What does a changed lifestyle look like? For the person whose life has been transformed by Jesus Christ, who is following Acts 2:42, what should they expect God to do in them and around them? We need to look no further than our portion of Scripture before us today. Pastor Jeff helps us to see how the community in Jerusalem was impacted by the sudden and powerful testimony of the brand new church who continually met in the midst. As we allow our lifestyle to be changed to reflect the same spiritual pursuits, we too can expect God to do a work among our families, our community, and more. We invite you to the message titled, “The Christian Lifestyle” in Acts 2 for our time in Sound Doctrine with Pastor Jeff.

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.

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.
