Acts Chapter 5

In this weeks Chapter of Acts Ananias and Sapphira are caught in a lie and both are supernaturally killed for it. The Apostles continue to be persecuted for their sermons and miracles, and when they refuse to stop, they are imprisoned for it. An angel releases them from prison and they return to their preaching.

Verses 1-10:

• What was Ananias' crime?
• How did Peter know that Ananias was lying?
• Who was the lie spoken to?
• But who was the offence against?
• Is this always the way it is with lying?
• What is it about lying that is so offensive to God?

Acts 12-42

• What is the reason for the Apostles' suffering?
• Is all suffering persecution?
• Why are the Apostles able to have Joy in their suffering? 
• How can we have the same reaction to suffering?
