4 SCRIPTURE Acts 5: 1-11 (NKJV) Lying to the Holy Spirit 5 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, 2 sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and 3 laid it at the apostles feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep 4 back part of the price of the land for yourself? While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God. 5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these 6 things. And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him. 7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter answered her, Tell me whether you sold the land for so much? She said, Yes, for so much. 9 Then Peter said to her, How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out. 10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 11 So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things. LEADER: This is the Word of God CONGREGATION: Thanks Be Unto God 4

5 RESPONSIVE READING Psalm 24:1-5 (NKJV) LEADER: The earth is the Lord s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. CONG: For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters. LEADER: Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? CONG: ALL: He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. 5

6 I M ON THE BATTLEFIELD FOR MY LORD CHORUS I am on the battlefield for my Lord, I m on the battlefield for my Lord; And I promised Him that I would serve Him till I die. I m on the battlefield for my Lord. I was alone and idle, I was a sinner too, I heard a voice from heaven, say there is work to do, I took the Master s hand, and I joined the Christian band, I m on the battlefield for my Lord. I left my friends and kindred Bound for the Promised land, The grace of God upon me, The Bible in my hand, In distant lands I trod, Crying sinner come to God, I m on the battlefield for my Lord. Now when I met my Savior, I met Him with a smile, He healed my wounded spirit, And owned me as His child, Around the throne of grace, He appoints my soul a place, I m on the battlefield for my Lord. 6

7 The tenth shall be holy unto the Lord. Leviticus 27:32 Every Christian should strive to learn how to be a cheerful giver. When we give what does it actually mean? It simply means we, cheerfully give to God our tithes and offerings. Tithing honors God. Are you giving the Lord His tithes or your tips?
