In this episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price discuss the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts chapter 5. They provide the context of the early church and the Council of Jerusalem, highlighting the opposition the believers faced from both Jewish and Roman authorities. They explain that the sin in this narrative is not the withholding of money, but the lying and deception. They discuss the significance of lying to the apostles, who represent God, and the fear that came upon the church as a result. They emphasize that this passage is a law passage and does not contain the gospel.   Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi Junk Drawer Jesus By Matt Popovits Listen to 1517 Executive Director Scott Keith and Magnus Persson on the latest Re:Formera podcast Signup For Free Advent Church Resources for 2024 Clothed with Christ by Brian William Thomas More from the hosts: Scott Keith Daniel Emery Price
