“The Danger of Dis-Integration” Acts 5:1-11 Greg Meyer

 


                                                     
                                            Sermon Discussion Questions


1) Read over Acts 5:1-11. What do we see going on in this section?

2) Dishonest deceit was interrupting the church community. How do these verses contrast with what is going on at the end of chapter 4? (4:32-37)

3) We see Ananias and Sapphira living compartmentally. How does living this way effect them, their community and God?

4) Sermon quote: “Divided hearts, create divided lives. This is the opposite of what God wants for us. He has called us to holiness. What does living an integrated life look like?” Discuss with the group. 


5) When we believe lies about God or about ourselves, it has ripple effects on all of our relationships. (Relationship with God, with others and ourselves). Can we name some of those lies that we believe? Do we see God as a harsh ruler? Or a loving/forgiving Father? Are we living out of these fears? 

6)We stand in Jesus, gloriously complete. Through the gift/power of the Holy Spirt in our lives, we are able to live holistically, where every area of our lives are in conformity with the gospel. This includes our whole being: our emotions, our sexuality, our bodies, our minds and our spirits. How does this truth change the way we live daily? Does it change how we live daily? Does this truth encourage you?
