Being an Acts 2:42 Christian - Episode 4
July 17, 2019
With so much focus on work-life balance, the implication is that our existence mostly consists of those two categories. However the Bible declares that if we have a spiritual balance of 4 spiritual fundamentals then, work...life...and all other areas will find their rightful order, because we have a proper spiritual-life balance with the Lord first. For this reason Pastor Jeff has taken the time to slow down and examine the need for these 4 key areas. As we finish with a look at prayer, we see that the early believers’ dependence on prayer is often absent with today’s church. Pastor Jeff helps us to see how we can regain that personally. With our study in Acts 2, - titled, “Being an Acts 2:42 Christian” join us for today’s encouragement in Sound Doctrine.

What the world doesn’t understand what God is doing, many times is met with ignorance, avoidance, or resistance. And though there are many who don’t always inquire as to what God is doing, God has sent the believers into the world to reveal the glorious Gospel of His Son, Jesus Christ. As Pastor Jeff takes us through the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2, he shows how the Lord used the crowd’s fascination to share the Gospel through the apostle Peter. It’s an encouragement for us to see areas to share the Gospel as well. With our second installment of the study titled, “The Church’s First Witness,” let’s open to Acts 2 with Pastor Jeff Johnson.
