Compare the practice of the early church and Barnabus in Acts 4:32-37 with the admonitions in Matthew 6:24; 1 Timothy 6:9,17; and Hebrews 13:5. What relationship exists between generosity and freedom?
Read Acts 5:1-11. What sin are Ananias and Sapphira guilty of committing? Against whom did they sin? What result does the discipline they received by God have on the church as a whole?
What do the following Scriptures reveal about a “healthy” (or biblical) fear of the Lord?
Acts 9:31—
Luke 12:4-5—
Psalm 2:11—
1 John 4:17—
Revelation 15:4—
In Acts 9:31 Luke equates “walking in the fear of the Lord” with “encouragement of the Holy Spirit” and “peace”. What encouragement and sense of peace would be the result of increasing a healthy fear of the Lord in your life? Has the Holy Spirit revealed any sin in your life as a result of this study? What will you do about it? (Hebrews 12:5, 1 John 1:9)
