The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses controversial topics surrounding the Sabbath and healing in part two of his talk. He argues against a humanistic view of God that places healing as a top priority and emphasizes the importance of trusting God whether or not healing occurs. Gregg also addresses criticisms of Jesus' actions on the Sabbath and the reasons why some desired to kill him for not honoring him as the son of God. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of following Scripture and seeking honor that comes from God rather than from others.
