Acts 4:32-5:11 - The Early Church

Part 13 of the Acts sermon series.
In this passage, there are two major contrasting events of the early church. The first focuses on the unity of the believers as they were filled with the Holy Spirit and all their efforts surrounded preaching the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ. The second event caused great fear to fall on the church, but also showed how God views hypocrisy in His Church.
