Three Almost Disciples (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the concept of following Jesus geographically, as seen in the Gospel of Luke and Matthew. He explores the idea of leaving behind settled conditions and cultural expectations in order to pursue Christ wherever he leads. While it may not necessarily involve physically traveling to different locations, following Jesus requires a willingness to live an uncomfortable life and count the cost of discipleship. Gregg encourages listeners to consider what it means to truly follow Christ and to pursue him wholeheartedly.
