Episode 201: The Danger of Half-Truths - The story of Sapphira
Hey GIGI girls, Today we have a brand-new story for you - we are looking at a woman in the Bible found in the New Testament. She was married to Ananias, and they both made a terrible mistake. You can find their story in your Bible in Acts 5: 1-11. Here is a sneak peek....                             A small leather bag filled with coins lay on the table between them. Ananias paced back and forth.  Sapphira watched him. Her stomach fluttered. “We have to decide now,” he said, voice low and urgent. They had sold a field—something many believers had been doing to support the new church. The generosity was incredible, and people admired it deeply. Barnabas had given a magnificent gift just the week before, and his name was on everyone’s lips. Sapphira’s eyes dropped to the bag of coins. “Are we truly giving all of it?” she asked quietly. Ananias stopped pacing and looked at her with a confident smile. “We’ll give most of it,” he said. “Enough to look like everything. No one will know.” A breeze slipped through the open doorway, brushing cold across her arms. “But… we said we would give it all,” she whispered. Ananias stepped closer, lowering his voice. “Sapphira, listen. We’re not lying to God. We’re still helping the church. We just don’t need to tell them about the part we’re keeping.” Her throat tightened. The uneasy feeling in her spirit grew heavier. Respect. Admiration. Approval. The things she secretly wanted crowded her thoughts. And the coins glimmered temptingly in the dim morning light. She nodded. But her heart felt heavy as stone. Tune in to hear what happened next!                                    ___________________________________ Read story on the blog Buy 6 Royal Women of the Bible Buy GIGI Teen Gratitude Journal Buy Giselle the secret of the locket Keep in the loop by signing up for our GIGI Notes HERE Hosts: Esther & Steph Mix & effects: Stephanie Giselle Music Purple Planet Music  email us: writegigi5@gmail.com Write by post GIGI Teen Bible Talk PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt QLD 4122 music credit: Purple planet music All music played on the podcast radio is covered under the APRA AMCOS Online Mini Licence.
