Peters Fish, Children (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this segment from Steve Gregg's teaching on Matthew 17, he discusses the story of Peter and the temple tax. While Jesus never explicitly confirms or denies paying the tax, Peter anticipates that Jesus does not pay it. Gregg emphasizes that while tithing is not obligatory for Christians, giving generously from the heart is still important. Additionally, Jesus avoids paying the temple tax to avoid offending others and because the temple was not serving their needs. Gregg also notes that Jesus' use of miraculous power is not inherently wrong and can be used for the glory of God.
