Acts 4:34-5:2
... there was no needy person among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need. Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means 'son of encouragement'), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet. Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet. (NIVUK)

The Early Church understood that true fellowship meant sharing.  Some people owned property and were willing to sell it so that other believers could have food or whatever was needed.  The apostles then distributed the sale proceeds – and this became such a complex and sensitive task that other godly men were subsequently appointed to oversee this social aid (Acts 6:1-7).  Nobody was under compulsion to give, and they could present to the Lord whatever amount they chose.  Two examples are given: one of a wholehearted giver, and another couple who were not.

“A great way to draw closer to God and learn more about how we can show/use our faith at work.”
