00:45:04.599
 so it's

00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:05.199
 testimony

00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:06.599
 it's testimony

00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:07.480
 to a holy

00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:07.860
 God

00:45:07.860 --> 00:45:08.579
 could continue

00:45:08.579 --> 00:45:10.380
 and the work

00:45:10.380 --> 00:45:10.819
 of God

00:45:10.819 --> 00:45:11.340
 among them

00:45:11.340 --> 00:45:12.019
 could flourish

00:45:12.019 --> 00:45:14.000
 I wonder

00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:14.739
 this morning

00:45:14.739 --> 00:45:16.539
 I wonder

00:45:16.539 --> 00:45:18.099
 what is a

00:45:18.099 --> 00:45:18.439
 work that

00:45:18.439 --> 00:45:18.819
 God needs

00:45:18.819 --> 00:45:19.119
 to do

00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:19.339
 in your

00:45:19.339 --> 00:45:19.579
 life

00:45:19.579 --> 00:45:19.859
 today

00:45:19.859 --> 00:45:22.059
 if you

00:45:22.059 --> 00:45:22.279
 want to

00:45:22.279 --> 00:45:22.679
 experience

00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:23.279
 this morning

00:45:23.279 --> 00:45:24.299
 great grace

00:45:24.299 --> 00:45:25.500
 that's on

00:45:25.500 --> 00:45:26.000
 your life

00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:26.859
 in this

00:45:26.859 --> 00:45:27.399
 overflow

00:45:27.399 --> 00:45:28.539
 of God's

00:45:28.539 --> 00:45:28.819
 grace

00:45:28.819 --> 00:45:29.459
 which leads

00:45:29.459 --> 00:45:29.959
 to

00:45:29.959 --> 00:45:31.419
 extravagant

00:45:31.419 --> 00:45:31.959
 giving

00:45:31.959 --> 00:45:33.419
 and extravagant

00:45:33.419 --> 00:45:34.039
 participation

00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:35.479
 and extravagant

00:45:35.479 --> 00:45:36.279
 unity

00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:37.720
 but

00:45:37.720 --> 00:45:38.980
 preceded

00:45:38.980 --> 00:45:39.400
 all

00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:39.920
 by

00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:41.460
 a commitment

00:45:41.460 --> 00:45:42.180
 to holiness

00:45:42.180 --> 00:45:44.920
 where does

00:45:44.920 --> 00:45:45.340
 God need to

00:45:45.340 --> 00:45:45.820
 do a work

00:45:45.820 --> 00:45:46.740
 for you

00:45:46.740 --> 00:45:47.040
 where does

00:45:47.040 --> 00:45:47.440
 God need to

00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:48.000
 do a work

00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:48.940
 for me

00:45:48.940 --> 00:45:49.300
 today

00:45:49.300 --> 00:45:50.600
 as it

00:45:50.600 --> 00:45:51.019
 relates to

00:45:51.019 --> 00:45:51.360
 being a

00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:51.700
 kind of

00:45:51.700 --> 00:45:52.080
 church

00:45:52.080 --> 00:45:53.420
 that God

00:45:53.420 --> 00:45:54.519
 can show

00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:55.019
 his favor

00:45:55.019 --> 00:45:55.340
 on

00:45:55.340 --> 00:45:56.420
 so we can

00:45:56.420 --> 00:45:56.860
 enjoy the

00:45:56.860 --> 00:45:57.600
 benefits of

00:45:57.600 --> 00:45:58.500
 God's work

00:45:58.500 --> 00:45:59.180
 among us

00:45:59.180 --> 00:45:59.620
 and God's

00:45:59.620 --> 00:46:00.040
 work in

00:46:00.040 --> 00:46:00.800
 this community

00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:02.019
 as he's

00:46:02.019 --> 00:46:02.460
 working

00:46:02.460 --> 00:46:03.960
 personally

00:46:03.960 --> 00:46:05.700
 and corporately

00:46:05.699 --> 00:46:07.139
 to lead a

00:46:07.139 --> 00:46:07.460
 people

00:46:07.460 --> 00:46:09.219
 closer to

00:46:09.219 --> 00:46:09.519
 Jesus

00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:10.759
 so that we

00:46:10.759 --> 00:46:11.219
 can shine

00:46:11.219 --> 00:46:11.679
 the wonder

00:46:11.679 --> 00:46:12.419
 the majesty

00:46:12.419 --> 00:46:13.019
 the glory

00:46:13.019 --> 00:46:13.519
 of God

00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:15.299
 over this

00:46:15.299 --> 00:46:15.559
 city

00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:16.480
 oh may God

00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:17.119
 help us

00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:18.599
 to be committed

00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:19.879
 to this kind

00:46:19.879 --> 00:46:20.259
 of living

00:46:20.259 --> 00:46:22.379
 father we thank

00:46:22.379 --> 00:46:23.159
 you for this

00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:23.559
 example

00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:24.279
 as hard as

00:46:24.279 --> 00:46:24.699
 it is

00:46:24.699 --> 00:46:26.839
 this example

00:46:26.839 --> 00:46:27.559
 that is embedded

00:46:27.559 --> 00:46:28.839
 in a promise

00:46:28.839 --> 00:46:30.460
 this promise

00:46:30.460 --> 00:46:31.199
 of your working

00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:32.219
 among us

00:46:32.219 --> 00:46:33.439
 the testimony

00:46:33.439 --> 00:46:34.419
 of that work

00:46:34.419 --> 00:46:35.019
 that continues

00:46:35.019 --> 00:46:35.659
 to flourish

00:46:35.659 --> 00:46:37.119
 and of course

00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:37.960
 we see even

00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:38.799
 in our own

00:46:38.799 --> 00:46:39.719
 day the work

00:46:39.719 --> 00:46:40.379
 of God

00:46:40.379 --> 00:46:42.000
 through your

00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:42.699
 Holy Spirit

00:46:42.699 --> 00:46:43.699

00:46:43.699 --> 00:46:44.859
 your purposes

00:46:44.859 --> 00:46:46.699
 and Lord I pray

00:46:46.699 --> 00:46:47.239
 that you would

00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:48.779
 help us to be

00:46:48.779 --> 00:46:49.079
 committed

00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:50.759
 to be committed

00:46:50.759 --> 00:46:52.980
 to the goal

00:46:52.980 --> 00:46:54.079
 of living

00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:55.000
 a holy life

00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:56.839
 Lord as you're

00:46:56.839 --> 00:46:57.159
 holy

00:46:57.159 --> 00:46:58.719
 help us to be

00:46:58.719 --> 00:46:58.960
 holy

00:46:58.960 --> 00:47:00.739
 not to

00:47:00.739 --> 00:47:02.239
 not to be like

00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:03.639
 perhaps Ananias

00:47:03.639 --> 00:47:04.159
 and Sapphira

00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:05.359
 who had so

00:47:05.359 --> 00:47:05.900
 many good

00:47:05.900 --> 00:47:06.400
 things in

00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:06.799
 place

00:47:06.799 --> 00:47:08.500
 and maybe

00:47:08.500 --> 00:47:09.159
 just one

00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:10.099
 little bad

00:47:10.099 --> 00:47:10.500
 thing was

00:47:10.500 --> 00:47:10.879
 okay

00:47:10.879 --> 00:47:11.920
 may we not
