Summary

(Acts 5:1-11) Everything God ordains, Satan opposes. As the first church grew, the enemy tried to gain entry! He caused Ananias and Sapphira to lie to the Lord and the church. If we are to avoid such tragedy, we must guard our own hearts and homes. (07046230223) Join Scott Pauley's study through Scripture this year.

0:00.0	As we read the gospel records, we read eyewitness accounts of the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus.
0:14.4	In a sense, the gospels are just the beginning of Christ's work. The adventure continues in the

0:55.2	And it is found in the story of Ananias and Sapphira.
