The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the topic of signs, leaven, and Peter's confession, drawing from various passages in the Bible. He touches on the importance of compassion as the driving force behind Jesus' miracles, rather than showing off his authority. Gregg also points out the danger of being obsessed with signs and wonders, and the need for being ready for the second coming of Christ. He urges people to have a sincere relationship with God and not to depend on half-heartedness in face of the challenges that may come.
