Half-Hearted Church: Fear the Lord

Acts 5:1-11 | Eric Hovis | 10/26/25

This week, we continue with our Why Church? series. In chapter 5:1-11 of Acts, we see Ananias and Sapphira sell a piece of property and keep back some of the money for themselves. Peter confronts them about their deceit, and they end up dying as a result.

Pastor Eric gives us three warnings against half-heartedness, and a call to be “all in” with God from the text:

1) Half-heartedness in truth

2) Half-heartedness in marriage

3) Half-heartedness in generosity

4) Fear the Lord and run to God’s grace
