Pastor Mark outlines the phenomenal growth in the 1st Century Church, and the trouble that came with it: persecution, sin issues, division, distraction. This sermon asks Christians the question: "Are you willing to deal with the uncomfortable realities of growth?" The sermon also deals with opportunities that growth provides, and ways to take advantage of those opportunities.

This message deals with the story of Ananias and Sapphira, and the first sin in the early church. The sin of lying was dealt with immediately and harshly by God because of the possibility of hurting the unity experienced in the early church. God loves unity in the church, and it is one of the signs of revival!
