The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg

In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the fear of man versus the fear of God. He points out that fearing man over God can harm one eternally, while fearing man cannot hurt one physically. He emphasizes the importance of spiritual well-being over bodily well-being and warns against succumbing to hypocrisy and covetousness. He encourages listeners to lay up treasures in heaven and to prioritize serving the kingdom of God over worldly possessions.
