Love and Grace will be messy Acts 4 32 37 Love and Grace will be messy

Ananias and Sapphira

The apostles were performing miracles

OT fulfilment Deu 15:4 But there will be no poor among you; for the LORD will bless you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess—

Jesus fulfillment Joh 13:34  new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.  Joh 13:35  By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” 

Evangelism and lifestyle go together

Love is costly

Loving others is messy

Even if Church is going great there will still be problems

Love and grace are always messy When in doubt default to grace
