Lying Donors (Acts 4:32-5:11) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon explores the early church's radical communal sharing and the severe consequences of hypocrisy, using the story of Ananias and Sapphira from Acts. Scripture passages from Acts highlight Ananias and Sapphira's deception in presenting a gift they had partially withheld from the apostles. The practical takeaway is a call to genuine, cheerful giving, emphasizing that God sees and values the heart behind our offerings, not just the amount.
