The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the importance of prioritizing listening to God over serving Him. He uses the story of Mary and Martha to illustrate this point, stating that Martha's focus on serving took precedence over listening to Jesus, while Mary's willingness to listen was praised by Jesus. Gregg emphasizes the idea that serving God and listening to Him are not opposing forces but rather go hand in hand. The talk also touches upon the concept of fearing God and not fearing man or material possessions.
