The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg highlights the importance of the distinction between being born of the seed of David according to the flesh and being declared as the Son of God according to the Spirit.

Gregg critiques the hypocritical behavior of the scribes and Pharisees, suggesting that being a teacher is an essential aspect of the mission of Christ, but it should not convey a sense of spiritual superiority or status.
