Missionary Discourse (Part 4)

The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this discourse, Steve Gregg discusses the topic of heaven and hell and how it relates to Christian beliefs. He explains that as Christians, we are discipled to believe that death leads to glorification and that God is not someone who punishes and destroys souls. Instead, He values each one of us, even sparrows that are deemed worthless by humans. Gregg also delves into the topic of family division and how it pertains to Jesus’ teachings of bringing the sword and causing divisions, but notes that it is not about war, and rather touches on the idea of polarization within society.
