When a marriage becomes a conspiracy against God, who pays the price? The story of Ananias and Sapphira shows us the devastating consequences of deceit and the profound need for the fear of God in marriage and the church. The sermon also issues a direct challenge to young men: don’t pursue a culture of constant coddling. Like the young men in Acts 5 who ‘rose up’ even in the face of death, be ready to do hard things in service to Jesus and his bride.
