Acts 5:1-11 – 14th January 2007

•	Why do you think Ananias and Sapphira held back some of the money but claimed they had given it all?  Are any of their motivations a temptation for you?
•	What does Peter say is the significant sin of them both?  How might we do this today?
•	Is God’s judgment fair?  Why doesn’t he always act in this way?
•	What practical steps can we take to insure that we do not fall into the trap of Ananias and Sapphira?
•	How are the church and the wider community affected by this event?  What might this look like today?
•	How can we, as a church, be both a place in which struggling sinners can be cared for and hypocrites are disciplined?
