The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this discourse, Steve Gregg discusses how Jesus prepared and sent out his twelve disciples as emissaries to the cities of Israel. He emphasizes that modern-day Christians should not compromise their beliefs and should instead strive to emulate Jesus' lifestyle. Gregg notes that while rejection and possibly even persecution may be experienced in the short-term, it is better to die obedient than live a compromised life. He also emphasizes that a true disciple of Jesus must prioritize their love for him above all else.
